I’d go see movies in theaters, but they are too everything for my tastes, for just a movie. And movies haven’t been very good for like a while, so the movie itself isn’t enough of a draw anymore.

Too cold, too loud, too many people, too sticky, too expensive, and too far of a drive.

I used to live near a theater that had a bar and restaurant, and each seat had a table and a little light for placing orders during the movie. It was a great way to spend the afternoon, because the movie tickets themselves were fairly cheap; the draw was the food and alcohol. So we’d get a group of people together and go sit through 3-4 movies in a day, pigging out sharing food and talking between screenings (they only had two screens, and played a variety of stuff). That was worth it.
