Will you miss the big theaters?

No, I won’t miss them. I haven’t been to a cinema in years, ever since people forgot how to behave in them.

I'd rather see a tacobell with a huge parking lot turn their venue into a drive in theater. We actually have a drive-in we go to in the St. Louis area, Belleville, Ill. to be exact. You have to bring a radio to hear the soundtrack, but sometimes that just gets in the way. 
Our church used a cheap little radio transmitter to broadcast service to the parking lot. I'm certain the technology exists, I was just surprised, with the burgeoning death of theaters that we haven't seen more pop up. At the very least, I would have expected the local AMC and other theaters with big brick walls, big parking lots and the rights to display the movies already in hand to just cordon off an area and start making money on their empty parking lots.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Last movie I saw at a theatre was Rise of Skywalker.
Dying to live, living to die.
Please don't laugh but I kind of demand to view movies the way they were originally intended: through a coin-operated peepshow with communal earbuds.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Now you have to pay for HBO, HBO+, Hulu, Amazon prime, PBS all access, Disney+, Netflix... and when these new movies that were announced to come out on these streaming services at the same time that they are in theaters, you'll have to pay separately to watch them like it was the case with Mulan. This is the way.
No God, No fear.

Negative. I rarely ever went to the theater. Most modern films are just shit.

It's isn't the quality of the films that puts me off, it's the behaviour of the patrons. People have come to think that merely because they 'paid to get in here' and bought a box of over-priced Raisinets that they somehow have the right to yammer away all during the film as if they were at home in front of their own telly.

LOL. Boss Lady and I went to "Rise of Skywalker" on a weekday afternoon and were the only two people in the theater. We commented freely.
