interesting.

I think the theater industry has declined because it hasn't evolved. When I think back 50+ years ago, and think about what the theater has to offer me now, I see the same thing.

Except now, I have options. If i wait about 4 months I can rent the DVD and watch it on my big plasma for about 6$. I can pause, eat whatever food I want, drink alcohol, take a smoke break, wear whatever I want etc... No hassle in planning or choosing a show time, No hassle in finding a parking spot. Just easy movie watching.

As for an outing. I'm not opposed to a night out. As a single guy it's inexpensive to go to the movies, but I can't imagine what it'd be like for a family man. Movies cost me about 10-20$ depending on munchies when I go out. A family of 4 would be about 50$ or more? I don't' see the value in going to the movies shelling out that kind of dough just for a movie that I'm not even sure if I'd enjoy.

Avatar 3D has caught on. It was good experience using those 3-D glasses. This kind of innovation is what should help bring theaters back onto people's radars as something to do.
