For Get The Movie Theaters

Let me ask you this, have you attended the cinema lately? Let’s face it, in this day and age, going to the movies isn’t really what it’s cracked up to be. Recent reports have established that box office ticket sales have steadily declined over the years and the reason is simple – in years past, if men and women wanted to see a movie, they had no other choice other than visiting the theater. I don’t know about you, but I don’t remember the last time I had a pleasant “movie going” experience. Let’s look at what’s involved.

First, are looking for out the times and the movies that are playing. Next you need to get in a car and drive to the theater giving yourself enough time to park, get your tickets, buy your popcorn, etc. Okay, now your all set and you enter the appropriate theater room and find your seat. The movie begins and here come the distractions. You have all the people straggling in that are late, fumbling around at nighttime looking for their seat, you have the whisperers, the plastic crinklers, the cell phone talkers… I think you get the point. By the way, I didn’t even mention the price of admission. Where I am from, it costs about $8.50 per person. Bring your significant other, kids (and I have five kids) plus thow in the price of snacks ….. This is cost me $100 bucks just to go to a show!

I will not go to the theater anymore, because now I have brought the theater home. Without a doubt, at any time I want to take pleasure in the movie experience without the above aggravations, I merely slip on my most comfortable lounging outfit and take the long trip down to the basement , which has been transformed into a home theater. The advantages are unbelievable. I do not have to drive anywhere, worry about parking, or deal with annoying people anymore. If I need to stop the movie to use the restroom or fix a quick snack, I just pause the movie and go do my thing.Yes, I still need to spend money on movies, but the prices of DVD’s have dropped tremendously and you can find many good deals on used DVD’s, which are just as good as a brand new one. Even the price of a rental is the vast majority that of a theater ticket.

Don’t misunderstand me, your going to have to shell out some bucks, but you can put together a decent set up for much less that you think. Basically, you need a flat screen tv and a surround system and you’re simply all set. How fancy you need to get all depends on your budget, but trust me, it will be a great investment in the long run. Be sure to keep all this in mind the next time your sitting at the theater and the kid next to you starts screaming out in the center of the movie and the two teenagers in front of you wont be quite.
