Go to Alamo Drafthouse theaters, they have no tolerance for that kind of shit

hype is for normies. You felt the repercussions. The people who sat near me luckily only spoke 2 or 3 times.

The movie wasn't that good and I'm so dissapointed that I got so excited for nothing. It had a lot of potential, but it didn't need to be funny and I felt that the clown could've been more scary. And I don't mean supernatural scary, I mean realistic, it could actually happen scary.

>that feel when I went and saw The Visitor (1979) at one of those
One of the greatest moviegoing experiences, ever.

You sound faggy.

>surrounding yourself with overpriced beer swilling hipsters that cut you off after two pitchers and only serve fucking beer anyway

I'll just sneak a flask in to a regular cinema and risk getting shot, thanks tho.

This entire first post sounds just like something my dad said a few moments ago to me about the reasons why I shouldn't go watch IT at the theatre.

>implying I buy shit from there
Movie food is shit

>people on their phones texting
This happened with me as well. What the fuck? The movie had great pacing and kept you entertained so how can you be on your phone...

>but it didn't need to be funny
Read the book holy shit the book has the kid's being a lot more funnier and it works much better with the blend of horror scenes and comedy scenes because the horror scenes were too short here

Only in america

that fucking vaping thing is actually real too, i would have thought it was a meme if i didn't experience it first hand myself a week or two ago

>watching annabelle: creation
>theater is kinda empty, i typically watch stuff late into its run for this reason
>keep getting this intense vanilla perfume smell
>there's some fucking turbo retard 3 rows down happily blowing vapor clouds into the air
>start getting another rich smell of chocolate
>look behind me and there's ANOTHER FUCKING VAPER HITTING THE FATTEST RIPS OF HIS GODDAMN VAPE THING
>I AM SURROUNDED BY THE VAPE NATION

never in my 24 years of living have i seen this shit happen before until i decided to go watch a horror movie at the cinema for once. what is it about horror movies that attract the vape crowd?

Can I just? I need to ask Sup Forums. The crab legs theater food meme. Was it a meme because it was pushed so hard, or did people understand how something you have to snap and crack with loud clangy metal tools and leave giant stinky shells would be one of the worst foods you could have at a movie theater?

my theater was ok but my falcon flew in the popcorn mines and i had to go down and get it. by the time i was back the movie was over

I think it is as much that as it is the ridiculousness factor of serving such a non-snacky, somewhat classy food at a theatre. In all fairness though, I would imagine that some of the dinner and movie theaters serve things that are almost equally as strange.

indeed! if you did that in sweden they'll ban you from coming back

Nah m8 niggers were a mistake.

xD me on the left :S

The room you sat in wasn't the problem user.The millennial teenagers sitting with you were the problem. God forbid you go see a Disney animated movie on opening night user. That's the kind of experience that helps turns someone into a terrorist.

I recommend midnight showings, or matinees during the week if you can manage. No more kids, no more edgy teens masturbating phones, tons of seats available, mostly adults and cinephiles in the room. It's day and night basically compared to your description. Midnight showings are an endangered species unfortunately.

If anything it's the multiplexes business model that is killing movie theaters globally. Maximization of benefits at the cost of the spectator's choices. Movies stay what 3 weeks on screen nowadays? Sometimes it's 2 weeks even. 5 showings a day for a 2 hour movie, a couple decades ago it was between 6 and 8.

It used to be different. Hell I can remember when Alan Parker's Evita was released in my city, only a single theater was exhibiting it. They were showing it in an extended version of almost 3 hours long, so evidently not a single multiplex picked on it. But that theater was sold out for months, only 2 showings a day, no other movie was there. They made it an event, something special that you couldn't see anywhere else. That theater kept showing Evita for a year and they made a hell of a business with it. A few years later when Titanic was released they did the same thing, and again made a killing selling out for months. But in this day and age such things have become nearly impossible to pull off. That theater is gone too. Now it's a Starbucks.

>UK
>Go and watch IT last night.
>Cinema is packed because opening week.
>Quite a few groups of teenage girls who are chatting whilst trailers are on.
>Couple sit down next to me and my friend.
>Everyone is quiet through the movie.
>Everyone laughs at the jokes.
>Jumpscares get a few small screams from girls.
>Everybody seems to be having a good, chilled time.
>Film ends and "IT: Chapter One" comes onscreen.
>Entire screen groans.

It's almost like these people had no fucking clue that only about half of the book was in the movie.

Or are people just tired of film studios stretching out a story over multiple films to make more money?

>watch a flick opening weekend
>surprised when every idiot thinks he's Tom Servo
you deserved it fag

Last time I recall when I pay to go to the cinema it's to watch the movie not listen to everyone else and deal with people texting. I could have stayed outside if I wanted that

>millennial teenagers
millennials are all like 30 now dude

>not going to the movie with a lot of friends and grabbing a quick feel of ur gf during the movie giggling through the whole thing

its just silly user...

>missed multiple plot points and have to wait until the movie comes out on blu-ray because people kept making noise

What's there to miss? It's a really straightforward movie, most of the dialogue was unimportant banter

Sorry to hear that OP. My theater was fine, just some of the older people laughing at the jokes. Which was fine - I talked to a dude after the movie and it was basically a nostalgia trip for him

>Not enjoying crowds
Sheltered manchild detected

I blame black culture that Hollywood and the Media encourages and spreads until whites and all sensible people partake in it. It's what ruined theaters and most things.

>Or are people just tired of film studios stretching out a story over multiple films to make more money?

I think this is true, especially after everyone hated The Hobbit. Also, though, I can see how the "chapter one" screen would feel like having the rug pulled out from under you as the marketing gave no indication that it was anything but a single film adaptation.

>tfw 5 babies were in the theater

>Black people sit near you

Instant guarantee your movie experience is going to be shit. Goddamn, all the stereotypes are true.
This also applies to busses and planes, and all other forms of transportation

I agree. American cinemas are fucking atrocious.

You can't follow a movie unless you follow every single plot point? Lol.

I bet you watch foreign language films with subtitles.

>Theaters were a mistake
no, people were a mistake

>mfw going to a small movie theater in a sleepy mall on the edge of my city that's almost always empty, even when movies like Star Wars recently come out

Maximum comfy.

Are american theaters really like this?

>go see movies on a Tuesday morning
>2 maybe 3 other people
>pure silence

no. the only thing ive read on Sup Forums regarding american movie theaters that is true is the clapping. Lots of people clap at the end of movies, and very occasionally it will happen during a movie (although ive only seen it during capeshit like avengers FWIW).

>"YOU'LL SHILL TOO!"

What are you talking about? My Alamo has treated me better then any other theater, shit two sodas and a popcorn are only 15 bucks that's cheaper then Cinemark

Doesn't matter how great a movie/tv/sporting event is.

Faggot millennials and gen z's will check their phones every 2 seconds.
