The very last time I was in a theater, the woman ahead of me freaked out because she found bugs crawling on her. Movie off, lights on; the chair she was in was covered in lice.
That got me thinking a lot about the environmental conditions of movie theater seats: large crowds of a cross section of society, rotating multiple times a day. And given seat could have had four different people sitting in it by the late night showing. And that, seven days a week. Even if they completely fumigated the entire theater between showings (which they don’t), then you’d only be trading a potential infestation with exposure to chemicals likely to increase your cancer risk.
Nope. No thank you. A decent big screen OLED and sound system, and I’m perfectly happy to wait until I can stream the movie. Plus, you pay once vs once per person.
Haven’t been to the movies since covid and no plan to return ever again. Sit in a room with a bunch of strangers and risk getting infected? Fuck that. Most of the people I know that got covid got it from the movies. Hard pass
No.

New fear unlocked.

If I were you I’d do something to put an end to this line of thinking or you’ll wind up never leaving your house again.
