Movie News: A question to ponder… does the announcement that Dreamworks is already developing a sequel to The Wild Robot hurt its chances at winning an Oscar/ Does it somehow make it feel less special?

My 4th trip to the theatres this year, which I do really find to be inadequate. This time, the movie wasn’t too loud, like I had with Deadpool and Wolverine, but rather the problem I had with inside Out 2, where the device cut in and out at times, making it hard for me to review that audio description track. I got enough to be able to enjoy the film, but I’ll probably rewatch this on MAX just to hear the track again. I was thinking, what might help, is for our devices to let us know how many bars we have. Like, if I chose a seat that is bad for reception, can it be like a cellphone? Can I get bars? I don’t want to just climb to the fucking back wall everytime. I never really sat back there when i could see, and as a person who worked for four different chains for about 11 years, the most gross shenanigans happen in the back row.
And then, in an era where we all now have assigned seating… if I come in and get 1 bar, do I have to drag my ass back out to change the ticket to a new seat?
There just must be a better way of doing this.
