The collective experience of screaming children, talking adults, back of seat getting kicked, others stepping on your feet to get out of the row without enough room for reasonable passing, seats too small/broken, coughing/sneezing germ sharing. Along with the high price of tickets (even my student pass doesn't bring it down to a reasonable price), overpriced, over salty, over iced/watered down food and drinks. Yeah, real appealing. We do go to some first run movies, maybe 2-3 a year. Since Briarwood Theater has reopened at $1 before 6pm and $1.50 after and $0.50 all day Tuesday, we have seen a few more on the big screen. Frankly, I prefer to watch them in the comfort of my own home where I can eat reasonable snacks and pause for potty breaks if needed. Sometimes I watch them alone on my computer, sometimes I get the good collective experience of watching them with my family on the TV. And I haven't seen a theater yet that will allow me to watch a movie while cuddling and petting the cat(s) in my lap.
