I'm neat.
I guess this would go in this subforum so here it is. A thread dedicated to the wonders of movie theatres. In this thread feel free to describe any traditions you have when going to the theatre, any improvements you could make to movie theatres, anything at all about movie theatres.
My Traditions
Personally, I am not the biggest theatre enthusiast as I would much rather watch movies on On Demand, however I have a few weird tradtitons when going to the movie theatre. Firstly if I'm taking a girl to the movies I buy everything. And I buy tons of food and drinks and candies. It is this weird thing that I have to do. I feel that I need to provide copoious amounts of nutrition no-no's for whomever I am taking. If it is just me and one person a general snack could be three boxes of candy, a large drink (Ice Tea) and either a big thing of popcorn, or a small popcorn and nachos. I think this is the proper thing to do to enjoy the movie theatre.
Secondly I always sit in the last row. I feel that the last row gets you the greatest seating as well as allow you to do whatever you want without people really caring. Also even better than just plain old last row is having a seat by the stairs in the last row because you can stretch your feet. I think this tradition started back when I use to go to the movies with my family as my dad always suggested sitting in the very last row.
How to Improve Theatre
I would personally have themed movie theatres. I currently live by an Egyptian themed movie theatre and it really hypes up the overall experience of going to the movies. I think if all theatres stepped up their interior and exterior design then it would attract more people to come. Also movie theatres need to get cheaper. One of the biggest reasons I don't go to movies that often is because of the cost. If they were to get cheaper then I think more people would be inclined to go to the theatre.
What are your views on the movie theatre?
