Movie theaters suck. They’re expensive as fuck, loud parts shake the room, quiet parts are silent, no control over subtitles.
no control over subtitles.
Really most theaters I know you can rent a little plexiglass thing which gives you subtitles from a rear projector.
Must be a Europe thing. I’ve been to a plethora of movie theaters and never came across this. They just have designated Closed Caption screenings.
I’ve never seen anything like it in Europe, where I live they even show the subs in 2 languages at the same time. It’s horrible.
It certainly thing in the UK I have no idea what other countries do. I’ve never watched movies in other countries unsurprisingly.
Very much not common everywhere. Where I live, if you want subtitles, you need to find a cinema that has a showing with subtitles. Usually that’s also paired with the non dubbed original audio.
A personal subtitle screen like those translucent mirrors you‘re describing sounds like a great solution though. I don’t really like subtitles unless I’m watching in a language I don’t understand very well but I know a lot of people who prefer having them on regardless.
One could do it like in an opera house, where the subtitles are shown on a separate screen above or below the stage
Any coward who uses Twitter in the year 2024 is a traitor and a collaborator.
Oh no the date formatting! I can’t tell if this is the 24th of August 2024 or 2024 on August 24th! What am I to do!?
Honestly if it keeps the brainrot addicts who can’t sit through a movie without scrolling through Minecraft parkour videos in one place so I can go and watch them without bright screens in thr dark microwaving my eyeballs, I’m all for it.
My wife and I used to go to movie theaters quite often and screens have hardly been an issue. Talking and smells have been way further up the list of common annoyances.
And they actually change the film several times to see if anyone notices.
That’s called Rumble. You can do it from the comfort of your own home.
I did this with my friends during covid and it came to be the best part of my week.
It’s the only way to see horror movies IMHO.
Sounds like an interesting business idea. It could seriously pull a lot of younger audience without putting a lot of effort into anything.
Biggest problem I could see with this as a business idea is that IP owners might be hesitant to have their movies shown in places where everyone is expected to have a recording device out.
Otherwise it seems like an actually great idea.
Seems like the kind of thing where enthusiasm/attendance might fall off sharply with the novelty of the thing. Of course you could just transition it back into a regular cinema if that happened.
I have never wanted to burn down a full theater more than I do now.
Baby Shark needs to be playing in the background. It’s always playing on one of the many speakers, but which speaker it is - and what volume - changes every couple of seconds.
Why must you do this to me
Baby sha-a-a-ark baby sha-a-a-ark
There’s a separate twitch stream watching these people and they vote on that every time the song plays. Max volume on all speakers if the stream is dead.
In the theater, you can just talk to everyone in the room
You’re not supposed to talk during the movie tho
Oh yeah, and who’s gonna arrest me? The talk police?
Neither are you supposed to use your smartphone
This sounds like hell, the movie experience is already awful.
That’s the idea, then people who want to see the movie they paid for can go to the non-brainrot theatre.
KEKW
You can sort of emulate this behavior using a VR headset and using that Big screen app that puts you in a virtual theatre with others and people can talk and throw popcorn at the screen etc. You can find all sorts of movies playing on it that you can randomly join
Personally, I would like a Japanese karoke-style room system for the theater. Sit back, relax, and watch the video in peace. Order snacks and drinks for delivery, and maybe snuggle up with your partner. No children, just you and a time away from life.
Right, and the chat should scroll on the side of the film, for maximum immersion.
