What area has beer and wine movie theaters. That sounds amazing,
If I could take a tall one in with me to watch a movie I might go more often.

Movie theaters are not about seeing a movie, its about having an experience.

>>80566945

Netflix's primary innovation was its movie streaming service. You're probably too young to remember, but before Netflix started their streaming service there literally just wasn't such a thing. They pretty much invented on-demand online streaming of movies and TV shows, as well as the concept of releasing an entire season of a show at once; before Netflix did that all the competing streaming services like Hulu still stuck to weekly release schedules, even for online-only shows.

tl;dr - Netflix literally invented everything you're accustomed to with relation to watching movies and TV shows online. That's their innovation.

>also its easy to smuggle in a few beers or a flask
It's not worth is it. If they catch you on the infrared camerasdrinking, they ban you from the theater. And if you're stupid enough to come back and be caught, security takes you out back and beats you with batons.

>>80568009
there's literally no other reason

>>80567960
Lol no. Streaming services started with cable companies. Netflix just omitted the cable box.

>>80567960
There were loads of sites with pirated streams of movies and tv show seasons. It's the pirates that did the innovating, Netflix just took what they did and made a legal version.

You can do a search near you.

>>80568113
>Streaming services started with cable companies.

Cable companies may have started On Demand first, but even today that shit has pretty low selection on a rotation. You can only watch the handful of movies that are currently available and they aren't available forever, and when it comes to TV shows they only keep up a few episodes at a time and not full seasons, unless it's something really old.

Netflix started online streaming and the idea of having a large selection that doesn't change or rotate so you really can watch whatever, whenever.

Cable On Demand services are nothing like that, and certainly weren't remotely close 10 years ago when Netflix started their streaming service. I'll grant you that On Demand services have improved in recent years, but that was in response to Netflix outshining them in price and convenience.

>>80567960
Good God, no.

You know that AOL / Time Warner merger was all about video on demand before the high-bandwidth infrastructure was in place?

Time Warner should have spent a billion developing their own internet provider, and the time and money would be better spent.

>>80568329
>>80568437

So they're presently not doing so great. But the question was "What was Netflix's innovation?" The fact that their catalog recently shrunk and currently sucks doesn't diminish their innovation.


>>80568435

I didn't say they invented streaming. I said they invented everything about what's considered standard in paid online streaming services. Obviously they didn't invent the technology or concept of streaming itself, but the idea of having a huge catalog of things to pick from that ideally do not come and go on any kind of rotations (recently they've clearly been having issues with their catalog as mentioned above) and the idea of releasing a full season of a TV show on day 1 were all innovations created by Netflix's successful business model.

Are you aware of how long "Video on Demand" has been around?

>>80568988

Cable company video on demand services go through the cable service to your cable box, not through the internet to any computer with a web browser (not until recently, anyway, after Netflix did it and forced the cable companies to start following suit).

>Netflix's primary innovation was its movie streaming service. You're probably too young to remember, but before Netflix started their streaming service there literally just wasn't such a thing.

I was watching "on-demand online streaming of movies and TV shows" for years before Neflix began doing it. That you later went "youtube and similar doesn't count ;_;" is moving the fucking goalposts.

>>80569040

>Cable company video on demand services go through the cable service to your cable box, not through the internet to any computer with a web browser

Why the fuck does that matter?
It's still the exact same service of accessing a library of videos in a digital database via your TV, i.e. the same shit that Netflix is.

Theaters are great. I think it's sad that not many people bother going anymore, it's how a film should be seen. Not to say the theaters aren't shooting themselves in the foot with their absurd pricing for tickets and food.

>>80574471
Epic. Simply epic.

I'd go to the theaters more if people weren't so fucking insufferable to spend time around. Until you get rid of the nuisance that is other people's behavior (crinkling bags during quiet parts, cell phones, talking during the movie, laughing at stupid parts) it's going to be an inferior experience than sitting on my comfy couch in my comfy clothes, with food that I actually enjoy and didn't burn my wallet on a stake for. Really the one thing holding theaters back are the fucking people that go to them

Like honestly why would I pay $20+ dollars for an "experience" that will be annoying and no more than slightly above average?

Human relations just aren't there for movies any more, and if you wanna argue this you know you're bullshitting yourself.

It is a much better decision to wait a few months and get a movie on DVD or pirate it and enjoy it in your living room, than pay over $20 to sit next to some smelly fuck who's gonna take away from MY experience - the only one that matters as far as I'm concerned if it's $20 fucking dollars

think of it like VR but not needing the headset.

> I was very particular about having the screens separate, where your mind puts the screens back together, the way you put memories together. I'm not the best director in the world, but I had an idea that I thought would be amazing to inspire people, like a dream of one day this being the way people watch movies. You know, Tarantino doing a movie like this or a horror movie like this, animation, 3-D ... in this form that surrounds you. People want to go back and see it more and more because they missed something to their left or to their right, and it feels more like the experience of life

There needs to be at least a dozen brown shirts standing at the aisles who will drag people out and beat them into submission for talking or using their cell phones. If you have to get up and use the restroom then you have to pay triple to get back in, and even then you're forced to sit in a designated back aisle so you're not walking in front of people. Sharpened spikes should adorn the backs of every seat so you can't kick the people in front of you. If you're still managing to do this without sustaining injury, the spikes will shoot out and impale you to your own seat. However, these will retract on unoccupied seats once the film has begun. Even once the film is over, you're not out of the woods yet fuckers. All admitted falcons are specially trained to hone in and claw out the eyes of those who clap.

The theatre should be a harrowing, life threatening experience that you remember for all time. If you can't handle acting like a respectable adult for two hours then you're out of the gene pool forever. Film, and indeed the future of mankind will benefit from these innovations.

