I hadn't gone to the cinemas for a very long time . Over an year to be exact . I went to watch DEADPOOL AND WOLVORINE back in July 29th . It made my remember how much I loved watching movies at the cinemas , especially Hollywood films . I used to be a frequent movie go-er . I have gone to watch every major film released during 2015-2019 . I don't know what changed . It has to be Streaming . These days the films become available to stream very quickly after release , or atleast you could get them online through "other means" for free , when they release on PVOD . Also I would like to argue that films these days don't have the magic like before . There are very little actually good ones that stand out while the others come out bad or just not good . Its like they make them just for the sake of it . Oh well... There just isn't anything interesting coming out these days that really makes me feel "oh I have to watch this !" . I will maybe go for the Mufasa film , JOKER 2 and maybe VENOM , but that's about it . beetlejuice 2 looking good though from the trailers . Do you go to the movies anymore ? When did you last go ? What upcoming film are you planning to watch ?

@KityCat Heh. I can't even remember the last movie I went to in the theater. I never wake up and say to myself "I think I could like to to a cinema and sit for two hours."

The last time I went to the movie theater was when the movie "War For The Planet Of The Apes" came out. Due to my relatives having to work on daytime and night shift, going to the movies is not an option anymore.

I went back in March. I usually see about four movies in the theater a year. I don’t really watch movies on streaming.

@kitycat I no longer go to the cinema. Very few good films are made now and people talk too much and are generally quite rude. The romance has gone out of it and it’s usually a very flat experience.

No, I never go. I don't like it and it makes me anxious. I don't like crowded or dark places.

Once in a while, but they are very expensive to attend these days at least here. The only place I am going to go anymore is a cheap theater in the region. I paid a fortune last time I went to the movies.

I don't go really--but some movies are just better on a big screen--so I suspect that I will go back from time to time--

Its been years ago since I last went to a cinema, may be even a decade without exaggeration. Since the advent of DVD's, home theater systems, and streaming platforms, I've been watching movies at the comfort of my home and I prefer it that way now. I don't know what recent good movies are out. I haven't watched in a good while. The last film I watched was Retribution.
