I am beyond totally with you on this one! We LIVE by Netflix and every once in a while I will TAKE MYSELF to the movies cause I so do NOT want to deal with everything you talked about. I took myself to see Night at the Museum (agree with you on the review) and will likely take myself to see my bud Harry….otherwise, Netflix it is.

Yay, caught up. Ok, yay to holidays, ice cream, girl scout parties and, did I say icecream? And I’m so glad our cinema isn’t like thta. We only have one in my hometown so our choice is smallish, but it;s always mostly ok. The ones in Nottingham and Sheffield though – sound just like that one, shiver. And I have to get my kids to the cinema soon. M hasn’t been yet but I think she’d love it. MWah.

Amen!
CamiKaos should be a movie theater critic.
‘Cause those big ones suck.

one of the problems with taking on the @140moviereview monniker is now i am destined to go see movies i jez don’t wanna see: like the one you mentioned. 2 more hours of ben stiller doing his angry young man schtick & getting slapped by monkeys? pass. but go i will, because i vow not to review w/o seeing. but you’re right about cost & inconvenience. if you’re gonna spend _that_ much, might as well get a decent meal (not just over-priced junky snacks), or even better, booze. for this i _highly_ recommend living room theaters down town or cinetopia in vancouver (tho’ the cinetopia experience is not that much better in how they file people into the theater, just the good food & booze is the same). the booze might make you & dr. normal a wee bit less cranky. tho’ i don’t know if they have much faire for li’l’ k at living room, unless she’s an ultra precocious child who loves french independent films a lot.

Sounds a little like our theatres… except ours are cheap comparatively. They’re badly maintained, and the seats are often shitty and wobbly, and my sweetheart is too big for the seats… but we still enjoy the big screen experience!

we saw that movie this weekend, too. I had the same reaction to it. Funny, but “eh”
We were the law breakers smuggling in our own candy. We only paid a dollar for it.
We had gift certificates to the big theater, so the movie was free.
What I really hated, was all the “previews”. At our theater, you could have taken K to the bathroom 10 times and not missed the beginning of the movie. It was horrid.

I hate hate hate going to the movie theater. Which is why I totally love Netflix. I would rather wait.

No wonder people like to get DVD’s etc and watch things from the comfort of their own home, Cami! That’s an awful (not to mention expensive!) night out!

I loathe the movie theater. The last time I went, I saw Dark Knight in IMAX at Bridgeport Village. Waited in line for an hour. When they started letting people in, they were running. Running! And then the teenagers… So much prefer a beer and popcorn at the Laurelhurst.
