Do you live in the sticks or what? Tickets are $15 and every theater I've been to since COVID has been clean.

I took my kid and his friend to see Deadpool, the first one. That was my last time for me.

They could offer a better experience, something that would draw me, but they're not even close to matching what I have at home for now. And, maybe they couldn't do it profitably anymore, I don't know.

Twenty years from now, movie theaters will only be left in big cities, that have enough people nearby to support them. But, even then, they'll need to change what they do.

I’m with you. I feel a bit bad because my husband loves (or loved) the experience of going to the movies, whereas I couldn’t care less and would prefer my couch. But we used to go because he enjoyed it, and it was nice to avoid spoilers for big things. Nowadays between having kids and the overall experience of movie-going having completely gone down the shitter and more expensive to boot, we don’t go anymore. And I don’t really miss it. He goes out sometimes with his buddies to see a movie, and I’ll tell him if there’s something he has to wait to see with me (Dune is the only thing recently).

So you moan about lack of originality, but don't support independent film, either? You're just part of the problem.

just keep posting to writing prompts till I have enough for a book, who needs ai when I can coast off of free labour, then again I'm not sure I could be a judge on what makes a good story
