I almost never go to a theater to see a movie. It's not a money issue, I just can't sit in one place for 2+ hours. I keep thinking of all the other things I could be doing. I usually wait until video -- that way I can pause and get up whenever I want.
I have to take a shower to go to a theater to see a movie (right before, not a few hours before,...I don't know why.) It usually has to be a movie that I really think is well worth it as well...
For some reason, I usually end up going to a movie hungry. I'll end up having the regretable hotdog and a box of chocolate something... BTW, i agree with mrs.JB, I'd rather wait until its on DVD or something then watch at my leisure.
I almost always go into a movie without high expectations, that way you can't really be disappointed too much. There really havn't been any movies in recent memory (past couple of years) that i've gone to see at the theater and been upset that I spent the money to see it. Movies I've really enjoyed since last summer at the theater: Swordfish, Undercover Brother, Rat Race, American Pie 2, Spiderman, and Star Wars Ep. 2.
It's usually like 2 am after the bars close, and I'm drunk, horny, and struck out again with the girls.
