    I guess I’m lucky but I can count the number of bad theater experiences in my life on one hand lol.

    It really just boils down to preferring to watch movies at home. There’s nothing I watch that is made better by having other people around. The argument could be made for comedies, but they only drop like 1 a year in theaters these days and even then the laughing drowns out the next 10 seconds or so of dialogue so you wind up missing shit. Firmly team couch.

    I love seeing horror films in theaters, but I'm good with everything else at home.

    i love my couch, but i feel like i am more likely to distract myself with a cell phone or tablet sitting at home than i am in a theater. however, being able to pause something to pee instead of waiting for the perfect "i think....this will drag for a bit so i can leave for 3 minutes" scene.

    theres pros and cons, but i am happy to know all of yalls peeing habits.

    haha oh no really?! My greatest theater experience was Dawn of the Dead (04). The crowd was just absolutely bonkers in the best way possible.

    I one time got kicked out of a movie theater because some jackasses we knew from high school happened to be a few rows behind us throwing candy at us. The theater had like a zero tolerance policy for teenagers, even though it wasn't our fault. Got kicked out another time for laughing at a comedy because someone thought our laughing was too loud.

    I've never had a particularly bad time at a movie theater, but I feel like I prefer to go to the theater only for "spectacle" type films where the larger screen will heighten the experience.

    I like to sit in the middle, third row, lie back, and let the movie engulf me. And typically the rest of the audience is behind me, so I can just pretend they all don't exist.

    I need a better home theater set up, likely just secondary sound system aside from TV before I feel like my home experience is better than theater. Pre-covid I loved going to the movies, I was there once a week, but people are getting shittier each time. Makes me want to invest more into my home set up.

    Anyone have good sound systems they love?

    I got a Panasonic sound bar and a sub in Feb and it’s great. Nothing super fancy or complicated

    Come to think about it, I saw all these movies in theaters even though they were available for streaming around the same time:

    Roma
    The Irishman
    Marriage Story
    Space Jam: A New Legacy
    The Suicide Squad
    The Many Saints of Newark
    Dune (I feel like i'd hate this at home. But in theaters, wow)
    The Power of the Dog
    King Richard
    The Matrix Resurrections
    Don't Look Up

    I think the only 2 that I regretted were Space Jam and DLU.

    Roma, The Power of the Dog, and The Irishman in particular felt like movies I went and saw and had a great experience, and then people at home said were boring. I'll give you Roma but c'mon Power of the Dog & Irishman I found exhilarating.

    Matrix Resurrections another one that got dumped on, but that was one of my most deeply cherished films of 2021 and an incredible theatrical experience with a game crowd (and meanwhile I found NWH which I saw a few days before to be super annoying)

    My sensibilities don't match up with the public anymore.

    Made it halfway through last night and noticed/enjoyed a lot more than my theater experience. Plus I did get up to go pee right when Bats first gets to the iceberg lounge so I missed that whole fight scene lol

    On the curve of comic hero/Batman films this is top tier. Robert is a great Bruce Wayne so I’m glad he shut a lot of people up about that, him and Dano are always great. It’s wild that the most common complaint I’ve heard is that there isn’t enough action when this movie had like 10 action sequences and they were all well done lol. I actually found myself wanting more detective stuff and less goon fighting.

    Like I'm pretty well versed in the Batman mythos but this feels weird just being thrown in with little to no background knowledge of anything going on. I don't need the whole origin story thing but this just feels strange
