And don’t forget how theatres have let the in-seat experience go to crap.
I HATE the behavior of TOO MANY of my fellow patrons.
STFU (excuse me) during the movie!!!!

Here's my big gripe about movie theaters nowadays:
1) The cost of a ticket is getting ridiculous--especially evening showings!
2) The price of concessions is WAY too high for what you get--theater owners are just too dependent on concession sales to make a profit.
3) The sound and projection quality is getting increasingly subpar if you don't watch a movie in a THX-certified theater.
4) Unless you go to a newer theater, seating is increasingly uncomfortable.
5) The movie audience is getting very rude (like not turning off or disabling the audible tones on cellphones and pagers and talking during the film). I myself blame the TV series Mystery Science Theater 3000 for being a HUGELY bad influence on moviegoers because that TV show encouraged people to talk during a film.
6) Too many films espouse the hard-Left views of the producer of the film or the stars in the film.
And you wonder why people are snapping up flat-panel widescreen TV's and home theater systems despite the high initial cost.
