I think it has something to do with being away from social media, just a few weeks ago I saw someone taking selfies while the movie was playing..
As someone who goes to the movies monthly, I just don't get it. Watching a movie on big screen with amazing sound is so much better then watching it at home.

I enjoy seeing movies on the big screen but I always like watching them at home so I can pause to go to the restroom, sit on my own couch and not have to listen to punks talking during the movie.

But that is just me....


On a side note, glad the sabers are charged up. Looks like strong storms coming and I may need to use them as lanterns tonight.  Tongue

I love seeing films on the big screen, but time, money and energy (as it is a huge ordeal to go the movies in my area) prevent me from seeing every movie I want to see.  So I am very selective, basically marvel films, Disney/Pixar and Star Wars (Disney gets all my money).  Reason being those bigger films are always best seen on the big screen first.  But dramas, comedies, suspense etc will be just as good on the screen at home.

Yeah to go to a movie with popcorn and a soda cost about $20 a person now. If you add candy or go to a place with real food and adult drinks the price can sky rocket! So I can see how some younger people can't go often. Me and my kids love going to the movies.

This is probably the sad truth. As a younger person myself I don’t understand the constant need to be on a device. There’s better things to do.

I don't watch too many films myself, but that's mostly because I prefer serialized TV shows. Just my personal preference.

Because she looks over my shoulder and comments on how great the forum seems all the time.

This time show her directly:

Listen up BatGirlfriend90, you need to sign up for the forum. Shenanigans will ensue. You will enjoy it.

it is on now! the theatre is advertising US with "the last jedi ." full tilt, no holds barred! this is officially OUR show! the theatre just happens to be our stage.  Grin

Now is this the Thursday night show or the official Friday night opening?

Right. Those two words should never be used together again.

What are you talking about, you still sit at the kids' table.

speaking of the Young, I am truly baffled by today's youth, and I am not even that old.  Speaking to a couple of employees (both at least 10 years younger than me), getting to know them so to speak, films came up.  Both of them answered they have little time to watch films and never have, saying that was to long to sit in one place.  I have heard this answer before from those below 30.  As a child up through being a teenager I watched many films...but I also played video games, played/worked outside, hung out with friends and family, roamed the miles of woods around me, did my school work etc. 

OMG, what did I unleash? Finally a new topic. My sophomore year of college I filled much time with model building. All but one of the guys on the floor would see me and watch for a few while I put these together. This one idiot constantly made it known that he could never sit still long enough to build something. I was like "You want a cookie?" I'm the one with ADHD, but I can sit still long enough (3-4hrs).

But then there are some that just think "smelling the roses" takes too long. Undecided Their loss.

I have never heard that, but it does not at all surprising. They say the average attention span of people is getting shorter.

Thank you Apple, for you unparalleled contribution to the downfall of society. Angry



Soon this will be a "normal" conversation.


It is. I have seen in first hand with my nephews and my girlfriend's nephews.

I have a cousin whose daughter is only ever appeased by being given whatever device is on-hand that she can watch YouTube on. She's 4-ish. The others all seem pretty normal.....-ish.

...I saw someone taking selfies while the movie was playing..

That's when I would spontaneously smack someone while the movie was playing.

I love seeing films on the big screen, but time, money and energy (as it is a huge ordeal to go the movies in my area) prevent me from seeing every movie I want to see.  So I am very selective, basically marvel films, Disney/Pixar and Star Wars (Disney gets all my money).  Reason being those bigger films are always best seen on the big screen first.  But dramas, comedies, suspense etc will be just as good on the screen at home.

Can not agree more. Big effects/graphics get seen at the show (if budget allows). Anything less eventually gets viewed on the small screen.

today feels like a Kraft Easy Mac and beer for lunch day.

Today feels like it should be Friday. This weather is killing me. I slept 11hrs Friday night, 6 on Saturday night, and took a 4hr nap on Sunday. I still didn't want to wake up this morning.
