This only works for people who value special effects over story telling, glad it works for you. For me having paid to see another soulless blockbuster on the big screen just irritates me, as I wish I’d have stayed home and saved the $30.

Last one was the second Venom film, kid beggggged me to see it, so I took him. He thought it was as boring as I did though, so I didn’t even get to feel good for taking my kid to a movie he enjoyed lol.

It was so fucking terrible it felt like a parody of the original. It was impressively garbage.

Movie was complete dogshit

i am 6 minutes in and its absolute cringe indeed, like LAUGHABLY bad

like a unqualified amateur was tasked to re-enact the universe kinda bad

wtf was that moan from the black agent during his 3 meter high fall ?

total garbage as expected, even fights where fucking terrible...literally 0/10

Wait a second, I pay at most like 8-10 bucks per movie unless it's in Imax. And to say "This only works for people who value special effects over story telling" is pretty funny and doesn't completely make sense.

Venom is a good example of what I mean. At home it would have been like eh, but in the theater's for me it was enjoyable. Just because the story is not on point doesn't mean you can't admire other aspects of the film. Or even the work Hardy put into the role. For 10 bucks it's well worth it for me - unless you get unlucky and get annoying people watching it with you. That's rarely happened to me in the past couple years.

Also 100% I've had some comedy/horror movies where the other people in the theater made it more enjoyable and fun/funny. It's like a totally different atmosphere.

" For me having paid to see another soulless blockbuster on the big screen just irritates me,"
You have to enjoy the other aspects Like I said I love watching/paying attention to other aspects of a film. The average bloke probably doesn't.

The theater I go to is amazing. Every seat is like a lazeboy recliner, super comfortable. The theater is always really clean cuz the community cares and Canada so more respect in general. It's all reserved seating, no general admission at all, which honestly what are theaters doing still having general admission.

Regular ticket is $15.75, Laser Ultra w/ atmos is $19.69 and 3D is $17.69.

So 12-16 USD.

Laser is totally worth it from a viewing experience stand point. Still it gets really expensive if you want to invite someone or have popcorn.

I usually go to Cineplex so I've never seen Laser yet! Seems like it's similar pricing to Imax/Ultra avx. And if you're in the us you can see movies for a lot cheaper with the AMC A list. If that's still a thing?
Cineplex has CineClub which saves a few bucks here and there, but not nearly as good as AMC's program.

Guessing you're in BC?

What kind of animal doesn’t get popcorn and a drink when they go to the theater?

99/100 times an audience makes comedies/horror/or even action films worse. There’s always that idiot that laughs overly loud at everything, but they’ll laugh even more loud at the jokes from the trailers and always like a fraction of a second before the punchline even lands. It’s the same for all action blockbusters now (aka any superhero shit), since they just load those films with mediocre humor.

I have a good enough setup at home and aside from something fucking epic, like whatever Nolan is working on, it’s not worth the irritation and price that comes with it.

I’m glad you enjoy it, but stupid people don’t ever make a mediocre movie good, or a bad movie mediocre for me. It’s not as easy as just “enjoy the other aspects” as the aspects that you enjoy, are the exact aspects that annoy me. I don’t need others to tell me when to be scared or when to laugh and the feelings of random strangers don’t resonate with me. No problem that we go about shit different my man, it just takes more for me.

Finally finished setting up all my kids shit for the morning and I’m burnt as fuck, so time to pass out. Merry Christmas everyone and I hope you all have a great holiday!

Don’t look Up on Netflix was solid fyi.

I've always heard Americans are really loud, and especially annoying and disrespectful in a movie theater.

Like yelling at the movie with popcorn everywhere and sticky floors? Sticky? Floors? Crazy.

Maybe it's the place I go but I've never had experiences like that. Lately I've been going later at night as well so the theater has like 10 people which is great. Also with the seats you can lift up the center arm so it's more like a couch, so I see people bring blankets and cuddle which is super cute.



The theater I go to now is like a 5 year old landmark. It's super high quality. I remember going to a landmark a really long time ago and it was trash, but they have really stepped up their game. Also I think it's slightly less expensive that Cineplex. The popcorn is also better imo.

As for the other part, it's currently -35 so I think that answers enough.
