God I believe him. I went to the movies the first time in like four or five years a couple weeks ago. It's gotten so bad. Prices have doubled since I was there last. Just 30 minutes of ads after the lights got dark. Not trailers mind you ads. It was just a miserable experience.
Course the worst part was it was the Minecraft movie. I took my nephew to see it. Even he thought it sucked. God it was so bad.
It really was. I don't know how these absolutely terrible movies continue to be the movies that make the most money. Minecraft is literally one of the highest grossing video game movies ever, right behind The Super Mario Bros movie and is possibly going to surpass it. Are most humans really that fucking tepid and pedestrian? I guess so.
I had such high hopes but it’s barely about Minecraft. It’s Jumanji with square animals
Im very curious what was the theater chain you went to?
I’ve long felt that my own version of Hell is the Newark airport Delta lounge, but movie theatres are really pushing their way forward
