Ya, if you ask a 1000 people why they no longer go to the movies they will all tell you its because of the Ads, the cost, and the hassel.
They would rather stay home and buy the movie on DVD or rent it rather than pay $50.00 to sit in a crowded theater with a bunch of people who won't shut the hell up, are often sick, and get up and walk in front of you every five minutes when they can sit in the comfort of their own homes, eat microwaved popcorn and watch the movie on their new 52" plasma big screen.
Hollywood likes to cry foul and blame the lack luster box office sales on piracy but in truth its the adds, the theater costs for treats, the hassels, and the tick prices that have turned people to the lower cost of DVD's and jiffy pop pop corn.

Amen to that, Atro!
When I go, it's really my wife and me, so that's $16.00 just for tickets! And these days, GAS to get there.
Heck, we usually wait for the DVD and buy it, lay on our bed and watch the movie in our bedroom on our 56 inch Sony where the sound is driven by a Yamaha digital amp to a Bose surround sound system. Only went to see Serenity to help with box office totals.
