but the shitty experience of a movie theater is a huge problem for me.

Spot on! I cannot stand going to the movies these days. Plus the previews are out of control. Last time I went they had 12 of them. 12! Way too many.
Plus in my neighborhood no one will STFU during a movie. Drives me nuts. I'd rather stay home and watch it on my 70 inch flatscreen.

The reason for more action and explosions is this: People are dumb. But the biggest sign that the overage movie-goer is completely stupid, is the popularity of superhero movies.
I can live with a nice dumb action movie, hell i like those just as much as i liked for example a great movie like Nightcrawler. Example of an action movie i liked is John Wick.
But superhero movies and Transformer movies are so repetitive, childish and dumb, yet they are the ones pulling the big audiences. Proof that the average movie goer is stupid.

Well, international also means the Asian market (which is huge). But yeah, sub titles are a given and a great way to learn another language. So there's something positive I guess. LOL
But I agree 100% about these idiotic superhero movies. I hate them and they keep coming nonstop every year. Enough with the Batmans and Spidermans please.
But there's an old saying: "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the average citizen."
