The Death of Cinema

[@lexi5323]

I remember having to wait like 6 months for a DVD release. Everything is almost instantaneous now.

How times have changed for the better, depending on your view of course

[@rogerk6180]

It devalues movies as a whole. It makes everything cheap and disposable..

[@JerryThres]

This channel needs to have at least half a million followers

[@motioninart]

You’re too kind. Thank you

[@BrockLee3]

Idiots that keep checking their cell-phones are what REALLY ruined cinema for me. Especially, when it's the same person, in the same spot, opening their phone MULTIPLE times throughout the whole movie.

[@motioninart]

New generations have shorter and shorter attention spans. Must check phone. Must scroll reels. Must keep dopamine high.

[@RATED4EVER]

This is why I don't understand why movie theatres don't make it a policy that once a movie starts, if anyone is caught with a cellphone on during the movie, they get kicked out, and don't get their $$$ back either. This will really make them think twice before turning on their cellphone at a movie theatre.

Maybe it's me, myself, personally, as a person, but they stopped making movies I want to see. For example I want to see Robot Dreams, it's not playing anywhere locally. So, I have to drive over a hour way to experience it in a theater. Also, the last 4 movies I've seen in theaters have all been foreign films.

[@motioninart]

Makes sense. If they don’t make anything we want to watch, so much so we’d leave the comfort of streaming, then why would anyone go to the cinema?

[@boax]

underrated channel, very cool video

[@motioninart]

Thanks for the kind words

[@MeeCee5204]

I like to watch movies at home because I can pause the movie and think about what I'm seeing or think about a line from an actor. You can't do that at the theater. At home, you have time to really process the movie and understand it.

[@motioninart]

Interesting view. I think it would work well on movies that have a lot of complicated parts going on or that challenge your thinking.

[@MeeCee5204]

@@motioninart exactly, I had to rewatch certain parts of Silence of the Lambs multiple times before I understood what was going on

[@Moloch187]

It would be funny if that was Anthony Mackie marketing the new Captain America movie.

[@motioninart]

Lololol

[@devinpaul9026]

Altocelaraphobia ALONE keeps me out of theaters for the most part. You don't need a completely hollow six storey high lobby with all kinds of hanging pipes and vents. You don't need a THEATER roof higher than the fucking SCREEN!!

[@motioninart]

It’s a death trap just waiting

[@amberbaum4079]

Then there are people like me who, while they went to cinema with their parents or on their own when they were younger, never had this association with "going to the cinema". This feeling that is described in the video by yourself and Tarantino. I'm also not a target group for horror shlock movies or these big Marvel/superheros series. Nowadays movies that are shown in cinema have nothing that I want to see anyways. Oh and the audience can really ruin it. I'm not paying how many bucks for a giant to sit in front of me and for kids kicking my seatback(Cinema in Germany has seat numbers and if the halls are full you can't just choose your seat, but have to sit in your seat that's on your ticket). I generally find watching movies at home much more comfortable, cheaper and especially "gemütlich".

I haven't gone to a theater since the early 90s. Especially with COVID19, I'm not about to go into a room full of people just to see a film. I don't even buy DVDs or Blu-Ray anymore. KZbin is far more entertaining and educational.

[@jamestrickingtonIII]

I haven't been to the movie. theater since July of 2019.

[@AO_9]

Has there even been any good movies since? When I want to see a movie nowadays I have to go back to the 90's or 00's to find something good.

[@motioninart]

No regrets I presume? Also, what was that movie you saw in July 2019 out of curiosity

[@motioninart]

I struggle to find any since

[@jamestrickingtonIII]

@@motioninart It was the second Spider-Man movie, Far From Home I think. And no, I don’t have any regrets. Honestly, my 5 year absence from the theater coincides with my disappointment with the MCU. I realized that the only reason I went to the theater was to see these big blockbuster movies, and once I stopped caring for them, I stopped going to the theater all together.
