Last movie I watched in a movie theatre was The Walk at the LA Chinese Imax
theatre. Never been inside the theatre before. I have a home theatre room with
a 138 inch wide image from my Panasonic AE8000 3D projector and 5.1 sound
system so, why go to a theatre?

I have found that going to the ArcLight cinemas lends itself to an audience
interested in behaving. Most likely because they charge a little bit more so
you aren't bombarded with annoying ads before the film. All they show are
trailers. Also they don't let anyone in ten minutes after the movie has
started.

Regarding that issue that Robert mentioned about rude audiences in theaters.
Alamo Drafthouse here in Austin keeps audiences polite by throwing out
disrupters, texters, talkers. It works too.

I mostly watch movies at home. I am privy to numerous free screenings through
the WGA and SAG. I also pay to see some films. Generally those are the ones I
feel warrant a big screen/audience experience. Hanging out with friends after a
film and discussing it over dinner afterward is part of that experience.
Since the advent of big screens for the home I confess I am less inclined to
see the average film at a theater.

Ha, both of my assistants have/use VCRs, which became obsolete 20 years ago!
Ticket prices have been stable, inflation-adjusted:

Througout the VHS era I was contemptuous of home video because of the poor
picture quality and, initially at least, the sound was mono. DVD raised the
bar a bit. Blu-Ray and 4K and the fact that I am fortunate enough to own an
Oppo to play them and an LG OLED TV, clearly one of the best screens I have
ever seen, have really meant that I see more films at home than I do in
theaters. Still, I think you get something at the theaters that you will never
get at home. You don’t have to answer the phone or the front door. The screen
is big. The audience is live and experiencing the film with you.
In my opinion, ticket prices at the theaters are too high. Do any of the rest
of you feel that way?

I watched tons o' movies when I was a youngling, but I'm 49 now and my entire
post-college life have attended a movie theater once/twice a year, if that
much. I never paid for cable TV and have never used a DVR, so rarely watched
them at home.
Now that I'm not working I'm the King of Free Time and have hitch-hiked to
theaters to see "fun"/roller-coaster thrills/sci-fi movies like:
Blade Runner 2049 (twice)
Wonder Woman (twice)
SW:TLJ (this week, partly spoiled after I unwisely skimmed a negative user
review)
Murder on the Orient Express
Close Encounters 40th
Justice League
I also feel obligated to support historical films in theaters:
Dunkirk
Darkest Hour (future)
The Post (future)
The gameplan was to watch lotsa movies on pretty-cheap streaming services like
Netflix/HBO/etc. but so far I've only watched a grand total of two (Wizard of
Lies/DeNiro and SW:R1). Why? Too busy entertaining/terrorizing several online
forums and watching 3-4 hours per day of MSNBC news shows and infotainment
shows like The Today Show.
How about you - and also does watching movies motivate you to buy the MP (yes,
almost always for me)?
