Sin City

[deathnotronic]

i dont go to the movies. i can't deal with the audience who doesn't appreciate it. i wish they could give me 10 bucks and id sit them in front of a dvd and let them talk on the phone, fiddle with the baby, crack jokes and be loud.

at the theaters here, they have people trolling the aisles, trying to sell candy and soda and stuff. it's like a fucking baseball game.

Wow..

Talk about desperation. They did that about 8-10 years ago here but people got fucking pissed and the theater actually lost money. I realize theaters make their money off selling candy, soda and popcorn. However, I still hate the idea. Why does eating/drinking and watching a movie seem natural for alot of American movie-goers?

I don't mind popcorn. Theater popcorn is really, really good. But like, pizza, and nachos, etc... I don't get. This isn't a sports game, nor is it a monster truck rally. Next thing you know they're going to have beer and peanuts.

This is why whenever I want to watch a movie, I go to my dad's house and use his home theater, complete with movie seats and all.

That's why I always buy a big box of Junior Mints at the dollar store before I go to the movies.  Fuck that four-dollar shit.

i don't know about u guys, but they serve alcohol at sum of the better cinemas here, with recliner seats and first class leg room. those i go to.

no one paying that much for a movie is gonna be making noise. the alcohol sedates them.

The theater nearest to me has this huge dinner and a movie thing. It's nuts and costs like $40 but it's catered with amazing food, I hear. They also show movies like a week early with it. I should try it sometime.

I find it hard to believe some of you don't like being around other people.

So, what must they think of you, just another face in the crowd?

America's the fattest, most indulgent nation in the world?

No, Texas is.

[metroshane]

Texas is a nation?  Well, I guess you're right.

i don't know what u mean by that and i don't know what it has to do with anything. also, don't make this into a personal thing like the time pete used the word "asshole". not everyone is talking about u when they use that word.

Got the same thing, right here in the fattest nation in the world. It's awesome.

I've stated many times before my preference for seeing films on the big screen. There's not much that can beat it. Every now and then, I get a really lousy crowd at a mainstream theater, but they're usually not too distracting.

I have good luck at matinees.

I saw Sin City at a semi-crowded midnight showing, and audience reactions actually helped the experience.

Yeah. Going to see a film on opening night can be great fun.
