After reading S Dog's recent thread, I was just curious how may people here still frequent the Movie Theater and to what extent? For me, I watch about 85 to 90% of new movies when they come out on DVD in the comfort of my own home. Over the last couple of years I have become more and more aggravated with the whole theater experience. Loud kids, cell phones, "talkers", frequent pee'ers, frequent fat arse eaters, smell, crowds, lines, etc. About the only time I go to the theater now is when I feel the movie would greatly benefit from the big screen and "big sound" of a big theater. Other than that, I would rather sit at home and watch a movie on my system in peace and quiet.

My wife forced me to go with her to see Shrek this last weekend and I almost strangled several kids and adults. I know it was Shrek and I should have known better than to expect peace and quite but, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Half the little snot-nosed brats were not even watching the movie but rather talking and laughing and screaming at each other. And don't even get me started on the kids!

So how about it, how often do you guys actually hit the theater these days?
