  • The AMC theater experience in my area is so poor that I strictly avoid it. Between no assigned seats, the old style fold down seats, sticking to floor as you walk, other patrons talking/being on their phone/using their phone flashlight during the movie, and the 30 minutes of pre-show ads, it just doesn’t make sense to spend money on it.

    If I do want to see a movie in theaters, I drive to the non-AMC theater that is 45 minutes away since it is just a much better experience and higher quality at a lower price.









  • To build on your comment: cost of living has a surprisingly fixed price. Different qualities of living don’t cost massively different. If the average person has to spend their whole earnings on living an “average life”, if you make 2x and want to live twice as nice of a life, it likely only cost 1.5x the “average life”. Earning 2-3x opens up a lot of luxury even though it may not seem like it.
