Jasper, AL | Lost Revenue I imagine much of that alleged lost revenue is from people like me who don't care to attempt to watch a lack luster movie in a tiny box filled with tiny seats spaced so close my knees bang the seat in front of me and I get the pleasure of feeling the person behind me baning my seat. Arm rest so small one person can't enjoy them much less two people share one. Noisy, rude people unchecked by the staff. Rooms so small I feel as if my face is two inches from an all too small screen with a low quality surface. These establishments aren't worthy of the title "theater." I'm just not interested in paying money to view a film in an environment I can't enjoy. Bring back the large theaters with large, comfortable seating and turn out a decent movie if you want to see me back.
Five hundred percent mark up on candy bars, 1500 per cent on soft drinks. Don't get me started on the popcorn that has become spongy because they are too cheap to pop fresh and when they do they just leave the left over popcorn in the bottom to wilt. And what is that crap, uh, I mean *cough* butter *cough* that does nothing to improve the flavor but makes the popcorn soggy and lubes your fingers?
I also don't care to pay money for the opportunity to watch commercials. I'll tolerate them on advertiser sponsored networks. One would expect them there but I'm not paying to watch freaking commercials.
No joke here, I haven't been to a movie establishment (for lack of a name as they certainly aren't theaters) in around 15 years and I don't feel I'm missing anything. The movies end up showing up on my boob tube from some source, eventually. At home, the popcorn is fresh, cokes cost less than fifty cents, candy is seventy-five cents or less. Nice seating, no noise. Not as nice as the big screens once were but much nicer than the small screens are today. Quite frankly, when I see some of these films on the boob tube I think I'd be pissed if I payed to see them in a crappy environment. Hell, I know I would be for some of them.
