First off, I'm not saying that I hate the movies. I love going to watch my favorite movies, it's the movie theaters that make the experience bad. Now I haven't been to the movies in a while but 2017 decided that last year was pretty bad so they're making it up to me by putting out a good twenty movies for me to go see this year. So the theaters are definetely going to be getting my money. I've been to the theaters twice already and I remember why I hate going to the movies
Long Lines
I get that we all want to go see this movie but you don't have to get there two hours early and start a line that leads to the parking lot. This is why I could never do midnight premieres.
Insane Prices
Thirteen dollars for a movie ticket! This is the reason why people are doing bootlegs. They rip us off with these unbelievable prices once you hit adult status. Not even the student discount makes it any less expensive. I don't go to see movies until mattinae Tuesdays where I only have to pay four dollars.
Expensive Popcorn
I remember when a jumbo popcorn and soda combo was only five dollars when my mom took me to see Finding Nemo. Fourteen years later and you basically need to take out a loan to go to the movies. I gotta sneak in my own food than pay fifteen dollars for a small popcorn and Sprite.
Hunting for seats
Let me tell you the struggle trying to find a seat. They're aren't as great as the massage chairs at the mall but they've upgraded the past couple of years. But having to hop over legs and fight for the armrest isn't fun.
The People
I'm not a petty person but people can be really annoying at the movies. I don't want to hear you spoiling the movie or you complaining about why the guy on screen is is jumping off a building. It's fine to laugh but it's not Saturday Night Live.
Cell Phones
I know the mini previews at the movies telling you to turn off your phones is annoying but so is seeing a bright screen pop up in front of me in the dark. I get you're an important person but your notifications can wait until after the movie's over. Don't be that person who ruins it for everybody.
