I never particularly liked movie theatres. But it's gotten so much worse. People just talking over the movie, being on their phones, taking selfies, leaving all their garbage behind. I don't understand people who say that they like the movies for the "atmosphere" when i see these videos of disney fans flipping out whenever a super hero does the thing that make idiots cheer, i just don't see it. I don't miss it a bit.

I finally have a semi decent setup at home where it's quiet, I can fully envelope myself in the movie, and I have better snacks. I don't know why I would want to go out to an AMC or some other cheap theater to have a worse experience.

Now, there is a local theater who focuses on actual films I go to, like I saw the Brutalist there, but they actually enforce the rules, and they aren't going to show the new spiderman. So it's actually a pleasant experience
