@blogdiva Movies and theaters both.

Why would I go to a theater? I've got a hundred inch screen, cheap snacks, a clean bathroom and the ability to pause the damn thing right here at home...what advantage is there to the theater? Louder audio maybe but that still won't cover up the screaming kiddos!

But the movies aren't the epic experience they used to be either. And I'm not talking about Michael Bay special effects. TV used to (mostly) be a short, self-contained, fairly light storyline while movies were able to do something much longer and more complex. Now TV is the one getting complicated plot lines designed for ten hour binges and movies can end up being what you turn to if you want something shorter and simpler. Movies just don't feel "big enough" to be the center of an entire night out anymore. Which also makes the twenty dollar box of popcorn feel even more insulting.

(...Says the guy who doesn't really do "nights out" to be fair lol)
