(42,862 posts)I doesn't seem like that long ago, but when I did the math... it's amazing to realize how long it's been.
We've avoided seeing movies in theaters because neither one of us can stand the loud personal conversations; and cell phones; and unruly children. In the past, I always enjoyed the shared experience and reactions of being frightened as a group, or laughing with the audience as a group... but the folks who shout at the screen or who need to be comedians or who are loud critics and continuity checkers... it's just not worthwhile.
We just don't have the patience for rude and obnoxious people in theaters. My husband is official a grumpy-old-man and I'm officially a fussy-old-lady (with no cats).
Also (and here's a biggie) ... I miss closed captioning and being able to hit the pause button so that I can take a pee-break. Seriously.
But now, with Covid... I have one more reason to NOT go to the theater.
