Yup, I LOVE the experience of going to the movies.

Go in the middle of the week after a workday and not on opening week. Literally you and maybe one other person. Or just don't go.

I rewatched some ridiculous comedy from the early 2000s on streaming the other day. I thought back to the days of seeing comedies in theaters and how fun it could be. It was an experience, laughing with strangers, getting out of the house, shared experience kind of thing. Idk. But I also miss going to Blockbuster so maybe I’m just NUTS

Depends on the movie and the crowd. If you can promise me a crowd that will react to the movie appropriately but otherwise SHUT THE FUCK UP, then I love the movies.

I’m not even that old, but at 32 I’ve basically limited myself to middle of the day movies where there are little to no other people there. Much better experience when there isn’t chatter in the background or worse yet, teenagers just dropping all pretense of being respectful of others experience.
