Things you listed are parts of Murican way of life, not a part of cinema experience. Ppl around the world mostly use bikes or public transit or at least taxi to go to the cinema. In my local cinema they serve nice salads beside traditional pop-corn.
And even more. I really hate IT and do it just for money, but since IT jobs pays well and don't require more than 8 hours a day, I can finally dedicate myself to things I'm really interested in, i.e. learning new languages, visiting new places, buying rare and expensive books on my favorite subjects.
