I haven't been to the theatre in a few years now.
And I haven't had cable or TV for a couple years either, things really seem to be changing.
I just watch things streaming like netflix, and I order DVDs and watch them at home on the big screen. It's so much more comfortable than sitting with a bunch of strangers talking and crinkling their candy wrappers. I never have to watch commercials. I can drink or smoke if I so choose, and I can pause it whenever I want to go to the bathroom.
To me it is superior it almost every way! Maybe just not as fun to fool around with your SO during a film though
Theres nothing I wanna see.... The last thing I saw in a movie theather was DIE HARD 4: Live free of die hard (I saw it 4 or 5 times (please log in to view the image))
All the movie theaters near me have gone to DIGITAL also which I dont care for....... I like natural analog MUCH BETTER....
I still go, mostly when my kids insist or when its something i feel i really want to see on a big screen.
Its not as much fun as when i was a kid though, growing up in New York. Personally i think the experience has lost some of its grandeur.
I'll give Star Wars a shot cause of Abrams and the assortment of actors, it's such a massive scale too with the 4 billion Lucas has put into it.
Dramatic quality on all fronts.

Huh, I was thinking this was going to be about traditional theatre. Like with plays and shit.

I don't know if going to the movie theater is going to be the same experience in the coming years. I'm kind of worried that Spielberg's and Lucas's prediction that eventually studios will just make a small number of blockbusters per year that cost $60-$70 a ticket while everything else goes to streaming or to television. Until that day comes, I'll still go. As convenient as Netflix and the internet in general is, I just like experience of getting out of the house and being a part of a communal experience.
And going to the movies is the only way you can think of doing that?

There's no operas around here, but in NWY there are. She's privileged to be so successful and to live in such an areas as she does. She takes pride in it I think.

Give up the telly? What are you? Mad??????
But yeah, I haven't had a TV subscription ever. I stream and torrent and listen to Podcasts and watch youtube instead....
I'll go to the theatre once or twice a year. Cause it can be a fun experience, going out with my girlfriend or friends or whatevs. Sadly the only Cinema showing English language films in the original is 40 mins away, or I'd go more often prolly. ****ing expensive that shit tho.
