Tweet of the Day, It’s Over. Damn Them, But It’s Over edition.

They won. We fought them, and they won. They finally get to kill the movie theaters.

Fine. I guess I have to go get HBO F*cking Max now.

  1. You don’t have to. Theaters will survive in some form; I like the food service theaters better anyway, and I suspect that’s the form it will take.

    1. I tend to agree. There’s two wildly different “movie-as-event” theaters near me – a “major chain”, featuring disappointing food but amazingly comfortable and child-resistant seating .. and a “retro” theater with an impressive wine list in the fully functional balcony.
      .
      The retro is purely second-run / specialty-run, they weren’t cashing in on the blockbusters anyway .. but they have an “anime night” and an “opera night” and Sunday mornings they’re a church.
      .
      The “major chain” does better with couple-friendly / date-friendly movies and makes *bank* with movies appealing to the 6-12 crowd – hordes of kiddoes watching the screen and eating nachos and pizza while their parents (mostly female) enjoy a white zin. (or a gin and tonic, whatever)
      .
      Hollywood is going to crash and burn .. as is the multiplex .. but the theater will go on.

      1. Well, you did say one of your area theaters was a church. May as well have a church double as theater….
