How Would You Improve the Theatrical Moviegoing Experience?

The inside lobby of a movie theater.

Our mission at SAW is to foster conversations about this thing we all love (or love to hate): film/TV. Many of our features are designed with you in mind. Your opinions, to be more to the point. You have ’em. We want to hear ’em.

Question of the Day (QOTD) is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a film/TV-related question that we put to you, the reader. The comments section below is like the feedback box at work; except, in this example, we actually read what you write and care about what you have to say.


Theaters are dying… until an Odyssey or Obsession is released; then they are thriving… until they’re dying again. Jokes aside, theaters are struggling, and everyone seems to have a reason why, so the question I ask today is: what would you do to improve the theatrical moviegoing experience?


I think the big one is bringing back ushers. There are far too many people talking or being on their phones during a movie, which is really weird, because why are you paying $12+ for a ticket if you’re just going to stare at your phone for most of the movie? You can do that at home for free, guy!


So what about you, screenagers? How would you improve the moviegoing experience to get more butts in theater seats?

I’ll see you in the trenches.
