I can't stand being in a theater anyway.
1. I hate watching a movie to have it be ruined by noisy people, or worse noisy kids whose parents are too incompetent to shut them up.
2. It's horribly expensive. $17 per person for the movie, plus $20 per person for food and a drink.
For $20 I can buy 2 large pizzas, and feed 4 to 6 people. For $17, I could buy a half dozen movies, and have a movie marathon all weekend.
This is insane.
3. Lastly, and this is a personal pet peeve... Many movies suck. After I've blown all this money, and gathered all these people, the movie turns out to be trash, and then I find it difficult to walk out of the theater, so I end up staying and watching the trash to the end, and hating every single second of it.
Instead, if I buy a $2 movie, and it sucks, then I can just pop in one of the other good movies I have, and I'm fine. I only lost $2.
Top 5 films since 2000.....
Lord of the Rings series. The Hobbit wasn't too bad. Though not nearly as good.
Expendables series wasn't totally bad, if you like action.
Harry Potter series not so bad.
Matrix series. The second two were not as good, but still not bad in my book.
The Bourne series.
Honorable mentions... RED, Pirates of the Caribbean, Batman reboot, Inception, Hot Fuzz.
Fails include: Transporter series, GI Joke, Terminator Salvation, Battle L.A., Iron Man series. The Star Trek reboot didn't really work for me. Not sure why since I generally like SiFy, but it just didn't work for me that well.
