We take my Mom to the movies at least once a month. Because she’s worth the price of admission and snacks.

Regardless of the circumstances, this is an unforgivable sin.

Raw was good.
Not sure it was worth damning your soul to the depths of hell for all eternity, though.
But hey. You do you.
Very true and I can see the TV screen from my shitter!!!

Movie theaters have come up with some weird ways of competing with the ever improving home entertainment set ups and same day steaming options lately...

In my old house I'd set up two mirrors strategically.
One was no good because everything was backwards.

Update based on personal experience now that I was roped into going to an AMC by friends who insisted on going to it since it was closer:
AMC's claim that "prices will average the same because some seats will be discounted" is COMPLETE BULLSHIT. That claim would only be true if the number of seats discounted equaled the number of seats bumped up in price.
However, at my local AMC, the ONLY seats that are discounted are the awful VERY FIRST ROW of seats, that put your face up against the screen so you have to turn your head back to look up the entire movie.
Meanwhile, half the seats in each room now count as "premium" seats and have gone up in price. Basically, in an average room, about 40% of the seats went up in price, about 50% stayed the same price, and only about 10% went down in price, so the overall price has increased. They also now have the ushers checking that you are in the seat it says on your ticket.

AMC Theaters Backtrack on Dynamic Viewing Options

AMC Theaters Realized Dynamic Viewing Options Idea Sucked, Will Not Charge For Better Seats
AMC Theaters will no longer offer their dynamic pricing option to moviegoers. Customers had to pay a higher price if they wanted to sit in the middle of the theater.

Seems to me theaters should be doing anything they can to attract business right now. Honestly if I have the option of watching a new movie at home or in a theater, its home because its more comfortable. Theaters should be strategizing on improving the customer experience. This aint it

Exactly. If I get hungry or need to piss at home, I can simply pause the movie and do what I need to do.

However…
When I spill my drink at the theater, I don’t really give it a second thought…
