It's not worth the hassle of higher ticket prices and assholes with cellphones or crowded theaters unless it's FUCKING AWESOME anymore.
DVD sales continue to set record levels. My cable bill is around $160/mo.
The US Dollar blows. Gas prices are high, dragging the price of many other things higher along with it as transportation costs rise.
I'll wait for the DVD.

Brujah!!! How ya' doin'? Always the voice of wisdom round these parts.
You're right about DVD sales. The only reason to make a movie nowadays. Movies nowadays are commercials for the DVD.
People don't want to go to the movies because it's become a compounding inconvenience.
I was at the movies to see ROTS and the concession stand guy sold a guy a hot dog and forgot to put the hotdog IN the bun. So dude comes out to the stand and says like, " Dude! Like where's my weeny yo? "
We all cracked up!
Rotten parking, traffic jams, high priced food, gang members in the audience.... movies don't suck the movie theatres do.
There's the Arc Light here in Los Angeles. It's like going to the movies on the Starship Enterprise. Problem is it's expensive as heck! I went to a movie there a friend had produced. I had to buy a ticket and two hot dogs, medium popcorn and medium soda and it all came to $36!!!
That was AFTER the discount! I woulda gotten in free if I had met up with my pal but there was too much press in the way. Even then I would have spent close to $20 for food!
Crazy!
