    I haven’t been to a theater in years

    Clearly, cause now a days they have designated seating and actively displayed sales, so you can always sit exactly where you want, and go to show times with fewer people so you don’t have as many around. I’ve gotten the perfect seats in nearly empty theaters every time I’ve seen a movie for the last few years, and it’s always been an awesome experience.

      You know there’s nothing new about these things, right?

      🙄

      And having to choose when I go based on how busy it is is still an inconvenience because I don’t get to watch the movie when it’s convenient for me.

        I’ve never had it be inconvenient, just wait 2 or 3 weeks after release and most movie showings are pretty empty. It’s not like you can legally watch the movie at home at that point anyway.

          That last argument is worthless since not everyone cares to watch movies as they come out so it’s the viewing experience itself that needs to be compared, not the fact that both experiences can’t necessarily be enjoyed at the same moment in time.

            I was stating it as not a disadvantage of waiting 2 weeks for an empty showing. The viewing experience in a theater with an empty showing kicks the crap out of any home viewing experience.
