I don't go to the theater because I don't really like having to get there early to get a good seat, not being able to adjust the volume to my liking, the occasional child who wont shut up, or the crying baby, the group of teenagers that are being jackasses, the extortionist food/drink prices.
I have a 46" HDTV sitting at my home with a 1TB drive dedicated to serving movies, music, and tv shows. I don't have to watch a single commercial, I don't have to hear a single distraction, I have the most comfortable seat in the house, i'm in control of the volume AND the temperature of the room, the floor isn't sticky, I can eat healthy food during the movie instead of utter junk, or I can order pizza, and I never have to hear "i don't have enough money" if I ask them if they want to come watch a movie.
There is a reason that netflix is and will continue to be the most popular service out there dealing in movies.
That said, I do "put out" and spend my money on blu-ray (overpriced as it may be) if the movie is a 5 star title in MY BOOK. I don't necessarily like what everyone else likes.
