Alamo drafthouse is the best movie theater experience and one of the few things I'm proud of austin for. Before each movie, there's a custom pre show (anything related to the movie which can be stuff from YouTube or a recap of all the marvel movies before infinity war - 0 ads). The food isn't as good as some of the other dine in theaters but that's OK. Full bar, gently caress yes. You can tattle on people for talking or loving around on your phone. I've done it and it works. Part of the pre show is literally a sign that says "we'll kick you the gently caress out if you're a oval office, shut up"

ya san francisco has an alamo draft house now too. go there Waltzing

I go see movies that have been out for a long time because they're more likely to be empty so I can watch the movie naked in peace.

Why I he gently caress are you paying theater prices to see movies? Everyone has a big rear end tv at home now.

going out to the mall, getting dinner, and seeing a movie counts as a "date" and if you're in a relationship you need to do that at least once a week or so or the sex stops and they start bitching that you never leave the house.

There's very few movies that are worth seeing in theaters.

I see ALL the comic book movies, cause my kids love them, but they're usually patient enough to wait for a weekend after matinee. Get seats just find. OP is a weirdo, gently caress him.

You are 100% wrong. Reserved seating is awesome. Not having to bumrush the theater to get the best seats and showing up AFTER the lovely ads (because you already have your seats) is beyond helpful. It’s in no way a downgrade. I went and saw Bumblebee on a whim today and the reserved seating theater was out of the good seats (because those people planned ahead). So I went to one of the 1st come- 1st served theaters. It felt like I was back in the Stone Age.

I’m the rear end in a top hat who reserves and pays for four seats and sits with my partner in the middle two.

There’s no drafthouse around or we’d just go there, so until then this keeps the unwashed masses at bay

The closest one to my apartment is a weird rear end combo of old and new. Upscale area with nice restaurants all around, the theater has a full bar, unlimited popcorn/soft drink included with all tickets, and.. ancient lovely narrow chairs with no reserved seating.

And everyone would rather sit next to a bum at the movie theatre. At least they don't bust out with an overly-loud weird laugh at non-funny moments that makes everyone in theatre turn around and go "... the gently caress?" like moms do.

I'm not understand the people complaining about people sitting next to them with reserved seats. Those seats are huge with tray tables and individual cup holders. You might as well be in the next room with the amount of space between seats. This is how theaters lost 2/3 of their capacity.

Well that's my story.
The theaters by me with reserved seating have recliners that are practically the size of love seats when you consider two of them together, it's great.

I also enjoy kicking people out of my/our seats when I show up and they end up drifting elsewhere, only to be kicked out of their new seats when their proper owners show up, and finally they have to settle into their front-row seats that they've been trying to ditch for the last ten minutes.

The economy doing well doesn't translate to the lower and middle classes having more money. It just means corporations are raking in the dough. If they were to give a serious look at where the poverty line should be, it's possible we would be at 25% or more.

The second half of my statement was proably the more important one. If you don;t have 20 bucks to spend on a movie every month or so its not really the orange man's or capitalism's fault.

The reclining seats own and have actually made me go to the movies on a regular basis for the first time in 5+ years. Its the same price or even cheaper than it was back then too. Popcorn is still bullshit expensive though, as is tradition.

It's annoying when I'm just trying to get tickets at the front kiosk and the guys taking forever but when I walk into the theater there are 4 people total in there why the hell did you take 5 minutes of my time to pick a seat when I'm just gonna sit anywhere

There's a place in Richmond called Cinebistro which has the comfy chairs with lots of space and they serve you dinner and I don't like going to any other place to see movies anymore. The foods pretty good and more importantly they don't underpour at the bar. Pretty sure you have to be 21 to get in too. Also the first movie I saw there was Elysium which I thought was kind of appropriate.

I kinda have a bro crush on Matt Damon.

Your qualifying statement was that the economy is booming.

And the reality is, there are a lot of people for whom $20 is the difference between eating for 2-3 days (or more) and watching the latest comic book stupidity.

To be fair that scene was hilarious.

Two hours of tense family drama where you think it's just a crazy white lady.

Then Dad catches fire, mom starts spider crawling in the ceiling and trying to bust through the attic door with her head, kid turns and there's just this pasty fat white guy who gives this little hand wave like you would give a baby.

The movie was trash but that last 20/30 minutes ramped up enough it went from horror to comedy.
