Over at Tumblr.com (our site is frenchtoastsunday.tumblr.com) every Tuesday users participate in TOP TEN TUESDAYs, listing off their current top ten moments of the day.
Here at FTS we want to give a random weekly top 10 list about..well whatever we want.
Top 10 Downfalls Of Seeing A Movie In Theaters
01. 3D/Imax ticket prices
Paying $10 is far too much money for a regular ticket price let alone $13 to $17 for a bigger screen and glasses!
02. Overpriced terrible food
I DO NOT pay $12 for chicken fingers at the movies. It’s just my own moral path I choose to follow.
03. Theater cleanliness
The floors are sticky, the chairs are beat up and arm rests are covered in what can only be described as “gunk” but nothing compares to…
04. Bad odor
There is this mixture of popcorn, BO and possible vomit? Whatever it is, it’s gross.
05. Other people
This requires a multi- layered response
a. Parents the bring their little kids: Your 3 year old should not be at a 10:00pm showing of Last House on the Left. I don’t need to hear your kids whining and you don’t need to pay for unnecessary therapy later in life.
b. The Commentators: Really, he just opened the door? Oh THAT’S the bad guy? I honestly had no idea what happened on screen until you just narrated it out loud.
c. The Laughers: That joke wasn’t THAT funny.
d. The Immature: Usually this consists of young teenagers, but sometimes adults can’t even handle a scene of serious emotion or sex talk.
06. Awful Customer Service
If you do need any help with tickets or otherwise, it’s hard to count on the apathetic staff at the multiplex
07. Crowds
Have fun shuffling through the bounty of couples, teens and everyone else out on a Friday night. I hope you like waiting in line and praying to get a good seat.
08. Limited movie availability
What’s up with movies with only 3 show times? And sometimes a limited release movie won’t be playing anywhere near you!
09. Uncomfortable accommodations
In a lot or theaters there are uncomfortable seats and arm rests. Not to mention if you don’t get there on time you may end up sitting neck up in the front row.
10. No control over your viewing experience
You can forget the pleasures of the remote control. Have to pee? Wanna grab a soda? Too bad, you should have done that before the movie started.
