you could just stream a movie on a discord voice channel
Yea, why would I drive to a theater, pay for parking, pay for tickets, pay for concessions, and no one is fully paying attention to the film?
I might as well stay comfy at home, stream on discord for free, eat my already paid for food, and save a shit ton of money without becoming overstimulated by strangers.
People for some reason already do this. The suggestion is to segregate them so those of us who enjoy the movie theater experience can do so.
You’re right which is why I gravitated toward Alamo Drafthouse which makes some attempt to crack down on phone use or excessive disruption during a movie. But, ticket and concession prices on top of parking are becoming more of a luxury each day.
There's even a sub/channel/mag right here on Lemmy that does this. People vote on each week's movie and then watch it together. Pretty fun.
