Public Theaters



There are many down sides to going to see a movie in a public theater. One of the many disadvantages of going to the movies these days are the lines and inconveniences . If someone wants to go see a movie on a Friday or Saturday night in Albany, Georgia, they better have already gotten a ticket or know the owners because there is a very good chance the tickets will be sold out. People still have to wait in the line (that by this time is flowing out of the door)to be told that the movie they wanted to see is sold out.
Lets say that somehow the tickets are not sold out and the mob of adults and children clear the way, is it smooth sailing from there on? The answer is no. Once all pockets are emptied and both hands are full of popcorn, candy, and coke, it is time for the journy into the theater. This is the where the real problems begin. It is bad dealing with the crowds and over priced snacks, but at least an intense movie is not going on during these events. The worst is when the characters are in a passionate conversation and peoples cell phones are going off in the crowd. In a close second comes babys crying. Why would anyone bring a new born to a theater? Another down side to going to see a movie in a public theater is the unwelcomed commentary on everything that happens in the movie. This actually can be pretty intertaining if it is a scary movie that is not very good. Other than in that senario, the commentary is very annoying.
With all these horrible cons to the movie theater, why do people still go? It is because of their impatience. When someone sees a preview of a movie that they think looks interesting, there is no con in the world that is going to keep them out of the theater, no matter how made it might get.
