Your “The Ultraviolet Light Hurts Me So” Saturday Evening Open Thread

Just returned from Deadpool 2. I am absolutely finished with movie theaters. Running time was 111mins (under two hours) and we were in there almost three hours. Call me old or whatever, there’s no fucking way I’m paying $11/seat for tickets to a film that I have no idea how late it will start while I’m held hostage for concessions at 8X markup. I was busy finding other things to keep my attention that, by the time the movie started, I was barely interested. All the excitement about going to the film had completely warm off. By the last twenty mins, I was so anxious to just get the hell out of there that I couldn’t even enjoy the movie.

Fuck you, AMC, and every theater that is going to definitely follow suit. This is fucking absurdity — especially considering how great the in-home experience is now. Instead of making their experience better, AMC is just fucking doubling down on gouging you and daring you not go to the movies.

Well I’m done. You get my Star Wars money every couple years and that’s it. Not that they’ll care much losing a guy who goes to the movies about six times a year. But still — have some fucking pride in your business.
