I just think most people who whine don't like going to the movie theater. I even can agree with some of the complaints (sometimes sticky floors, I'm amazed by how people just LEAVE THEIR GARBAGE BEHIND)..

but even if I have a giant screen at home (which I don't yet), I still like seeing a movie on a giant screen with an audience. (Though I wait a while in most cases, and HAVE been times where there were only a few people in the theater.)

I completely realize MP is unsustainable, but it has made me be a moviegoer again, instead of just a couple times a year at most. When MP fails, I will almost certainly jump on AMC's version (until they dump it since it will then no longer have competition).. If movies just go back up to "regular" price, I will then just stop going again..

MP has made me go to the movies WAY WAY more often than I used to.

I think it's way more fun to see a movie at a theater, even just by myself.

There are about exactly 20 minutes of trailers at the theaters I typically go to, and I almost never see a movie soon after it comes out (I did see The First Purge yesterday, the day it opened, and it wasn't very crowded.. not good movie though).. so I just show up at about the _scheduled_ time, and play on my phone for a little while..

lots of "free" (since I'm already paying) movies.

also, the "fee" will only show up to NEW monthly and yearly members. I am already on a year plan, so it won't show up for me for many more months.

The fee was shown to be $3.43 in a screenshot in email sent to those whose accounts are getting the fee.

Well, yeah, of course, for some things like that, especially involving the government, are the exceptions. Note I did say "merchants".

You wouldn't want the government taking in less tax money (because of the credit card fees(*))?

(*) In my original message, I didn't specifically mention that, but yes I realize merchants (and thus consumers) "pay" for the credit cards.. But at each individual purchase, my price is the same (with the gas exception), so as a good consumer, it's cheaper/more convenient to ME to use a credit card.
