- Comment on Why do bikes have a solenoid? 3 days ago:
If you’ve ever seen a spaceship show or movie (Star Trek or Star Wars) where control consoles explode, you understand why solenoids are used for high power controls.
- Comment on New Posters for ‘Superman’ 4 days ago:
That’s just a normal style for movie posters.
- Comment on New Posters for ‘Superman’ 4 days ago:
Because there are only a couple of dozen stories at all?
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
Everything.
What’s the alternative? Nothing?
That seems way more booring. - Comment on The U.S. Copyright Office’s Draft Report on AI Training Errs on Fair Use 1 week ago:
This would be interesting.
That would mean if you are training an AI model at home, you can copy any movie show or music you want, legally. - Comment on Where is the best place to address specific issues with Lemmy across all instances? 1 week ago:
Still sounds more like a browser problem. Have you tried different browsers?
- Comment on Where is the best place to address specific issues with Lemmy across all instances? 1 week ago:
The answer to your direct question, I don’t know.
But the issue you’re having seems more a browser thing to me. It’s the browser that warns you if you try to leave a page with an uncompleted form or text box.

I am too excited for this.
- Comment on AMC Theatres Quarterly Losses Hit $202.1 Million After Box Office Got Off to Rocky Start 2 weeks ago:
That makes sense, when the idea to spend time unplugged in your dream destination.
But it doesn’t make sense, unless the expensive first class ticket is the only ticket.
- Comment on AMC Theatres Quarterly Losses Hit $202.1 Million After Box Office Got Off to Rocky Start 2 weeks ago:
I’ve always said, you get a 100% discount on what you don’t buy.
- Comment on AMC Theatres Quarterly Losses Hit $202.1 Million After Box Office Got Off to Rocky Start 2 weeks ago:
None. It’s just wrong when people complain about the cost, and roll in all the optional snacks and stuff as though they just automatically have to buy them.
- Comment on AMC Theatres Quarterly Losses Hit $202.1 Million After Box Office Got Off to Rocky Start 2 weeks ago:
Absolutely agree
- Comment on AMC Theatres Quarterly Losses Hit $202.1 Million After Box Office Got Off to Rocky Start 2 weeks ago:
It is ridiculous. But the logic is the same. Which shows the flaw in the logic.
- Comment on AMC Theatres Quarterly Losses Hit $202.1 Million After Box Office Got Off to Rocky Start 2 weeks ago:
The extra popcorn and candy was always overpriced even in the 80s. That’s why I never got any as a kid. Nothing has changed. Ticket prices have even pretty flat for a decade now.
- Comment on AMC Theatres Quarterly Losses Hit $202.1 Million After Box Office Got Off to Rocky Start 2 weeks ago:
If it’s only a few times a year (or once every few years), then the expense shouldn’t be worth complaining about. That truly is a special event.
- Comment on AMC Theatres Quarterly Losses Hit $202.1 Million After Box Office Got Off to Rocky Start 2 weeks ago:
Do you make the same argument complaining on the expense of a vacation “experience”, while insisting on buying first class tickets and staying at 4&5 star hotels?
- Comment on AMC Theatres Quarterly Losses Hit $202.1 Million After Box Office Got Off to Rocky Start 2 weeks ago:
You can skip the snacks. They aren’t required.
Your total could have been $53.04.
And you might have been able to skip the convenience fee if you got the fix at the theater directly. Some times they still have an extra fee. - Comment on AMC Theatres Quarterly Losses Hit $202.1 Million After Box Office Got Off to Rocky Start 2 weeks ago:
Tickets around the US range from $9-16 typically.
A few high end markets or “special thearters”, they can be over $20. - Comment on AMC Theatres Quarterly Losses Hit $202.1 Million After Box Office Got Off to Rocky Start 2 weeks ago:
That’s only because your kids have the expectation now.
If you make it abundantly clear before you get to the theater, there won’t be any snacks; Then when they complain, take them home. They’ll know you’re serous next time, and it won’t be a problem.
- Comment on AMC Theatres Quarterly Losses Hit $202.1 Million After Box Office Got Off to Rocky Start 2 weeks ago:
There is exactly zero reasons to spend $100 at the theater for less than 6 people. Maybe 5 people if your in Manhattan
- Comment on AMC Theatres Quarterly Losses Hit $202.1 Million After Box Office Got Off to Rocky Start 2 weeks ago:
I am single, yes. But that never stopped my parents from saying no. I never had movie theater popcorn until I was an adult. You’re the parent. You’re in charge.
- Comment on AMC Theatres Quarterly Losses Hit $202.1 Million After Box Office Got Off to Rocky Start 2 weeks ago:
If your home experience is better, you go to bad theaters, or are quite well off.
It’s crazy now but Disney was really quite expensive in the 90s. The theater is still way cheaper.

You do know you don’t have to buy all the extras, right?

- Comment on Rian Johnson Says ‘I Don’t’ Agree With Netflix CEO Over Movie Theater Model Being ‘Outdated’: I Want ‘Knives Out 3’ in ‘Many Theaters For as Long as Possible’ 3 weeks ago:
You should spend time with better people.
I go to the theater a few times a month. I encountered two rude people in the last 5 years. Better theaters have better people. Or at least encourage better behaviors.
