Food in general is one reason I haven't been to a theater in decades. I hate listening to the endless crinkle of wrappers, the shoveling in of popcorn, etc. I really don't want to smell the stink of the burger and fries you brought in or the crunching of the bag. It is bad enough when someone brings their smelly meal onto a plane and I have to smell it for an hour.
Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. Food has always been my favorite part of the experience.
Popcorn, specifically. I used to go to our local theater for the popcorn. They have a ticket plus large popcorn and drink for $9, it's a great deal. Then I figured out how to make my own popcorn that tastes just like the theater stuff with ghee and fine salt, so now I'm more inclined to just stay home and make my own.
Still gotta do the drive-in at least once a year, though.
Yeah I'm like even if the movie sucks, I'm sitting in the dark eating, so it's not all bad
Yeah seriously, smelling all the delicious food is part of the movie-going experience. The local theaters at in my city sell real food now so these days it's more than just popcorn and hot dogs.
It sounds like you have a sensory perception disorder, that is not most people's reactions to those situations. A good home theater system will probably be more comfortable for you.
People who chew with their mouth open are maddening lol
Misophonia; it’s fairly common. My local cinema usually does one or two special screenings for people with autism. I imagine those are quieter overall.
Personally, I don’t mind- it’s part of the whole ‘going to the movies’ ambience for me. As long as it isn’t terrible smelling or people are intentionally annoying with it.
I grew up in theaters as my dad was a projectionist. You couldn't pay me to go into a theater again since I was 18, what a miserable experience it had been every time I've broken that rule since. People in public are fucking annoying in so many unique ways.
