    Yeah, you eat all the snacks during the previews so you don’t make excessive noise and disturb others during the actual film

          I stopped going for this reason recently. For the first time since covid I got no upcoming cinema visits and don’t plan to change that.

          I enjoy atmospheric movies, sometimes they are quiet and try to build up tension with subtle sound design.

          Popcorn kills that. Like if we’re watching some action flick crunch away. But if it’s some atmo horror or whatever movie, maybe 50 people chewing with their mouths open and slurping drinks kind of negates the whole point of the movie.

        Potato Chips and Corn Nuts are fantastic snacks everyone should eat during the movie…

        Especially if you wash them down with a nearly empty drink using a straw.

        I’ll see my way out.

          Shake the ice around to make more liquid. Just give it a real good swirl. Then stab at the ice with the straw so it makes that horny goose noise.

        Yeah…I miss when I had a full home theatre in my basement for that exact reason. I basically only go now if I can splurge for the VIP seats or I know it’s gonna be an empty theatre. So basically never.
