So you disagree with his take on the state of modern movie theaters? You're cool with incessant commercials and not turning the lights down? 

The most ludicrous part is that QT is complaining about some of the AV Club’s own favorite punching bags: commercialization, people not taking COVID restrictions seriously, the loss of the communal experience of going to the movies, etc. But because he’s a white guy in his 50s all Barsanti can see is the opportunity…

Right, what is the point of this post? Tarantino’s criticism boils down to corporatism has devalued the experience of sitting a packing theatre with strangers to watch a film and Sam is taking issue, with his usual smug superiority.

Not only should you be able to order nachos and margaritas in a movie theater you should be able to order them everywhere; synagogue, court, mortuary, McDonalds, even my cousin Patty’s studio apartment. Nachos and sweet alcoholic drinks on demand is a human right.  

In this case he’s very nearly 100% right.

...and thus, the A/V club's "Hot takes on Quentin Tarantino" summer continued unabated by self-awareness.

I mean I went to an AMC to catch Godzilla vs. Kong after getting my shots, and... he’s not 100% wrong

Can we get an overhaul mod of Star Wars Rebellion? Still my favorite SW strategy game, but boy it has not aged gracefully. Wasn’t a fan of EaW.

Also, christ, you want to talk about fans defending their moron overlord, check out Jalopnik whenever someone dares to criticize Elon Musk.

I felt this site was getting stupid and trolly in the comments section lately. Although a lot of his fans seems to have run here to defend their moron overlord aggressively. 

I’m both shocked and disappointed by the apparently large overlap between AV Club Commentariat and Joe Rogan defenders.

I’ve only been to an actual Alamo Drafthouse once, but my understanding is that they take a hard line on disruptions during the show. For me, that alone is worth the price of admission.

To paraphrase The Kids in the Hall, Army of the Dead is Snyder’s best film.  It’s also terrible.

And if you happen to get hit with a piece of space junk (particularly a toilet seat from a defunct Russian space station), it then becomes your responsibility to escort souls to the afterlife.

Or you know, when they tried to weaponize their fans against Apple and Google while clearly trying to do the same stuff they want people to fight against (and willingly going against the terms of service they agreed to in the first place to start the whole mess).

Cool, can’t wait for the EULAs to describe how they own all content posted onto ArtStation, so Epic can just steal artwork from creators without paying them, and then saying ‘well, you agreed we own this to do with it as we please when you posted it here’ a la facebook and twitter.

Is it unpopular to say: “I don’t like Epic Games.” ?

Sweeny’s long game is both incredibly obvious, and wildly esoteric.

I don’t think anyone has a problem with reasonable responses to watching a movie in public. It’s okay to laugh at jokes, cheer when the heroes win, etc. If you are the type of person who likes to loudly ask “Who is that?” “What just happened?” etc., then yeah, nobody likes you in the theater (or likely at home either).

I’ve never been to an Alamo Drafthouse, but I’ve been to theaters that operate in a similar manner. Based on personal anecdotal experiences, most of the people that go to these types of theaters are there for the movie, and tend to respect the rest of the movie goers. The audience is generally much quieter than your…
