    Or perhaps a D. I don't really keep an accurate count.
  • but this is unusally for me, I am away from home and that is why I went to the movies more.

  • I usually go every other weekend but with my hernia last month and half the month before I didn't go out much. The local art house theater usually turns over some interesting indie films about once a month which is where I spend most of my dollars. Depending on quality levels, I might see a Hollywood production film maybe 5 times a year, if that.
  • Probably around 6. While the lady was in Japan, I was watching a lot of movies. Since she's returned I've drug her out to go see Daredevil and Cradle 2 The Grave. C2TG was just to see Mark Dacascos, since I studied under his dad [unl.edu].

  • E. I don't watch TV either. (And when I say that, I don't mean, "I don't watch it *much*", I mean "I don't watch it *at all*.") I'm just the life of the party, lemme tell you.

    Actually, I take that back. We did take our kids out to see both of the Harry Potter movies in the theaters. That's the only time in the past five years or so that I've set foot inside a theater.
  • I go see a movie, on average, once a week.

    There aren't many movies I want to see in theatres. I think the last times I went were for LOTR, Star Wars, and Spider-Man.
  • Not only was it only once, but it was also to the cheapy theater... however that place happens to be one of the most beautiful theaters around: an old vaudville era thing that's completel restored and happens to have a complete digital surround system.
  • No I haven't. Thank you netflix and 57" big screen tv with 9,356 speakers attached. Spiderman farts, it shakes the room.

    So, my answer is A.

  • And I think two of those were with my three-year-old. Jonah, and something else I've probably blotted out of my brain.

  • B, but just barely. Saw Harry Potter and James Bond in the theatres. Local theatre sucks, prices are too high, and movies suck ass. I prefer to watch 'em at home. But, in another year or two, I'm sure I'll be dumping my hard earned geld into the pockets of Michael Eisner.
    • Saw Harry Potter and James Bond in the theatres

      Sounds familiar. I saw Equilibrium last week, but before that, I can only think of four others I've seen in the last year -- Harry Potter, James Bond (a freebie from work), The Two Towers, and Episode II.

  • I saw LOTR: The Two Towers on the big screen.
  • Yep, saw it in the theatre because I had to. And because I was in X-mas break in North Dakota, and what else are you gonna do in North dakota?! (luckily, MIL got a schweet laptop and cable modem)

    I'd rather DVD at home. These days, I'd rather work 7 days a week and take 2 part-time engineering classes. Fun is for suckers.

    Saw a bunch of movies over winter break, nothing else since then.
  • Would that I could type only "C" into the comment, but, alas, I have been filtered.
  • Haven't been near a cinema since the end of 2001.

    Last two films I went out to see were `Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon` (subtitled version) and `Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone'. The former was great, the latter great but VERY LOUD (my head was still ringing ten minutes after I'd left the multiplex!)

    Before that, would have been `Alien: Resurrection` (ugh, brain fade, forget what year that was). I'm not really a movies person, I suppose.
  • Sometimes I just can't help but indulge.

    I've seen "Attack of the Clones", "The Two Towers", and "Daredevil".

    BTW the Seattle area is blessed with several excellent theaters including the Paul Allen owned Cinerama [seattlecinerama.com].

    A DVD or HDTV feed to a plasma panel and an excellent sound system is a great way to see movies and is a match for many theaters but it still isn't as good as a top-notch movie theater.
  • I have a better surround system than most of the theaters around here, I can get the DVD for the cost of about 3 movie tickets, and I don't have to put up with stupid rednecks or yappy high schoolers.

    I go to see the big geek movies though... LOTR and SW, and the occasional comedy when whatever girl I'm talking to at the time drags me there. I've pretty much managed to dodge all the chick flicks for a year, though.

  • Hell, we just saw one at the cheapie theatre (only $3.00 canadian for the both of us so that's like $0.02 US :) lol) but it was bad :(. Movie was "Biker Boys", but it was basically a commercial for tricked out motorcycles. The GF and I go see a movie almost at least once a week if not more than once. Hell she even collects the movie stubs and has a picture album of all of 'em. Last good movie (in terms of entertainment quality) was Cradle 2 the Grave which was a good 'Jet Li Kicks ass' movie, and like X
