TOP TEN: Things Needed If I Am Going To Pay $35 To See A Movie
What would it take for you to pay $35 for a movie?
| Airline style ticketing |
Along with comfortable seats I want an assigned seat and I want to not have to worry about rushing into a theater or even standing in line. If I buy a ticket online I want to pick my seat and show up five minutes before the film, walk in, find my seat and sit. You know why? Because that shit would be awesome!
| No ads and a 3 trailer maximum |
Theaters are now making money by showing us ads on the screen before the movie even starts, then ads once the trailers start and then something like 10-15 minutes of trailers. What the shit is that? If the movie is supposed to start at 7 PM that means the trailers should start promptly at 7, then you show us only three of them. After the first one no one else is allowed into the theater and after the third one the film begins. If you want to replace one of the three trailers with an ad, go ahead, but three is the minimum. I also don't want to see animated film reels telling me it is the feature presentation or dancing concessions telling me to go buy a Coke. I am a human being, I can figure this shit out for myself.
| Private booths/suites |
Instead of balcony seating I want pimp suites and booths. Yeah, they may cost a little extra, but they would be fun as hell. It would make the extra money worth it if my feet didn't stick to the floor and I didn't have to worry about the drunks getting up to go piss or the stinky person to my right bumping or nudging me while I try to enjoy the $35 I just spent.
| A minimum of 5 ushers per screening |
Two in front, two in the middle and one roaming usher will be assigned to immediately eject someone if their phone rings or even lights up. If they are caught talking, warned and then talk again they are ejected. They help the people that come in during the late grace period to their sit quickly and quietly. Basically they make sure the theater is silent. What's that? You snuck a baby in? It better not cry or you are getting tossed.
