Interesting article about human in public places. A lot of blame is placed on the , but I have to wonder how accurate that is. Disruption at for example was an issue well before the pandemic with people using their at full brightness.

Almost every single time I go to the cinema with my sons I take a photo of them standing in front of one of the displays. You know the ones. Sometimes people can pretend like they are interacting with the characters. Almost every picture has been a victim of bad lighting.

I think that these cinemas could spend like 20-30 minutes putting up well placed lights that would help people take good photos which then they could post to social media. Free (almost) marketing.

I hadn’t been to the movies at all since before the pandemic and I just caught some trailers at the AMC theater right before seeing Indiana Jones and the sound was so damn loud. I can’t believe they do that. It’s kind of nuts.

The future of the West Newton Cinema seemed grim when the owner sold the building to a developer last summer. But a new foundation just launched a campaign to buy the building back & make the theater a nonprofit. Here's my @gbhnews story: cms.wgbh.org/_preview?_cms.db.

The backbone of resistance to the plan is a nonprofit formed to preserve the Castro Theatre as primarily a movie house, which has been endorsed by a long list of Hollywood luminaries and prominent San Francisco figures. More than 11,500 people signed a petition started by the nonprofit that urges the city to include the existing seat configuration as part of the theater’s historic landmark status. Critics spoke out at a community meeting in August, some holding signs and wearing shirts that spelled out “Save the Seats.”

“Ripping out the seats is like ripping out the heart of that place and pissing on the ghost,” said Marc Huestis, a filmmaker who has organized more than 50 events at the theater, which he called a “sacred place.”

: “Today, the most common issue moviegoers are likely to encounter is a dim picture. One reason is that many of those Avatar-era projectors are still in service and showing their age. In 2020, Sony announced it was exiting the cinema-projection business and recently ended support on the models used by major chains. This was especially problematic because those machines have a known liability issue, an analyst tells Digital Cinema Report: “The ultraviolet light from the projector’s lamp slowly destroys the imaging device, and the projected image loses color. The solution is to replace the imaging devices once or twice a year.” But that’s an expensive fix, so not enough theaters do it.

Digital Cinema Initiatives, a joint venture between major film studios, recommends that commercial theaters project their films at a minimum of 14 footlamberts, a standard of brightness roughly equivalent to the amount of light that would be produced by 48 wax candles per square meter of screen space. One maintenance technician, who asked for anonymity while criticizing the theaters that employ him, told me that some places with old Sonys are getting as few as six footlamberts.“

I'm catchin Quantumania Thursday night after work, then again on Saturday 😎

Thursday night I'll be going alone cuz my gf isn't the Marvel fan boy that I am, but she, I, and a friend of mine are going the following Saturday. I got AMC A-List specifically for when cool superhero/sci-fi movies come out cuz I like the theater experience enough to go alone and with others. The COVID/Streaming years taught me that you just can't beat imax with the convenience of streaming.

@TechNews no thank you . I recently cancelled my membership because there's NOTHING TO SEE!! I paid all of 2022 and 2021 despite this problem with hopes that it would change......Guess what, I got used to streaming my movies and I'll just wait.

A price hike isn't going to change that. 🤨

Seriously AMC? I loved going to their theaters and the prices of movies were the same regardless of which seats you pick and besides we picked the seats ourselves. This takes away the ability to choose and I consider it price gouging just to make up for losing 2 years of profits.

On the one hand, no diff here from theater or music shows.

On the other hand, is AMC actually drawing such sizeable crowds they can afford to alienate *anyone* with an effective price mark up?
