    I’d like to have spaces a bit like karaoke bars, where you can rent a room with some friends and watch TV or play videogames and order food and drinks. And maybe even karaoke. I hate theaters because the general population is insufferable, but watching a movie with friends is still fun.

      That was a thing for both karaoke and video rental when I lived in Korea in the nineties.

      The karaoke was more a place to go with a group of friends and the video place was more to go for a private place to grope your girlfriend while you watched the latest Tom Hanks movie. Think going to blockbuster, but then they immediately put the movie on in a private room for you.

      Sometimes in the summer, I’d go rent a video room by myself so I could take a nap in a dark air conditioned space.

      Many cinemas let you do that, but it’s naturally hella expensive because they are too big. Wonder if it would be profitable enough.

      Maybe both, a karaoke place with a big screen?
