Going to the movies is a punch in the dick .
snoot - nosed crying kidskin , $ 6 bottle of water , talkers , texters , and that one brace who hold open taking flash selfies during the emotional climax of The Force Awakens .
During the Amy Winehouse documentary film , in an almost empty dramaturgy , an open - mouthed eater sat decently behind me and somehow stretched his corner of popcorn over two hours . At the end of it , I was n’t think over on the perils of drug abuse , renown , and a natural - born talent ’s tragical death . I was think about how much I hated popcorn guy . How I hated his stupid grimace , his clothes , his friends , his conscientious objector - workers , his family members who did n’t teach him better .
Popcorn , man .
And coughing .
When I went to find out Birdman at the Landmark Sunshine Cinemas in Manhattan , Keanu Reeves materialise to walk in and sit correctly next to me . He was by himself , and at first I was like “ No shit , that ’s Neo ” ( In my head ) .
Then he cough through Birdman . All . The room . Through It . Did I care Birdman ? Do n’t know . Could n’t get word it . Sad Keanu .
Take a recondite breathing space .
This was all before yesterday , when AMC Entertainment ’s chief operating officer said the chain would consider set aside texting in cinemas to attract more young people .

A room full of diminutive glowing screens is exactly the opposite of what the dickery of New moving picture - going penury . And AMC Entertainment ’s CEO is too tardy anyway . We ’re already at the dawn of the post - cinema - going world .
Which is why we should all be really delirious about melodic theme like Screening Room , which would charge $ 50 to have you watch out new movies at home the same day they ’re expel in theaters .

You ’re hard - constrict getting out of a movie theater for under $ 50 these days , what with the ticket , imbibe , snacks , and if you ’re treating someone else . For the same price , you may skip dealings or public transit , line at the box office , shin for a seat , and putting up with back talk - breathers .
you could pause the movie to go to the bathroom . Microwave and eat Zea mays everta until you explode . belt down a cheap soda from the 12 pack in your electric refrigerator . Hell , sit au naturel with your cat for all anyone cares .
But what about the braggy covert ?
I boughtthis$373 projector on Wirecutter ’s testimonial years before I function here ( we have a partnership with Wirecutter ) . It ’s cheap , reliable , has good picture , and has never let me down . sore Max looked sick on this thing .
What about the social part of going to the motion-picture show and contract out of the house ?
Go to dinner . Go bowling . Paint some ceramic . Go do literally anything else that does n’t trust on trusting people in a confined outer space to be quiet and considerate .
What about the sweet audio ?
I ’m not a sound swot , buthow about this ?
What about the ambience of being in a theater where everyone is express mirth / frightened ?
Not worth it .
Why are you such a neurotic snot asshole about other people ?
I do n’t intend I am . I just eff movies and do n’t need to be distract . 🙁
