    They also started making everything reserved seating. I used to go spontaneously to the movie theater when I was bored. Then they started the erosion with the “luxury” theaters where they served food and drink to your seat, and then it became run-of-the-mill theaters that wanted you to pre-purchase tickets using fandango or whatever and select seating assignments before even arriving.

    I’m just not going to tolerate the same bullshit with the movies that I find barely tolerable to attend concerts and other live events. It’s not that great an experience. It’s a fucking movie. And nowadays, they’re usually streaming a week after theater release.

      disagree, reserved seating is the one good thing that has happened with cinemas in the last 20 years. completely saves you from having to arrive early to ensure you get a good seat.
