Oh I have stopped long time ago watching movies at theaters. Even before recession hasn't started yet.
I am not so comfortable watching in movie theaters. When I watch movies I'd like to sit with my legs up on the chair. Sometimes I watch lying on the couch with snacks and drinks. I can have the snacks and drinks in theaters but I cannot sit comfortably while watching.
Besides, CDs and DVDs are much cheaper than movie fees and I can the movie over and over again.
Ciao!

I dun think movie tickets over at your side is more expensive than in singapore right?? hehe ^_^ Over here, a movie ticket for weekdays cost about $7.50 while on weekends, it's $9.50.. lol =D BUt still, that does not stop many of us from watching movies in the cinema.. hehe ^_^
I guess it's the atmosphere and good movies which makes us wanna watch it fast, rather than waiting for those DVDs to be released.. haha =D My most recent trip to the movies was just a few days ago.. lol =D

No, never again. The last time a watch movie at theater is on around 2008(Last Movie i saw on theater X-Man Last Standing) after that I always watch movie on DVD Player. It's more relaxing watching from TV rather than Theater, you can pause, rewind, forward or even stop the movie whatever you want.

Yeah .. I agree with you.
watching movie in home on DVD player of Home theater is more relax and enjoy and the important can save some money
but is different when watching on theater, we can socialite and hang-out with friends. that's feel is don't get when watching movie in home.

The last time I watch movie in Movie theater is about 5 years ago, maybe that is also the last time for watching movie in theater in life, actually it almost not to watch DVD movie and TV for me. the first reason is what I have not so much time to do that, the second one is waht I am studying sutra of Buddhism nowaday, that is way I sign in mylot rarely.
by the way, I enjoyed watching movie in Movie theater before, and enjoyed doing that alone.

The last movie I went to see was The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe back in December 2005! Number one, the movie theater near me doesn't play many great movies, two tickets are too high. I actually find it cheaper to buy a DVD movie. If it's a movie I sense I'll like I'll buy it. And yes, while DVDs are actually more than the price of a theater ticket the one advantage is that I can watch the movie over and over, and over again

It is long time for me to watch movies in the theater,long time,the last i had watched movie in the theater almost a year ago,yeah, it has been one year when i dated my girlfriend,now she is my wife.
I think the fee of tickets is high, it would spend me 40-60yuan(RMB) to get one ticket.so high!
Another reason,is about the high speed of Internet,and i would choose the NET movies on my PC ,WATCHING AT home!
