When was the last time you went to the Cinema?
Discussion
I've taken the kids a couple of times in the last few years, because you have to experience the big screen as a kid. And I went with a friend to watch Ford vs. Ferrari.
I never enjoy it. People everywhere. Strangers sitting right next to me. Talking in front of me. Crunching behind me. No legroom, uncomfortable seats, overpriced tickets, insanely priced snacks, sticky floors....
I would rather sit on my own sofa, eating my own snacks, with my own big TV and speakers, and watch 5 or 10 rental movies instead.

Avatar, over 10 years ago. I have never been a fan because it is the most antisocial social thing you can do. “Hey friends. Let’s go out but sit in a dark room and not talk to each other.” Added to that is the other people who decide to socialize in said dark room ruining the experience for everyone else.
I did take my daughter to a party at a cinema where the kids parent had rented the entire (small) place. That did seem more reasonable but my daughter was scared of the film so we went to Dunkin’ Donuts while the film played.
I do enjoy a good film though so have a projector set up in my basement. Before COVID, we would have all the kids friends over and they can watch what they want, how they want.
