We have two multiplexes in town but only one does reserved seating. I'm with you on that -- if most of the theater showings I was going to were packed then I could see the value in ensuring I would not only have a seat but one that I would accept seeing a movie from. (Honestly, I think it's a rare movie theater where you don't have a decent view from every seat but it is definitely better to see an IMAX film from a centerish seat).
And yes, especially when done as a group I find it an annoyance. At Christmas there were 5 of us going to the movie, one couple and then a group of 3. We ended up having to pay more for advanced tickets because of the seating. It had to be done by one person since otherwise we might have been seated in different places. Had it just been open seating each of us could have bought our own at the box office while waiting for others to show up. As it turned out there were maybe a dozen people besides us in this theater meaning we could have sat pretty much anywhere. Similarly I have only once been in anything near a full theater in the last three years, despite seeing movies every 3 months or so.
I also despise the app-centered purchase of everything. I mean, sure, if it makes it easier for someone, have at it. But I don't want to be forced into adding apps to my phone because we know it's almost all spying on you.
And the scene stealer is a domestic ginger cat named goose. Who spends most of its time with Jackson, because Larson is allergic to cats. She has two brief interactions with the cat.
Interesting to know. It did make more sense to me that it would have been Carol interacting with it than Fury, both in terms of character development and Fury's past representation. That certainly doesn't help.
Maria Rambeau is largely wasted, although I love their relationship -- I wanted much more. Perhaps we'll get it in the Avengers Endgame or the sequel to Captain Marvel.
Hopefully in a sequel yes, I can't imagine there will be any in Endgame given what a packed movie it is.
