GPFontaine The cost is too high
Ermac: That depends, there are 10 dollars movie theaters here but also 2 dollar second run ones as well
GPFontaine: Not where I live. When they used to exist they were shit theaters with crappy projection, sound, and seating.
Ermac-They tend to be worse but not a huge difference from the first run ones,still its 2 dollars for 2 hours of entertainment

3. Cell phones
Ermac: Yeah that can be annoying, but I have noticed alot of people have gotten better about this
GPFontaine: The fuck they have. I have been to 4 movies over the last two years, every fucking one had some asshole with a retarded ring and at least 2 others who were texting with their ultrabright nightlight screens.
Ermac- Well since I have said that i haven't noticed it I will suddenly start to notice it now Very Happy


4. Loud popcorn eaters
Ermac: I have never heard that to be honest
GPFontaine: You are deaf.
Ermac-what? Wink

5. Talkers
Ermac: Usually kids or ethnics and that depends when you go and see it and what part of town
GPFontaine: The rich theaters don't have this problem as often, but 3 out of the 4 last movies I have seen have been plagued by these ghouls.
Ermac-it just depends on what movie I guess when it comes down to it


6. Requires travel to get to
Ermac: True, but so does going to the local Blockbuster Very Happy
GPFontaine: Local video stores are closer for me and I would imagine this is true for most people. Theaters aren't as abundant as rental stores.
Ermac- True, but you dont have to go back and return shit

7. Good seat not guaranteed
Ermac: Opening weekend, never, but if you go to the pre 7 and 10 showing you can usually get a good one
GPFontaine: Guaranteed means guaranteed, not MOSTLY guaranteed.
Ermac-It just depends on what movie is coming out and how big a franchise the movie is

8. Lines to get tickets
Ermac: longest i have ever had to wait for tickets was like 10 minutes, and that was a theater that just opened, edit i waited 30 for episode III
GPFontaine: Dude, where the fuck do you live that you don't have these problems? East bumblefuck? I live in the north east, I was in Boston and now am in Central Connecticut. There are line on Friday Night, Saturday, Saturday Night, and Sunday.
Ermac- Growing up in Memphis with a area population of about 1 million


9. Mandatory previews
Ermac: That part of the fun of going to the movies Razz
GPFontaine: Some of them. I hate horror movies and I really hate seeing previews for them. If I am not in a horror movie, I don't want to see previews for one.
Ermac-Does it really annoy you that bad, usually my friends like to say "ah that movie aint going to make shit, or that movie is stupid" and make sly remarks like that


10. Very full or busy parking lot
Ermac: yeah, but not like at a sporting event
GPFontaine: How often do you go to sporting events? When I lived in Boston I would take public transportation and be crowded like a sardine in the train. Worse, when I was just moving around the city, the sporting events would cause mad rushes to the trains even if I wasn't attending the game. Still... this has nothing to do with a movie. When I go to a movie on the weekend the parking lot is crowded. I'm not saying it is a complete deterrent, but it is not fun.
Ermac- I am beginning to think you are antisocialite GP

11. No pause button
Ermac: yeah, sometimes your gottta pee and you miss a good scene
GPFontaine: Sometimes you have to slap the shit out of some kid who was talking during a good scene and you wish to god you had a rewind button for that climactic scene you just had ruined. Or you have to pee.
Ermac- I have gotten to the point where I can pee and be back in 3 minutes tops

12. Can't watch in just your underwear
Ermac: true, but who does that unless they are home sick?
GPFontaine: Me. I am not homesick. I live at home with my wife. Watching movies in underwear is awesome. If you haven't done it, I suggest it. It is fucking sweet.
Ermac- next time i go to the movies I will try this, and I meant at home sick;as in at home in the bed with violent diarrhea

13. Dick in a popcorn box won't get you arrested at home
Ermac: I have taken dates to the second run show and been in the back getting a blowjob and I have nevr had any issues
GPFontaine: I have actually never had any form of sexual encounter in a theater. Thank god. There is nothing about that type of situation that turns me on. When I go to a movie I want to see, I want sexy time before it or after it, not during.
Ermac- Well i like sexy time before,during, and after

14. The quality of movies has gone down significantly.
Ermac: I agree on that
GPFontaine: Bullshit. There have been tons of great movies that have come out over the last decade. Just because there are a ton of shit ones doesn't mean that the good movies aren't there. The Lord of the Rings movies really let you down? Really?
Ermac- I am not into LOTR or HP or even Spiderman or Dark Knight, I refuse to get into any movie people say I am suppose to like outside of Star Wars

Fuck, you know I thought this was going to be an intelligent discussion and not Ermac versus GPF in a game of moronic Forum Tennis. Some people just don't like to go to the movies. They are less convienient. There are services such as Netflix that deliver to your mailbox. People have less money and are trying to cut costs and entertainment usually isn't a high priority. GP doesn't like to go out to movies. You do. Different strokes for different folks. What other reasons do you need? Thread over.

We are both morons when it comes down to it Very Happy


Some people just don't like to go to the movies.

Thats fine, I have alot of good memories going to movies but I guess people prefer home entertainment, thats fine. I just like getting out of the house if nothing else

They are less convienient.

I would rather go to the movies than blockbuster,but netflix trumps the theater

People have less money and are trying to cut costs and entertainment usually isn't a high priority.

People have less money but entertainment is still a priority to people at the end of the work week, wheter it be the theater,camping or the Wii

GP doesn't like to go out to movies. You do.

I know, i was just being difficult, alas a FlyingJew type convo that he use to intigate around here

Different strokes for different folks. What other reasons do you need

His reasoning isn't better than mine, nor is mine better than his, I will accept that but most peoples reasons had more to do with laziness it seems
