I hate movie theaters. I really hate them. I find them disgusting and raunchy. I know that most people love movie theaters but some people don't. Movie theaters are great in an essence, but just think of all the disgusting things that are there.
1. The food tastes like cardboard.
The only way that you can make the popcorn taste good is if you drown it in liquified butter. It's not even butter, it's an oil that has an artificial butter flavor. So you're just eating chemicals and trans fat. The nachos that you can get tastes stale, and the "cheese" to go alongside with it tastes like the cheese that you can squeeze out of a bottle. The only good thing would be the candy or the fountain drinks.
2. The movie seats are never clean.
Have you ever noticed that before you sit down you have to wipe it down with your hands or a napkin because there's popcorn on the seat? Well let me tell you...the seats are never cleaned, even the leather ones. They are just replaced every 10-15 years. So when you think about it...you could easily get sick, or even lice because lice love warmth, and would love to jump in your hair. Remember that next time.
3. Teenagers are nasty.
We've all been there during our teen years, where we go to the movies to make out, because our parents don't know that we've started kissing boys/girls at the age of 13. Well just going off experience, and not me of course but seeing it, teenagers also like to have sex in these seats. Especially the ones in the back corners of the dark theater. So next time if you hear something NOT coming from the movie, I would recommend not turning around.
4. Tickets are expensive now.
Tickets used to cost maybe 10 dollars when I was about 12 years old. Now that I am 18, they cost around 15 to 20 dollars for ONE TICKET. That's crazy. Especially for a college student. I would rather save that money for food, and wait until the movie is on Netflix, Hulu, or out in the stores. It's just not worth the cost, including when you add the "food".
I hope that this might help you take a better look at movie theaters the next time you want to go. I know it's gross but it's sadly the truth. Just remember that it is too expensive and not worth your time or money.
