The only thing that sucks is the audience. Quit your job, get wellfare, and go to 10am showings and the like. Your view on theatres will change drastically. It's not the theatres that are the problem, it's the fucking human beings, wrecking our existence. Reed, I know we agree on this. The theatre is the best experience.

It’s not the theatres that are the problem, it’s the fucking human beings, wrecking our existence. Reed, I know we agree on this.

And it does feel like you're taking part in a cultural event that's more tangible than watching the movie at home. I do agree that certain films are not conducive to a raucous audience. But I think some definitely are, and I've had plenty of movie experiences throughout the years that were enhanced by the loud, chatty audience: Beavis and Butthead, Final Destination 2, Soul Plane ... Reed,

Is that true? I suppose I could do an Internet search, but I won't know who to believe. I think Ebert should have kept his hands to himself. Theatres are the worst places to see movies. That's why I wait for movies to come out on DVD so I can watch them in the comfort of my own home. If everyone stayed home, maybe movies would come out on DVD right away when they open. I know Ebert is one of those people that says movies should be seen on a big screen. Try sitting three feet away from the television. Now that's a big screen. And some people say that movies should be enjoyed with the company of other people as part of the movie-going experience. Hogwash! Audience members are just annoying. Who's with me on this?

But most of the movies were playing at older theatres that definitely don't have stadium seating. The new AMC theatre had some screenings, and that has stadium seating.

I don't think I can fully enjoy the theater experience if the seats can't recline and the people right in front of me can't be seen. I guess we are bit spoiled down here at our theaters.
