    I read the text but still don't get how they measured that people who say they love cinema didn't go.

      It’s about a feeling, not facts.

    I’m a cinema lover. I also have tinnitus. That’s why I don’t go to the theater. Go spend extra money on IMAX – the screen and the colors are carefully calibrated. The sound WAS until someone making $12 an hour dicked around with it because someone couldn’t hear the dialogue and now I get blown out of the movie theater.

    I digress.

    I can’t see going to a theater for a movie ever again.

    Live performance, sure, but I’ll watch movies at home.

    Will the cost of going to the movies ever be reasonable again?

    Ever read a take so far-fetched, bad and goofy that you don’t know where to even begin a line of attack? I can’t even critique this since the “reasoning” he used to get there is so hilariously off-base. Like… Hey owen didn’t present the “problem” properly, or even fully define it. Then author didn’t address the real players or conditions surrounding it. Then they didn’t come up with solutions or even come up with a definition of what a good movie should be. Didn’t say why “the need for studios to cut costs is real”… (That one, presented without basis, really pissed my off). He finishes this embarrasing writeup with…“audiences need to spend more money at the movies”.

    What? I dearly wish this guy would never write anything ever again so humanity might grow.

    Make movies I’m excited about seeing and have them in the theater for more than 12 seconds so I can actually schedule the trip and I’ll go. The theaters around me only post their times like 3-4 days in advance and by the time I see it the seating left is shit. I can’t plan around that. Also the last few movies I have gone to I’ve had people sitting around me that would not shut the fuck up. No one wants to listen to your stupid comments motherfuckers.
