How Often Do You Use Apple Vision Pro?

Man I’m gonna sound like such an old man here but ‘back in my day’ i feel like the theater experience was much better. Am i crazy here or did it become a hell of a lot more common place for people to talk during movies? To constantly get up during movies? To be on their phones with the brightness of their screens up at full blast for everyone to see in a dark theater?

You're right. There is no doubt that in the pursuit of 'respecting' everyone, manners were lost. confusing as heck, but the same people that virtue signal will sit on their phone in a theater and act entitled to be rude. That's why I don't miss going to theaters at all. Do miss the popcorn. Maybe I should get one of those theater style poppers!

So just this past weekend I returned to the movie theater (twice!) after about a year. I mostly don’t go because I’m not a fan of the violent stuff and there just don’t seem to be enough Ferris Bueller type movies these days where they’re just fun and easy to watch. Too much dark and gritty for me.

My friends have commented about the disrespectful people too citing them as a reason for staying home. I’ve been lucky in that I very rarely have seen that kind of behavior. Maybe I just don’t notice them. 🤷🏻‍♂️

But I will say as much as I love AVP, it was refreshing to be in the theater again. It was the whole experience. The previews, the popcorn smell and just being there I guess. It felt like an event. I went with friends too so it was nice to do something with them other than just meeting for dinner and waving goodbye. Maybe it was the whole shared experience that I hadn’t realized how much I missed.

I still mostly use VP for looking at my own photos, panoramas and videos from trips. It still wows me pretty often with just how good it all looks.

Oddly enough I finally gave up going to the theater regularly because of an old couple. One of them straight up couldn’t hear so the other was loudly, and I mean loudly, repeating everything that was just sad on-screen so the other one could hear it.

WTF????? Between the teenagers that don’t shut up and sit down and the elderly who apparently weren’t any more mature, to the cost of tickets and snacks, I’d had my fill.

I’ve been to the theater about 6 - 8 times in the 13 years since I made that decision. I used to go so regularly I’d see a movie that I liked several times in the theaters before I’d snap it up on DVD / Blu-Ray.

I’d sometimes go twice a week in my 20’s. I’d see the new flicks on a Friday or Saturday night, occasionally on a Sunday if the theaters were sold out those evenings, and then go on Tuesdays when tickets were heavily discounted for movies that I liked after they’d been in theaters for a few weeks or to see films that I didn’t feel like seeing with a bigger crowd.

Most recently I’ve seen Killers of the Flower Moon (I want those 3 hours back …. what a let down) and Oppenheimer (a great flick but I love almost every Nolan movie I’ve seen) and that’s been it for the last few years.

I’m considering seeing Superman or potentially The Fantastic Four (depending on the reviews for each) but outside of seeing a special effects spectacle in IMAX or IMAX 3D, or something that has great written all over it like Oppenheimer did, I have no desire to go to the movies. I’ve got a Vision Pro and a 75” 4K TV with an AppleTV attached.

Seeing a flick at home is just a better all around experience and I can buy the movie for what it would cost for my wife and I to go to the movies and get popcorn and a couple of pops.

Outside of having to wait a few months to see a movie, there is little downside.

I feel this to my core. Might i suggest this. They included packets of liquid butter and they are so good. The concession savings alone from going to the movies might offset the cost of my Apple Vision Pro lol i usually spend like $50 between me and my wife when we go to movies. I got a hot dog steamer at home, make popcorn, have home nachos and nugget iced drinks. Home is perfect most of the time. Unless a special occasion makes us wanna go out
