Yeah, for me, it's definitely the aging bladder category. That, and I am not so much of a film buff that I will pay a lot of money to see it in theaters. I like theaters, but there's not a lot of movies I wanna see on the big screen nowadays.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, is that why the action scenes look the way they do? I've never been impressed with them, but it makes slightly more sense if you're supposed to be looking at them from the perspective of an ant, as opposed to going "that ... is another busy, cluttered, loud scene with things zipping every which way. I guess it's supposed to be exciting. If so, it is dramatically failing to be exciting."

But I can't really blame age. These scenes fell flat with me even as a teenager.

Tbh, OP, I haven't been able to bring myself to go to a theatre since 2019 (I might have gone one time after lockdown lifted, but I can't remember). It used to be a special thing for me, and big crowds were never an issue since I'd plan days off to see movies (instead of using PTO for something like an overseas trip like a normal human). But now nothing jumps out at me as particularly interesting, especially if it means I'll be sitting for 2 or more hours.

Oh well. Maybe one day I'll find something worth going to the theatre for again.

[(Anonymous)]

I remember not being impressed with Independence Day because I didn't see it on the big screen. But there have been plenty of action movies that are still impressive on the small screen. My particular faves: T2, Snowpiercer, and Fury Road.

[(Anonymous)]

Mostly same. Audiences are getting more inconsiderate and honestly, most movies are out on BR/DVD/whatever within the same year, and I can wait to see them. For the price of two people to see the movie, I can own a permanent copy.

[aplacetowrite]

Gods do I feel you on the time commitment thing. I will end up sitting down for two hours of episodes, but trying to get me to commit ahead of time to a movie of the same length is a losing battle. And then a movie theater is even longer with all the trailers etc.

I do enjoy seeing a few specific movies in the theater (I've seen all the newer Star Wars and Deadpools, for example) but for the most part I am meh on the theater. Expensive, people coughing and chomping, the theater seats hurt my hips and back, and the time commitment. Old and crochety club for us!

[(Anonymous)]

For what it's worth, I miss movie theaters being more fun. I really dislike feeling like the theater is damaging my hearing with the soundtrack volume, and how bad most actors seem to have gotten about enunciating. I legit have a better experience at home, where I can mute the giant explosions and scenes that are basically just people screaming, and add subtitles any time I want.

[(Anonymous)]

Theatres are so expensive these days, it's a rare movie that's worth watching on the big screen, regardless of if it would be better on it or not.

[(Anonymous)]

I've always had an issue making it through an entire movie without having to go to the bathroom partway through, so nothing has changed about that for me (I sometimes make sure I haven't had anything to drink for a couple of hours beforehand and don't get anything to drink during, but I mostly accept the probability that I will have to get up and go at some point). What actually makes me pause is my knees. I don't know what it is about those seats, but my knees almost always ache after a movie - maybe I just hold myself more tensely and still. I only go nowadays is if I really want to see a new movie and I want to see it with an audience.

I like action sequences on both small and large screens, but then action is my favorite genre and I know will sometimes put up with a lot because of that.

[(Anonymous)]

I watch tons of movies but I will get through a film in multiple sittings more often than not. I still go to the theater but I would go more often if we had intermissions.

[(Anonymous)]

For me, it was my only local movie theatre making all the parking 3 hours and enforcing it. What the hell? So the last thing I saw in the theatre was Black Panther (the first one) and I've never gone back. All the other stuff factors in too, but I'm not going and moving my car in the middle of a session (which can easily be 3 hours once you factor in parking, previews, ads and a 2 hour plus movie.)

I quit going with the pandemic and never got back into it, but I also got a secondhand projector I can hook up to my laptop and point at a white wall, and that's a much nicer experience anyway imo.

This is really beautiful to me. I’m sorry you regret the secret so much, I’m sure it didn’t bother anyone that much. And I’m so glad you found solace in the music.

"This is Us" had the opposite problem: The POV characters had information that the writers tried to be cute in continually concealing from the audience. It was like Lucy and Charlie Brown with the football. I ended up giving up because it pissed me off so much.

High five, OP! I'm having a lot of fun watching it too.

This was my mom, lol. Asking her to teach me to cook as a kid was mostly fruitless because every recipe would be a list of ingredients then instructions to "use enough" of each and criticism along the way when my random blind guesses were unsurprisingly wrong.

Taught myself to cook, am pretty good at it now despite no real instruction, turns out what I deem enough is always too spicy/salty/flavorful for her. Welp.

It's okay, anon. For a while, I thought Homestuck was pronounced "Homestruck." It's just that one little extra letter that is somehow magically tucked away.

Big same. I've been coming to FS since way back in the non-numbered wild comments day sin LJ. I'll take a break now and then, but it always makes me so happy when I decide to check back in and I see it alive and kicking. I don't have many fandom community anymore, so this place is filling that void for now.

I wish there was some award we could give Case for keeping this place going. It's got to be the longest continuous community I've ever been a part of, and I am thankful and impressed.

I kind of wish I had not deleted my accounts so I could come back as my old names, but at this point I don't even remember them.

The Theater

[(Anonymous)]

What movies, if any, do you think are worth it to see on the big screen?

I was happy I saw the D&D movie in the theater, but that's the only recent one I can think of. I wish I had seen Jurassic Park in the theater back in the day.
