Oh, but this is easy ) Get a DVD from the library (at practically no
cost - a.k.a. free!) and do everything at home!!! Best part, there's no
extra company or crowd! The best seats are already there

Sky, who'd rather save the cost and stay at home

P.S. Extra benefit, no exposure to potential unfluenza bugs

I don't eat at the movies. Even I can go a couple of hours

sneak in a bottle of water for my husband.

Sometimes I sprinkle on a little cayenne.

Diet coke.

Hell, I don't know what's sold at movies. Raisinets?

Hard to say. I know we usually only go to the movies
to see things that have a lot of special effects. Otherwise,
we stay home and rent the DVD. Based on the thrust
of the survey, I'd probably have to say SFF, too.

Why would you need to sneak water?

I don't eat at the movies either. I can go a couple hours without eating
or drinking, and I don't like those movie snacks enough to pay those
outrageous prices.

I might be part of the small percentage of people who does not enjoy
popcorn.

Popcorn's good, but way overpriced at the Cinema.

Neither, we generally go to an evil family owned drive in. The place is

french fries at the snack bar. I seldom fry stuff at home so they are a
nice treat.

You have good taste in chocolate. <g> Lindt is my personal favorite too.
We often sneak snacks into the movie as concession prices are assinine.

I most often wait for it to come out on DVD, but it really depends on
the movie. I've not been to the theatre now for a good 8 years or so.
Too easy to emulate it at home for a lot better price!

And I can use _real_ butter on my popcorn. <g>

The big screen is very cool. :-) I remember watching one of the Star
Trek movies at the Imax. "The Undiscovered Country". The explosion of
the Klingon moon was awesome.

We also saw "Titanic" at the Imax.

Ok. :-) It's just generally part of the "theatre experience" for many.
Doing popcorn at home with a good Margarita and a DVD works too.

Tough questions. I can't remember the last time I went to the movies. We
took the grandkids to see Aladdin some years ago. Before that, maybe took
the kids to some movie. Maybe went twice in the past 30 years or so.

For me, 2.5 yrs ago, to see The Bourne Ultimatum. Fact: hand held
cinematography is tolerable for tv, but it sucks on the big screen.
Damn near got seasick. Before that, the LOTR trilogy, so maybe 4
times in last 15 yrs. Movies are currently SO BAD, I don't even
bother renting, anymore.

Otherwise, popcorn w/ diet coke.

You're not alone. But then, I don't see a whole lot of movies
for whatever reason. Three or four a year. Most recently
Christmas Carol in 3D.

I was just not interested in Titanic. I go to the movies probably
once a month on average. I am planning on seeing A Christmas Carol
in 3D this weekend with a friend and their kids. Was it any good?

I really enjoyed it, it was so imaginative and great 3D. I'd go again.
It's one of my favorite stories to start with, of course.

It is expensive these days, and there are usually a lot of hassles. I
can rent a DVD for less than admission for one at the theatre. I can
skip through the trailers. I don't have to wait in line for tickets,
wait through paid advertising. I don't have to listen to people talking
through the movies, asking dumb questions and making idiotic comments.
I have a decent LCD flat screen TV and stereo system. It is not the big
screen, but the price and privacy, being able to stop to go to the
washroom and much cheaper snacks, if necessary, make it a good deal for me.

I don't much enjoy the movie theatre experience. We go out to see live
theatre a lot more than we go to movies.

Plus, the audio is played so loudly you need earplugs.

The last current-release major-studio movie I saw in a theatre was
the remake of "The Quiet American". Since then I have seen
a couple revivals and film-festival thingies.

But I'm a fair Netflix addict, with MI-5 usually at the top
of the queue.

Most end up pretty quickly on cable anyways, why waste time going out to see
the flix in the first place...and movie audiences are mainly rude
insufferable pigs these days in any case, who needs it...

Just saw the Keanu Reeves remake of _Day The Earth Stood Still_ on cable,
GAWD does it SUCK...

The only "saving grace" in the mess is Jon Hamm playing a scientist. His
most prominent role of course is as adman Don Draper on _Mad Men_, and I
kept thinking, "WTF is DON DRAPER doing in this movie...!!!???". Honestly,
it was like an extremely lame SNL parody...

How they can spend so much $$$ making krap movies...
