lets look at this from my point of view for a sec.
when my movie theatre starts charging resonable rates (ie: currently $10.50 per adult, plus any concessions ), then movies will start to look attractive again.
no philosophy here, just a cheap-ass who'd rather spend $5 bucks to rent the DVD or $20 to buy it and watch it over and over!!!!
the math in my area is pretty easy to do.

Dman,I've got the same disease. How many times do you find yourself scanning the paper to see what films are on at what times etc, and end up mumbling "Hmmm, My Best Friend's Wedding Singer's Bride's Wedding Planner...wait for the video, Hmmm, Dude, Where's My Exit Wounds?..wait for the video,etc. etc.
A new film has to have pretty high recommendations from a friend, or a reviewer you trust before it's worth the expense and aggravation that an outing to the cinema entails thses days. It's not that it's so expensive, but the resentment you feel at paying for the privelege of seeing a "dud" and having to put up with audiences who do not know how to behave in public places is very bad value.
Which means you often end up missing movies which may have been worth seeing at the cinema.
