Nothing more disgusting than the sound of 100 people eating popcorn.

Also, movies are poorly done remakes, depravity, soft porn, sjw garbage.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77715188


Yeah, and all the fucking plastic bags that they open and crinkle each time they put their hand into the bag.
And movie theaters have a rotten smell, also.
And probably each seat has various infections you can catch from them.

I resolve not to go to a movie theater at ALL from now on, and this thread is encouraging.
 Quoting: Butch DeFeo


I don't watch movies with people it distracts from the movie sniffing or eating who the fuck eats when watching a fucking movie!

FUCK POP CORN!

What if they flicked a piece of their popcorn right into your mouth?

The NFL has huge ratings thanks to young Dynamic QBs such as Mahomes who don't take a political stance on anything. I think all but 1 or 2 kneelers are left in the League, and they no longer kneel if they want a paycheck.

I switched to video games. The avg Tom Clancy Division player is in their 40s, The second one in the franchise is a theory crafting game where you can make thousands of different builds. Then you test out your handiwork in PVP and PVE arenas and missions
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77568399


Cool! I tried XBox a few years ago, with Call of Duty, but found out that I can't sit and play games for long without feeling I want to get up and do things. With a movie, you can fall asleep and watch the rest of it later!
 Quoting: Butch DeFeo


Single player games are what you want then.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77844123


I'm amazed at the technology and graphics of games these days, however have almost no patience to play them, even one player games. You know the games where you walk around a room looking for a key, etc? No way I'm gonna do that! lol

What I play online about 4 times a day, is Scrabble, at 3 minutes per player. (sounds nerdy I know, but it is a different game when you play it super fast - it's an adrenaline rush, and I'm done with the whole game in 6 minutes)
 Quoting: Butch DeFeo


Thats what I like about Tom Clancy Division 2. The game is in your control. You can play for 10 minutes a day if you want or 8 hours, its up to you

I hate games as well where you have to find something to pass a level, like Zelda fantasy type games

Tom Clancy Division is totally in your control. You collect set pieces and mods with varying talents and then you test them out in a shooting range and in arenas. Various pieces have different skills like fire, explosives, weapon damage that increases as your armor goes down, or talents where you have more weapon damage when you fire first.

All the gear pieces and named weapons have fun names and some of them are very rare which increases the thrill of the hunt.

New update and new gear coming up too.

Since no one is publishing anything like a decent story, there are few decent scripts or movie ideas. Also years ago they decided their money makers would be hot chicks with guns. Many of us are not interested in that type of thing. The makers are sick jerks who love sick shit, many of us humans are not that way.

I actually write screenplays. And, recently, I paid for a professional evaluation of my latest, Christian-based work. I was bluntly told that in order for it to have any chance of being made, it would have to be rewritten with the lead character (a WOMAN) having a LESBIAN affair, complete with graphic sex, with another, specific, married other leading WOMAN CHARACTER.

So, there you have it. Unless you have loads of gay porn in your work, the agents, managers, and studios won't touch a script.

I would be mildly interested in seeing 1917. Other than that -- nothing.

No other grown-up movies that really caught my eye.

With us the reasons why we don't go anymore.
*Family of 4 tickets + concessions = $100.
*There's always a class clown who has to make wise cracks.
*There's always someone who can never put their cellphone away.
*Seats are uncomfortable, like airplanes aisles & sitting now.

Plus once a movie is out in theater, it's 60-90 days before we can rent it $5.99 or less OR buy it $17.99 or less & stream it.

Throughout last year, Americans purchased 1.244 billion movie admissions, which is five percent lower than last year and only a little higher than the number sold in 2017 — and 2017 is the worst year on record since 1995.

Ever since the Chinese started to buy up hollywood there hasn’t been hardly any block busters like the first Star Wars, Jurassic Park and other type movies. Originality has almost stopped and the best they can do now days are tons of remakes or a series of films based on a good first film like The Hunger Games. Films that make you think are practically long gone. Not surprised ticket sales have gone down.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77301947


They have to make remakes due to how rights are held in Hollywood. When you buy the rights to a property you are typically bound to make a movie within 5 years or else the rights revert back to the IP holder, typically a writer, author, or estate. So everything will always be remade every 5 years from here on out just because studios would rather make a shitty flop and maintain exclusive rights for another half decade than lose a potentially profitable property.

And they never hired back most of the writers after the strike so all the actual good screenplays are at least 10-15 years old now.

I think "suspension of disbelief" is a way overused phrase that people use to justify absolute shit writing and plot holes in movies, but in this case, it's warranted. They probably used the name "1917" because their focus groups showed it was a better name that 1916 or 1918 or whatever. Don't take it so literally :)

Good point.

A lot of US-based sociopolitical liberalism is due just as much to people in the entertainment industry - screenwriters, producers, directors, actors, actresses - wanting to stroke and caress their political feelings as much as what they think will sell well, be positively received or makes sense.

The left is one step away from making a character in the Star Wars franchise a pedophile.

I would have said that with full sarcasm not too long ago. Today? Just 75% pure sarcasm. As time goes by, that very easily may end up being 30% sarcasm.

 Quoting: CSnow:MV80MjQxNTExXzc3MTk4NDc0XzM3ODUwMDU


Yeah, except that the left doesn’t support pedophiles, especially not white guys who like underage teen girls. So you’re just spouting a bunch of propaganda bullshit. It’s true that the left can’t stop promoting gays, but they don’t support pedophilia. Give me one example of the left promoting pedophilia any time recently. I’ll wait.
