Given that I have three very small kids, my wife and I don’t go to movies very often. We saw “Avengers” and “Dark Knight Rises” and I believe my wife and her mother took our oldest daughter to see “Brave” and “Beauty and the Beast 3D”, but that’s about it.
I do enjoy going to see movies on the big screen, but the prices are getting ridiculous, and they full-on demand that we disarm ourselves while providing no additional security of their own. Home theater systems have been making a sizable dent in theater profits, and I do have a good home theater system...
The theater we went to in WA was in a potentially ghetto area (at least, the patrons were ghetto), so I still carried every time we went, just in case. They and their signs can go to hell.
My goal is to eventually duplicate a full on mini version of my own movie house, a row of decent movie seats or recliners, a digital projector on no less than a 10 foot screen, a good sound system. Full soundproofing so I can enjoy the sound as its supposed to sound like.
And to have closed captioning. My own gourmet popcorn with SALT. I actually do have a room with a 12’ ceiling designed for a projector but its my hobby room right now, no I would rather invest in better widescreen TV equipment than to go to the movies anymore, being first to see a new movie hype is lost to me.
