What movies are you watching?

[Orpheus]

Go to the theater. That is how movies are meant to be consumed.

-Inside Out (2015) / (The praise this is getting is absurd; it's super straightforward (and often manipulative). Basically visualization/defamiliarization for dummies.)

1. This definitely had a "you have to be a parent to understand" feel to it.

2. Having said that, you're right. The film had its moments, but overall felt very forced and rushed at times.

So you just hated it because you were touched inappropriately?

No, but I sure hated the people behind for scream-laughing through the whole movie.

I hate people near me in a cinema. An almost empty screening is perfect for me.

The "communal experience" point people always try to make about seeing a movie in theaters is such BS.

Last time we were at the movies, a young man near us would say "Fap! Fap! Fap!" every time a woman came onscreen.

My breaking point was about 7 yrs ago and in a packed theatre there was someone eating a kebab next to us and in front a guy had a six pack with some fish and chips. WTF?

Wow. I love going to the movies, but the so-called "communal experience" is the single biggest discouraging factor.

[LetMeSleep]

People are the worst.

[Orpheus]

This is why I love the Drafthouse. You can see movies with a theater full of people and they actually behave.

One of my most shameful moments was going to a movie completely drunk, dropping an empty wine bottle, and then hearing it roll down every step very very loudly all the way to the bottom. It seemed to take forever.

I'm not proud of that, but looking back its kinda funny.

Wait, Love & Mercy has 89% (and 92% audience score) on RT? That surprises the hell out of me. I thought it was a pretty wonky movie. I thought with such interesting characters and such a fascinating story that a better movie should have come out of it.

I loved Paul Dano's performance while at the same time feeling that John Cusack took me out of the movie as I was very aware that he was not Brian Wilson.

Agreed.

Remember that VH1 Beach Boys movie? Holy hell was that bad.

But at least it had all that Manson Family stuff in it.
