I think the reason they recycle these old TV shows is because it's a known quantity. The studios don't want to take big risks on a movie even if the plot is good.Originally Posted by macro

Ha ha, Piqua is the WORST place I know of to watch a movie. When I went to the Cinemark Movies 6 Cinema there we had an entire theater threatened with arrest, a couple having sex in the theater, people smking marijuana in the theater, kids stealing marquee signs on their way into the theater. I gave up a long time ago and started going to the Dayton area, long before I moved down here, to catch my flicks.Originally Posted by MrCinatit
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
Oh, I don't disagree with you, Chip. The problem I have is that McDonald's is a known quantity, as well, and I would equate much of what rolls out of Hollywood as the cinematic equivalent to fast food.Originally Posted by Chip R
Help stamp out, eliminate, and do away with redundancy.
My big complaint with going to the movies right now is the commercials that play before the films. I'm not talking about the previews, I love those, but the ads for soft drinks, video games and standonline.org. There is already enough product placement in today's Hollywood films, I don't need to watch commercials at the theater as well. With commercials at the theater and edgier, better written television shows, the gap between the two is increasingly shortening.

The $10,000+ fine that the FCC levies for devices that jam wireless phone signals will probably prevent that from happening. Nothing to stop companies from building theatres with wire mesh in the walls to prevent wireless phone signals from going in and out, though.Originally Posted by TeamDunn

The only time I go to a theater any more is for indie flicks. The Esquire and the Mariemont are both great theaters, resources that Cincinnati movie fans should be proud of. I am an Ohio State student and it's been hard to find something comparable in Columbus, so whenever I'm home in Cincy, I try to take in a film or two at the Esquire. The movies they show at the arthouses are hard to find in video stores, so that's how I justify the expenditure.
The last mainstream movie I saw in a theater was "Vanity Fair" at the Westchester Rave last summer. Why should I pay $8 to see a movie? I can rent it for free at the library or for a couple bucks at Blockbluster. What is the point?
If theaters lowered prices to say, $5, I would have no problem going. But an $8 ticket is simply absurd.
Finishing up my HT this weekend. Like most people have said, I don't make it to the theater much any longer. I do like going, however, and will continue to see "Star Wars"-esque features, I'm sure.

I will check it out, though.
TiVo is great.
I don't go to the theater unless it's a "must see" movie I have to catch opening weekend (and that doesn't happen too much.) I saw "Revenge of the Sith" and plan on seeing "Batman Begins" and "Fantastic Four" (though I have free tickets to that one.)
Hollywood shouldn't freak out too much just yet, the summer movie season is just starting.

Go Gators!
I saw SW3-RotS on opening night, and the theater was PACKED! me and a friend sat outside for 2hrs in a line and we got the last two tickets and they gave us free lightsabers and everything, it was awesome, so that brought movie theaters up a couple notches on my stick
Let's make some noise!

Actually, a movie is a great place to spend a summer afternoon when you want to do something but it's too hot to do anything else. Matinee prices aren't all that bad, and there's not much at the snackbar I can eat.
