As someone who grew up going to movies multiple times a week - I'm starting to worry that the end is nigh. I'm aware many have said movies are dead at different times over the past 30 years - and they've all been wrong... but even though I pay a monthly fee for a movie pass that allows me to see multiple movies a week - I find myself unwilling to leave the house.
Part of this is the amount of ads before the film - part is the the number of people who think the movie theater is their living room and proceed to talk through the film - part is the amount of people who are on their phones while the film is going...
As someone who loves movies, who has made movies and TV all of my adult life - I'm just wondering if the communal experience of sitting together and laughing, crying, screaming and enjoying a great film is something that is quickly becoming a thing of the past.
I wonder....
Do you still go to the movies? Do you enjoy it?
If not...
Why not?
