Dogma, The Theater Experience

As many of you may know, I have always been a fan of the Kevin Smith movies. I won’t exactly be reviewing Dogma, it’s a great movie, and it is 25 years old. I feel like if you cared to see it by now, you probably would have. What I wanted to talk about was the movie experience as a whole.

I don’t go to the movies often these days, but damn has it gotten expenive. My buddy picked up a large soda and a medium popcorn; these combined cost over $20. This was about the same as a movie ticket. The Regal theater we visited was very basic, and it is one we have been to in the past. Gone were the days of there being movie decorations everywhere. It almost felt like a tomb or a labyrinth where you walk in and can buy some food, then get ushered through some dark paths to a movie screen.

When people discuss the movie industry and the movie experience dying, this theater really showed me why. Going with my friends, and most movies i have gone to see, I go see with @torstenvblog, so it wasn’t who I was with, it has been the same great experience. This time, while the company was great, and the movie was fantastic, the experience itself just felt off. I leave you with this thought: movies and theaters have changed. Do not accept that if you have options, where you live. We have other great theaters near me, but Regal is not one of them.

Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
