I love, love, love going to the theater. Getting that bucket of buttered popcorn for $15 or whatever, a big ol' Cherry Coke and sitting back and taking in a good flick.
That said I've been to movie theaters about 3 times in the past 4 years. I download movies to my AppleTV and watch them on my HDTV. Well not just me, my wife, kids, friends, family... we all watch the movies on my HDTV. But honestly, I'm doing society a favor. I have two kids, ages 2 and 4. Our families are not exactly forthcoming in offers to watch them so my wife and I get maybe one date night every 2 or 3 months and rarely for enough time to drive to a theater, find parking, watch the flick and then drive home. Instead we grab dinner somewhere.
So instead of being "that parent" and bringing kids that are simply not well behaved enough to sit still for 90 - 120 minutes I download what I want to see and watch it in the comfort of my own home where my kids can run around, make as much noise as they want and we can pause the flick if a diaper needs changing.
So see? Service to society.
