• No.

    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.
