http://variety.com/2016/film/news/amc-texting-theaters-phones-1201752978/quote:Would appealing to millennials involve allowing texting or cellphone use? Its only a matter of time until you can use a hashtag for the theater where you are at and it will show up in a overlay for the movie you are watching. Anyway I am going to go cry now at my altar to Father Cinema, maybe the ghost of Orson Welles will fix everything wrong with this cruel dark world.

AMC will add an app to your phone that will tell you to just watch the movie whenever you ask something that is about to be answer in 30 seconds anyway.

Going to the theater kinna sucks in general. It's not like everyone follows the no cell phone or no talking rule now. And paying $17 for a ticket ($21 for imax) when you can buy an HD digital version of the movie for quite a bit less is p dumb, so I'm not surprised AMC would do this.

They're going to allow people to play with themselves during the film, but only if it's an R or NC-17 movie.PBS Newshour posted:AMC will add an app to your phone that will tell you to just watch the movie whenever you ask something that is about to be answer in 30 seconds anyway. An app that scrolls the captioning of the film so you don't get anymore, "What did that guy just say?!"

They should invent movie projection lights that reduce the contrast of the light from the cellphones and the dark. Or make cellphones that are readable in the dark but don't exude light like a TV screen.

LOL @ anyone who pays money to go sit with strangers and eat a $7 3000-calorie bucket of popcorn while holding in their pee for 2 hours instead of being patient and downloading it and watching it at home in your underpants like a civilized person.

I have a small independent movie theater in my town and it's amazing. I saw a movie literally by myself the other day. Don't discount the power of seeing a movie in theaters, it's powerful. Also lol who the gently caress buys popcorn.

If you live in a city you probably have a good smaller theater, if you live in anything smaller you have a theater that isn't going to be pack all the time for every showing. Like its not that hard to not have a bad movie experience.

i agree, the best way to make it more appealing to go to theaters isn't to make the tickets cheaper but to make the theater experience worse for your customers

Having a side screen with scrolling livetweets from people in-theater (and maybe all watching the same movie at the same time like for big premieres) is actually a pretty good gimmick idea for a cinema.

It'd be ok if it was a special screening for that, but I think the lag between typing, sending, and posting would make it hard to get much MST3K-worthy comedy out of it. Goontube.
