God forbid theaters look for a way to operate at capacity instead of showing movies to half empty rows of cramped, lovely seats.

Reserved seating is not necessarily upgraded seating Theater near me has assigned seating for the regular smaller seats, not the giant lounge chairs- for the big ones it doesn't matter if there's someone beside you

All movies are bad and/or made for chinese audiences these days so why would it matter what the seating arrangement is, op? Just stay at home and not waste your money.

I hate Alamo Drafthouse. No talking and no phones is fantastic. However, the the servers spend the first forty five minutes of the movie walking up and down the rows, talking to people about what they are ordering and bringing food and drinks. And there are lights on every single menu holder that are brighter and more distracting that a cell phone screen and they stay on the entire movie. Then, during the climax of the movie, they go down every aisle and set the bills down. I seriously don’t get it - I’ve been multiple times and it’s consistently the most distracting environment I’ve watched a movie in.

lol who the gently caress goes to a movie theater anymore instead of just waiting like 2 days for the pirated version to get uploaded to a torrent site and then you can just watch at home and pause to get up to take a piss or get a drink or whatever lol paying $15 to listen to people munch on popcorn, smell other people's gross movie theater garbage food and risk getting shot

Why be so protective about the Hollywood rape machine's profits? You can't dismantle capitalism in one day, comrade, but you can chip in a little.

Reserved seating owns because it means you don't have to arrive half an hour before previews to get a good seat. Besides, any roadshow presentation in the golden age had reserved seating, so it's nothing new.

If I don't have to show up early to theaters anymore how am I going to learn that sweet trivia before the previews. Why yes, I do want to know how many movies Chris Pratt has been in. Thank you for making my experience better.

I'm glad I, an adult in my 30s, am able to freely and proudly waste my money without care, like the founders of this great nation intended.

I'm the guy who goes to movies alone. Usually I'll take an edible before the movie so it'll kick in right after the intro. Being by yourself really immerses you into the film, no distractions. This really only works with art house or small independent movies since the big hollywood movies usually have idiots who will talk the entire movie. Had one couple in front of me chat through the entirety of 2001 A Space Odyssey which was a shame because that movie has a lot of quiet parts. I learned that the guy was there on a tinder date and he picked this movie to see because he's a photographer that had to do an Eyes Wide Shut themed shoot the next day and he thought it would be similar because Kubrick did both films. I bet he was surprised when he did that shoot. Also one guy who looked like carrot top laughed really loud when Frank Poole fell silently through space for some reason. So if you really want to see a movie, just watch it at home or a small theater. But if you want to see hosed up weird people, go to the theater

Alamo Drafthouse has the right idea with having dumb grindhouse clips and silly youtube videos instead of ads. I actually WANT to show up early to see the weird poo poo.

The preshows at the Drafthouse are still pretty good, but they were a lot cooler back when they basically threw copyright to the wind and were clearly showing clips and things that were definitely not licensed. The Drafthouse used to do a lot of really fun but questionably-legal stuff, like showing popular TV shows the same day they aired (and without commercials). They kinda got around it by not actually selling tickets for the showing (since they made their money off the food and drinks), but eventually got enough cease & desists that they had to stop.

I beg to differ, what if it's like a weird remake of an older movie you like but haven't determined if you like enough to watch a modern day reimagining of like that one with tim curry as a clown that went from being a scary movie to being a post 2010 scary movie complete w/ jumpscares and cgi monsters doing twitchy cartwheels or w/e tf

The are parts that suck about reserved seatings such as you can't swap seats if there are annoying people until you're sure nobody has the seat you're moving to. This was a big problem when MoviePass was a thing. People would reserve a seat and then just show up whenever. The other is if you have any sizable group, you can't adjust your seats to sit together at the last moment. This one makes me mad. Try getting a group to go separately to a new movie. Nope, gotta order as a group now.

are you deranged enough that you spend days fuming over slight perceived annoyances as a result of existing in a shared space with other humans yet too much of a coward to actually confront anyone then come on down to the alamo drafthouse where our army of distracting squeaky-voiced teens are perpetually shuffling around bussing tables all movie long and are more than happy to let you live out your cop fantasies while you sip your $5 beer

The thing I hate about reserved seating is that the latecomers who used to just come in and sit in the corner now are walking around everywhere in the dark trying to read the seat numbers.
