Being the price down and I'll consider going again
for me it's not even the cost of the movies themselves that's causing me not to go. it's the cost of everything else in my life that has been adding up, so unnecessary entertainment expenses like movies are an easy thing to cut back on. Maybe there is a lower threshold that would get me to go more, but it's probably not a realistic one.
also at home I have exactly the food and drinks I want at any time, I can pause for pee breaks, and I don't have to deal with any annoying people, ads, or trailers.
Yup, nothing is worth 20 bucks a ticket. Especially considering 3 weeks later you can 'rent' it for 5 bucks.
Especially considering everything is a reboot or a sequel now. I want some original movies again.
Yeah, bring back original movies like Hundreds of Beavers, Conclave, Memoir of a Snail, The Substance, A Real Pain, Babygirl, The Last Showgirl, I Saw the TV Glow, Challengers, Wicked Little Letters, Love Lies Bleeding, Origin, The Zone of Interest, The People's Joker, Kinds of Kindness, Poor Things, All of Us Strangers, The Holdovers, Anatomy of a Fall...
Did any of those appear in the theater, or are they all straight to streaming?
They all had theatrical runs AFAIK.
Crazy, I've only heard of two of those movies. I guess my ad blocker is working. Haha.
Thanks for the recommendations
A couple of them aren't out yet. A couple I missed, or they just didn't get theatrical releases here (Australia). Everything else, I Saw in the cinema. Anora, as well, hasn't come out here yet. The Brutalist. I could go on...
Or pirate for free and have a more pleasant experience.
Free market. Amiright?
