If David Lynch had a three year old right now he would be watching movies on his phone in two-minute chunks during toilet breaks and he'd be thankful for it

It didn't have reclining seats, there didn't seem to be anything notable about the screen over other theaters, their system for ordering food was loving archaic, etc. I wasn't impressed at all.

There's a theater in town that's 80-something years old. Beautiful inside, but the seats are also 80 years old (I'm sure the cushions have been replaced a couple times) and they are uncomfortable as gently caress. Hope your BMI isn't over 23 and you're not taller than 5' 8" because you will not have a good time. The last film I saw there, I remember more about how miserable I was sitting than anything actually about the film. It's unlikely that I would ever go back. Recliners are awesome, though I hate how bright the control lights always are.

Asiina posted:The city I used to live in the regular theatre had recliner seats, maybe only 10 to a row and you could get alcohol, all reserved seating and you still paid the regular movie price so you could get that experience for like $9 on Tuesdays. Now I live in a larger city and the only theatre that does this considers it a "VIP Experience" so it costs $25. LOL, I went to my local theater here in Australia to see Rampage a few days ago and the ticket cost me $22 plus $1.50 online booking fee. The screen had a wrinkle in the fabric which distracted me a bunch of times throughout the movie and it was auditorium seating so every time anyone in the room checked their phone there'd be a flash of light in the corner of my eye. Jokes on them though, I bought some candy at the supermarket for $2 and smuggled it in instead of paying $7 for the exact same product at the concession stand.

I have very rarely had lovely technical problems with any of the cinemas I go to in Perth, crowds and ticket prices is another issue...

GoldStandardConure posted:What cinema chain in Australia? I have very rarely had lovely technical problems with any of the cinemas I go to in Perth, crowds and ticket prices is another issue... Hoyts. Also when I booked the ticket online the email didn't show the barcode so the guy checking tickets had to type the booking code in manually instead of just scanning my phone.  I'm being a bit nitpicky though, usually the most annoying thing about going to the movies other than the cost of the tickets is that about 50% of the time someone will be sitting in your seat so you have to do the whole "Uh yeah I think that's my seat?" song and dance. Edit: just to head off the inevitable question, every seat is assigned so if you just sit somewhere else then you'll just get kicked out by whoever booked that seat.

My favorite part is the inevitable dickhead cascade that starts when someone comes in 5 minutes into the film, someone is in their seats so they make them move, someone is in theirs etc etc The two cinemas I go to regularly don't do assigned seating, but I don't mind getting there early to get decent seats (also they offer memberships with discount tickets, so that's a bonus).

The MSJ posted:I love going to a theater with a beanie two-seater because then I can lie down while watching movies. I dig that that this is hitting the "so grey it's basically black and white" thing hard. It's cool and ambitious. But I think Niccol forgot that black and white movies of the era he's trying to evoke are gorgeous because of their use of light and shadow, not lack of color. But yeah, I'll watch that. Niccol has had some stumbles but overall is still rad. This is exactly the arena I want him to be playing in. Same goes for Clive Owen. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 11:55 on Apr 19, 2018 |

Eezee posted:Not having assigned seating in every Cinema basically makes you a third world country. If I can't snag the best seats long before the movie and then arrive at the last minute I wouldn't go see any movies. Very few theaters here in Orlando have assigned seating, and the ones that do are a haul to get to from where I'm at. As a result, yes, I barely every go to the theater. If I could spend, say, $30 and see a movie at my house on day one, I 100% would.

Actually pretty stoked about this since it has Carpenter's blessing and he's doing the music for it. Would be a nicer lasting legacy finale than whatever that last thing he did was...The Ward?

Can't imagine many other people so willingly returning to the b-movie slasher series even from H20 and beyond. After the godawful way they wrote her out of Resurrection I think she survives this one.
