  • Nah, it’s not that it’s gotten more expensive, it’s that most of the films are shit or otherwise unsatisfying. Maybe a combination of the two? :)

    Of the films I’ve seen at the cinema recently, the last one I remember really enjoying was Joker (which is not even recent), and the most recent one I mostly enjoyed, but then it had a shit cliffhanger ending instead of feeling like a complete film in its own right. I was literally saying to my friend before the film started that Dune pissed me off because of the absolutely shit ending, and then the same fucking thing happened. I don’t go to the cinema and pay $15-20 for the ticket to come out feeling like I watched half a season of some Netflix show. I could have a month of Netflix for the same money, watch what I want at my own convenience and pause/rewind if I need the toilet or want to check something.

    I still like going to the cinema, but I feel like the movies have got to be more varied, more surprising, and fucking end properly instead of teasing a second part in a fucking year. I would love it if they were more respecting of my time and didn’t run on for three fucking hours too. I’d love more movies like Terminator 2 where there is zero fluff and the whole thing ends in 2 hours? That’s what the cinema is for!
