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.

resp:147 Ah yes... this is why I like Celebration Cinemas- comfy chairs
and do it yourself drinks (so only as much ice as you'd like).

I usually drink water at the theater so I dont have an issue with the
ice thing. I do prefer to go to theaters with comfortable seats. My
favorites around this area are Showcase and the new theaters in
Brighton.

I keep a case of bottle water and case of v8 in my vehicle so I dont have to
stop for crappy overpriced drinks on my commutes.  I'll have to figure out
a strategy though when Summer rolls around.  Tomato soup in a can isn't my
kinda drink.

Bloody Mary Mixer is often a zestier and more interesting choice.

I will at least give them credit for not blaming "piracy" for the
small dip in theater revenue (unless you count Jon's joke about it.)
