Maybe they need to tell theaters to calm the fuck down with their pricing and ads. Do one or the other. If I'm paying $15+/ticket to see a show, then don't lie to me about the showtime and include half an hour of commercials.

Yeah this feels like another thing that's downstream from low wages.

Movies are a luxury. If most people are struggling to get by in debt, they're less likely to splurge.

Basically everything that made being middle class fun has turned into another race to the bottom in terms of quality and enjoyment because of capitalism.
