Agree on everything. I don't go to movies very much anymore, because some asshat always brings his fucking screaming kids into an adult PG-13 show simply because babysitters are making $10 an hour now and he can't afford it. That or you get the obligatory punk-teenager confrontation when you say "you want to stop kicking my seat guy?" only to have him and his four other 130lb friends then escalate it to the point where you have to go to jail for beating them down, or change seats.
It just sucks, lol.
Plus home theaters are getting so good now that the sound from my home system (I'm an HT geek) is far superior to most of the state-of-the-art theaters that have been built within the last few years, much to my neighbor's chagrin. Why should I pay $10 to get a lower-quality experience?
And it doesn't help that soild movies of late like say "Crash" failed, while the mediocre/generic comedy The Longest Yard will easily hit $200M. It does make me hopeful though when I see a movie like Batman Begins do well, we need more action films of that sort, and LESS like "National Treasure" or "Sahara" or the countless other cookie cutter films that were released this year.
