Do you go to the theater or rent your movies?

I am not sure that I would go to the theater more if I had the money to go. I kind of like being able to wear what I want or nothing at all while watching something in the peace and quiet of my own home. There is nothing better than being able to stretch out and put my feet up with snacks from my kitchen. WAY better than having someone excusing themselves every 10 minutes to go get their overpriced goodies or go to the bathroom. Speaking of... isn't it nice to be able to pause the movie?

Yes, it is nice. But I still like going to the theaters. I like watching movies on the big screen and I like not having to wait for the DVD. I don't care much about people getting up and walking around. If it's a good movie, I probably won't notice. It's a great social event too. You can go out with friends and have fun shopping afterwards or whatever.

Oh I am not saying that I am above going to the theater. Sometimes the experience is much better there. I watched Jurassic Park when it came out to theater and because of that, it impressed me more than it would have at home I think. And I watched Batman Begins, which sparked a whole new interest in the Batman movie series. Pretty cool.

This is very true. Then again, maybe England has different laws than the US does on that sort of thing. Here its a federal offense.

I don't honestly see that I am doing anything wrong though some may see things differently. Sure England has laws. As far as I am aware the law breaking sits with those who upload the films to such sites and those who download the films. I am not uploading anything and never download anything. I merely watch films online for my own personal entertainment. I don't make copies or earn anything from it so I hardly see my actions as being of any great seriousness. Considering all the law breaking that occurs in the world the watching of movies online seems insignificant. Having read your comments I wonder why you take the moral high ground in response to my comments when on a previous one you admit to watching some movies online yourself (though not pirating)...and to someone who admits to downloading, which I believe is illegal. Interesting reading.

It is too long ago since I watch movies in cinema but last December my sister treat us to watch Avatar in theater. I never regret to went there again because Avatar is great movie and amazing. I like the movie a lot the effects is fantastic and the story is good.

I am right there with you about the noise of the theater. It drives me crazy too. Although for me it is someone that has a loud obnoxious laugh. Total turn off.

Maybe there will be a sequel. There are a lot of movies that are left unfinished so that they can make a 2nd part.

I like to do it if I'm not pirating. I do not endorse that.

Yes, there are a lot of sites to pirate copies of current movies. That's why I don't download them much. Mostly I watch them on my laptop. Just finished seeing "The Road". Not bad but it felt unfinished.

Most of my problem is also that I don't like to spend money on a movie that looks good in the commercial but then is actually not good.

I find that the opposite is true though for me. I can get a theater experience. With surround sound and all these new home theater systems, I find it a better deal. But opinions vary.

Hey its cool to be a cheapskate! We have more money.

I was never able to go when I was younger. Our family was pretty poor for that. Rich in other ways I guess though. Now I find that I prefer to be at home because theaters are just so noisy and crowded with sticky floors and too expensive concessions. There is nothing better than snuggling up on the sofa or bed with my fiance and watching a movie together.
