Fandango surveyed 7,000 adults — 5,091 of whom considered themselves moviegoers, or people who went to one or more movies in the past year.
This study is worthless. People who are willing to deal with all the bullshit theaters bring are likely to deal with it multiple times.
You should find a better theater, or a better time to go.
Monday - Thursday is best. You avoid all the crowds.Ads
Dumb, going to the movies is a luxury thing you only can afford living without kids or bills today. They will stop when older.
Maybe the rest of us are just old enough that we’re tired of seeing the same movies endlessly rehashed.
I’m 46. I go to the theater every week or so. There is plenty of new stuff. I check every week for whats new at my favorite spot. Anything that seems remotely interesting or different, I check out.
I just saw The Drama yesterday. It’s quite good I think.
I say I think, because my specific reaction to the inciting event of the drama, wasn’t what I think the filmmaker expected. Because my reaction was so different, I just didn’t empathize with most of the characters.But you all should definitely see it. In the theater if possible, so we get more different movies.
Yeah, I feel like I am the same way with theaters. There is so much great stuff out there, if you dare to look in smaller theaters and are willing to take a risk and enjoy movies on their own terms.
Some other movies, I saw recently which I really liked were “Love me tender”, “The chronology of water” and of course “Marty Surpreme” was also a fun thrillride.
I’ve also seen “The Drama” pretty recently, but it worked really well for me, I chuckled a lot while watching it. And I also could tell, that the other people in the theater really enjoyed it, which made me enjoy it even more.
But it’s a loaded subject, and I can understand if some people don’t vibe with that, especially if they have made experiences with something like that themselves. I luckily don’t live in America, so this is not as much of a reality to me, I guess. But I still liked that the movie still didn’t gloss over the subject, I felt like it dealt with it in a mature, but also humerous way.
I am curious, how did you react to the movie, that made you not enjoy it as much?
I immediately felt sorry for Zendaya’s character.
Instantly, I knew she had a rough time in school.If I were in that scene, I’d have given her a hug and congratulated her on getting through, becoming a great person. But all the other characters only had various levels of a problem with her. I spent the whole movie thinking someone would see it my way, but nobody did.
Yeah, I get that.
I mean, what she did was still pretty bad, just the fact that she was totally willing to do that, so I get the other peoples reaction.
I mean, the reaction of her one friend (I don’t remember her name), was a bit overblown, but she had pretty good reasons to (with her cousin and stuff).
I like, that she never tried to justify it in any way, she was like “Yeah, it was really messed up, and I can’t justify it”, but also she changed and grew, so she really regretted it. I think her problem was, that it is really hard to properly communicate how she has changed. And it would probably have been a better idea to talk to her partner about this and not all her friends.
And also her partner had a really hard time trying to accept this, he tried to justify it to himself. He should have been much more caring and supportive. I think he realized this towards the end.
