Exactly. I can watch a movie on my own couch, with my own popcorn and soda, and my friends and family basically for free. With a 40"+ flat screen that costs about the same as four or five trips to the theater. I've noticed in the last few years that there are fewer and fewer movies that I'm even vaguely interested in seeing. Maybe when I was living at home and near a theater that offered $4 tickets, and no ads, I might take a flier on a potentially bad movie, but at $12-15 a pop at the chain cinemas around here, when the movie doesn't start on time because they are showing 45 minutes of ABC commericals...
