gonna have to hit a 3 teamer here 'fore too long just to go see a movie
I love the movie-experience.
There's nothing like it.
I stopped going for probably 5-6 yrs, and started back a couple of years ago, and go all of the time now.
You can't compare watching a good movie on the big screen to at home.
Why can't people watch a two hour movie without eating ?
I hate movie theatres (sp), haven't been in one for at least 5 years. For one thing the volume is always WAY TOO LOUD ! It's so damn loud I'd honestly consider wearing earplugs. I wouldn't want to go with free passes. I'd gladly never go again for the rest of my life. There is so much available on regular TV with On demand plus the stuff on the net. Fading movie theatres would be a great bet....not sure how to do that, though !
All entertainment is way overpriced. I heard a bit on the radio yesterday about "tribute" bands doing really well lately. Bob seger and the like are way too expensive, so the fake bands do really well now.
AAA baseball is a much better value than MLB in places like Boston. The Redsox are unaffordable for many people, so go see the Pawsox instead ! I can't see paying literally like $300++ to take a family of 4 to a ballgame....unless you make 6 figures.
Movies are not even enjoyable, so much better at home now that most people have 50" + TV's anyway....if you don't have one, save the money ( Like $800) for one buy not going out to the movies.
