OrgussSpeaking of movies, when was the last time you went to a movie theater?
Last week to see
1917. I started going to a theater one stop down the highway from work. They have reserved seating in all theaters and a decent amount of restaurants around it.

Pale HorseA couple months. I enjoy going to the theater and don’t seem to have the problems others do with rude people.
I will say I very rarely go on opening weekend for anything. I reserve seats or get there early to get good seats. I tend to go to smaller theaters and I tend to go during off hours to avoid huge crowds.

rat2306About 15 months; have been hoping to go very soon and see "1917". Last movie was around Christmas-time 2018, and of course it was "The Grinch" remake. Ticket, popcorn and Coke was $22 IIRC.

jljonesMid Last year when my son dragged me to see End Game.
I won't go back until the silly, grade school assigned seating goes away. Kinda wanted to see the new Bad Boys, but guess I'll wait until it comes out on Amazon.

creedbratton2a few weeks back saw 1917. I wait a while after something comes out so I can go see it in a pretty empty theater.

YooperSigsSeveral years for me too. When I see something that interests me, I just think it will be streaming or on cable soon.

Most recently my youngest and I saw The Rise of Skywalker after bingeing all 8 previous movies.

r0gueWe go a handful of times a year. Movie and dinner with the family. It isn't cheap, but this time is so fleeting. The years roll by. Went last weekend for Knives Out. It was enjoyable enough.

CliffAbout a year ago. Can't even remember what I saw. We really enjoyed watching Endgame on our sofa, being able to pause it for bathroom breaks & more beer.

That was also the last movie I watched in a theater.
Once the big flatscreens became readily available I lost all interest in sitting in a theater.
Now that I have a young kid though I am considering giving it another shot for something to do......

cslinger‘Bout 45 minutes ago. Munchkin and I saw the new Jumanji. Both enjoyed. I even had popcorn and a soda. Now the last time I had popcorn and a soda in a theatre was “Cowboys and Aliens” so 2011ish.

PHPaul1980 +/-. Took my baby daughter to see the midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show.
40 years would be a pretty good guess.
Not sure there even IS one within 50 miles of here.

WaterburyBobIt's been at least fifteen years since my wife and I have gone to the movies.
We would much rather watch them from home.
