The BAD news is that being hedonistic cunts who spend a lot of money does NOT impress everyone.
Yes, you pushed awful garbage TV shows to the top, made the Kardashians stars, and have influenced restaurants to be loud and encourage only YOU idiots by offering gruesome and fatty food and novelty alcoholic drinks.
But while you've made everyone communicate via cell phone and text messages, you LOST with the AMC movie chain.
AMC was roundy ridiculed, even on social (disease) media for caving to Millennials.
As yet, there simply aren't enough Millennials (or blacks and Latinos) to force theaters into being theme parks and dark playgrounds.
Just the other night, late night's Jimmy Kimmel ran a pretty hilarious fake-commercial from AMC saying "We give up, do whatever you want." The next day, irony of irony, AMC officialy backed up and said "Whoaaa," to the stubborn mule moron Millennials.
Not everyone's ready to give up just yet. That's the Bad News.
The good news?
Most theaters don't have ushers. Most theaters would rather quietly give a refund to an elderly couple than make an announcement, "No talking, no cell phones, no laser games on the screen, no screaming babies, no witless wisecracks every 10 seconds."
So, you Millennials pretty much can keep being obnoxious in movie theaters, especially since movie theaters mostly cater to you by offering dumb super hero movies, even dumber comedians, and a whole load of creepy dirty "romance" films that are just softcore porn written by even worse writers, like E.L. Fat Pudgy British Bint James, the stupidest twat on the planet.
I can't even remember the last time I went to a theater. It may have been "Casino Royale" with the lumpy-faced "new" James Bond guy. Why? Well, I can download most any new movie instantly and see it on a decently big computer screen at home. I also don't like spending $12.50 just to see a fucking film. But mainly, I won't sit in a big smelly theater with noisy popcorn eaters and a lot of babbling.
I saw the Phil Ochs documentary in a theater because I felt I owed it to the family, and to the producer. But also, it was screened at a sincere indie movie theater that has signs about "being polite" and has motivated viewers who WANT to SEE and HEAR a movie, and THEN go home or to a restaurant to babble with somebody.
Fewer and fewer producers are making intelligent films, and there are fewer theaters for them. In fact, many producers would rather make a deal with AMAZON or NETFLIX and STREAM shit. Woody Allen is finishing up his first STREAMING piss-load right now, and that seems to be the way it'll go. Intelligent people will just stay home, avoid a mugging, and avoid Millennials.
