Are you talking about watching movies or going to a theater? I agree with you that torrent and the like are stealing, however, the last movie we saw in a theater was the True Grit remake in 2010, and we don't feel like our lives are empty.
Movies are played at ear-splitting sound levels such that dialogue is unintelligible and our heads ring for hours after leaving the theater. Philosophically, we don't like funding those who work for our destruction. Picking our battles, we don't have Netflix or Hulu, but we do have Amazon Prime.
We get movies from the library, occasionally buy a dvd, or see them on Amazon Prime.
Yes, my question could be clearer—watching at all, such as at home, and watching at the theater. I’d like both. We have Cinamark theatre with stadium seating, very nice, comfortable, but yes, even with month membership, a bit pricey. At home we have almost the same and can view on whole wall screen. Sound not as good in current setup, but that is fixable.
