Not going to cinema means saving lots of emotional pain created by the actual cinema experience:

  • Ads

  • More Ads

  • Trailers

  • 20 minutes of that shit (despite paying for the movie!), movie finally starts. Now this happens:

  • People talking during movies

  • People watching phone during movie

  • People eating candy (loudly) during movie

On top of this, what are the odds the movie will be good? I think ive been disappointed by almost every movie this year, so thank god i didnt watch them in a cinema.

Modern cinema is an elongated television episode. The era where it made sense for many people to congregate to watch a film like a theater play ended long ago. Now TV is best seen alone or with friends (or family)

I should point out that the cinema experience used to be better. People have become more selfish.

Also, it heavily depends on the kind of movies you're watching. Trash attracts trash.

Yeah people think its confidence to act like shit in public.

Which often results these same people to think that polite or nice people are weak or don't pose a threat. Which can be a very stupid mistake to make.

Yeah. People have been surprised many times when my patience finally runs out. :) Sounds like the same for you.

You're right, that was my understanding too.

Why pay $15 a ticket just for that shit?