I could still throw popcorn at people and guess what it's not illegal to wear leather hazmats to theatres so normal-sized falcons aren't really a problem.

I'll take a shoddy old theatre over the shit they produce, to be honest.

>>80577698
Main reason for this is that Netflix has been Jew'd out of other content and the only way for this to stop happening is if they own their own shit.

If your lucky you got one of those in a city near by.

There are still a lot of places with theaters from 20 years ago that only offer that same watered down soda and generic popcorn and pretzels, on the same shitty screens.

I live in a metro area and we just got one of those places and they miss every other movie because they only have four screens.

Fuck you fgt lrn 2 google. Megaupload/etc sites were around long before netflix.

movie theaters are feeling threatened and want to undercut netflix

netflix did that deal with that small theater chain that amounts only to their movies being available for academy award nomination

netflix "fires shots" to justify its actions and push back against angry theaters.

so what do you think: should movies be released in theaters only and then released on other platforms or should movies ve released for home viewing simultaneously with theater releases?

>>80582332
It's entirely up to the producers of the films how to release the movies. It shouldn't be about protecting some existing business model, that's not really their problem or Netflix's problem.

>>80566768
Has services like Netflix innovated something other than charging for limited content?

>>80582432
You retarded, son? There's tons of shit to watch on there including brand new releases. All for the same price as going to the theater and sitting in a shitty chair with a bunch of normies coughing and texting.

20 bucks for a large bucket of popcorn and a drink PLUS 25 bucks admission. Go fuck yourself I'm gonna pirate

>>80582523
But it's not innovation. Innovation implies creating something new. Taking something illegal and monetizing it has nothing to do with innovation.

You cannot argue that Netflix is innovative when all it did was make a business model out of illegal streaming sites. And even before then, it's rental service was nothing new either.

And besides, Netflix wasn't even the first legal paid streaming site. It was beaten to the punch by services like Hulu and fucking Apple TV.

The only reason Netflix is so popular and successful nowadays is because of their aggressive viral marketing campaigns (i.e. "netflix and chill", astro-turfing, planted reviews, etc)

Most movie theaters (at least here) have upgraded their picture and sound quite a bit in the last few years. The only real "innovation" has been 3D which most people don't like and you have to pay 5 extra bucks for. And now you can't see almost anything in IMAX unless you put on those stupid glasses. So yeah, fuck movie theaters, though I still go sometimes.

>>80582752
This is factually untrue.
From my own experience I searched for ten films I wanted to watch and Netflix did not have a single one of them. And they weren't even obscure films!

The same with shows. To test it out I tried searching for ten different shows and of those ten they only had two available to stream. Nice fucking catalog you got there.

>>80582916
A lot of theaters really need to look into better soundproofing. It's really galling to be watching through a quiet segment of a movie and still being able to hear what's playing next door.

>>80575659

>>80582968
So true, if you go to see a thriller or something slow paced and capeshit is playing next door you get to hear all the subwoofers roaring the whole time. I suppose they didn't realize this would be an issue when they built them way back when.

Hope they won't let Wachowski sisters to touch the movie

>>80582913
>It was beaten to the punch by services like Hulu and fucking Apple TV.

Apple TV was originally a device that synced offline content purchased from iTunes from your Mac computer or Windows PC. They didn't introduce streaming until 2010, which was 3 years after Netflix started their streaming service.

Hulu didn't start beta testing until the end of 2007, which was months after Netflix had begun their streaming service. And it didn't launch to the public until a little over a year after Netflix's streaming service. And even then Hulu had ads and was pretty shit compared to Netflix. They didn't get popular until they started adopting more Netflix-like qualities (go fucking figure, right?).

So no, those services didn't beat Netflix to the punch. Face it, Netflix was the primary innovator in the space. You may not like the service, but you can't deny their innovations.

How about the fact that they have huge screens, an actually good selection of movies (let's be real here, 98% of Netflix is just trash) and the fact that I work at a theater so I can play Bloodborne on a giant screen in a balcony theater.
Netflix is honestly a shit service, they couldn't even keep Samurai Jack in their library for more than a month or so.

Not trash, just okay. When I go a theater, I can always pick out something I'm interested in seeing. Unlike Netflix.

My theaters don't have this problem. Maybe you should stop going to little mom and pop low-rent theaters and go to real chains that spend real money to make actual good venues.

>>80568274

>>80583375
My theater's a national chain franchisee and not even 10 years old.

Someone just fucked up either when it was built or when they upgraded the sound system.

>>80583375
Dude I live in Seattle, one of the wealthiest cities in the world. There are no mom and pop theaters here. The buildings are just not designed to accommodate the louder systems they've installed.

>>80575360
Movie theatres in the US you mean.
Every movie theatre i've been to in my life in my country (France) has been the perfect experience.
No one is talking during the movie, the children behave well, people have their phone off, they don't throw food anywhere, and they don't shit in the alleys

>>80566768
They have innovated though. Its more on Hollywood to produce movies that will work with the Cinema.

Just look at 4D movies at any amusement park. I remember when I was young seeing a pirate flick at Cedar point. There were smells when something was supposed to be, cannon blasts were a small mist of water released infront of you, and of course 3D. It was a great experience for a 15-20 min pirate flick.

>>80589379
>tfw your local imax won't show blockbuster trash

>>80589379
IMAX came out in the 80s. The only real "innovation" to it was in 2008 when they expanded their brand to include much smaller screens (about 1/4 the size of a real IMAX) and brand them all the same, so they could put IMAX everywhere and charge more for it.

Don't get me wrong, I like the bigger screens, but that combined with the fact that they force all the companies to make everything in 3D so they can charge even more pisses me off.

Movie theaters are literally a social experience you have to have with friends, family, gf, etc.
Netflix is for shut in losers.
