They also started making everything reserved seating. I used to go spontaneously to the movie theater when I was bored. Then they started the erosion with the "luxury" theaters where they served food and drink to your seat, and then it became run-of-the-mill theaters that wanted you to pre-purchase tickets using fandango or whatever and select seating assignments before even arriving.

I'm just not going to tolerate the same bullshit with the movies that I find barely tolerable to attend concerts and other live events. It's not that great an experience. It's a fucking movie. And nowadays, they're usually streaming a week after theater release.
