I finally enjoy going to the movies again.

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I stopped going to theaters about 3 years ago - crowds of annoying people, expensive tickets, cramped seating, volume too loud or too quiet . . etc. etc.

Eventually I discovered that I much more enjoyed staying home and watching movies on DVD - 36" Wega XBR and a modest surround system are more than enough to feed my movie addiction.
A couple of weeks ago I went to go see the Warriors at a refurbished 1930's theater - $3 admission and you can bring pitchers of Sierra Nevada in with you. There are super comfy old springy vinyl seats and they've ripped out every third row of seats for narrow litle tables to put your drink. Oh - and no one under 21 allowed in after 6:00! It was great - this is how movies were meant to be seen. Last week we saw the Road Warrior in original widescreen . . and they do in fact show new releases, too. Lots of room for elbows and feet and a place to put your beer - can't beat it.
I still like my DVDs at home for the best sound . . but I finally enjoy going out to the movies again. If you have one of these theaters in your town, I definitely recommend checking it out.
