I have long been a staunch defender of the theater."You just have to go between 11am and 3pm for the matinee pricing! It's totally affordable.""You need to wait at least a week after release so it's not so crowded.""You just have to download an extra app on your phone and pre-purchase your tickets to get a better deal.""You just have to bring your own candy." I've realized that these hoops I'm jumping through seem small to me because I love seeing movies in theaters so much, but to the average person who was already on the fence about going to the theater.. I can see how this becomes too much. Then I start to see the other cracks as well.The popcorn is worse.. and you have to buy so much of it. We purchased the smallest size at Deadpool/Wolverine and it was still a massive bucket that we threw away half of. This isn't the theater's fault, but people seem to have lost their theater manners. The amount of people playing on their phones was frustrating, and kids running around the aisles doubly so. The amount of ads before a movie are getting insane. I feel like there were three trailers, and about 10x the ads. And lastly.. The cheap pleather they line the otherwise comfy recliners with at my local theater chain makes my butt sweat in an otherwise chilly theater. I have a feeling that Nolan isn't going to watch too many films at his local AMC..</blockquote>
