Why go when I have a 70 Oled and almos sound system. Dealing with the jack asses that talk, text, or chew loudly isn't worth the hassle. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] chknbwl@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago (2 children) Dude, I only have a 36" LED and budget sound bar and I still wouldn't go to the cinema. It's cheaper to rent the movie online, I can ensure my popcorn is perfectly buttered and not burnt (truly a game changer), and I don't have to shush 2.5 teenagers every matinee night.
