10. To be honest
Edited on Fri May-07-10 08:35 PM by Liberalynn
I don't really go to the movies any more any way. I think most of them stink. I have rented a number on DVD's or through Time Warners "On Demand" service thinking they'd interest me and they didn't. The last movie I saw that I actually enjoyed was Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.

And you can't fast forward through the dull parts in the theatre. Plus as an earlier poster mentioned my theatre is pretty grungy, the seats are uncomfortable, and the bathrooms are disgusting. So its not even an enjoyable experience in any way.

I maybe in the minority but I prefer television all around to movies. I'd rather sit home and watch NCIS, Castle and the Closer. In many cases they have more compelling talent on screen, and better written scripts in many cases.

That's why I am kind of hoping now that Nip/Tuck has been cancelled Julian Mcmahon, my favorite actor, finds a new TV project. I know he is trying to break into the movies, but IMHO I think he'd be smarter to stay with the small screen. Movies now a days are mostly over rated, again, IMHO.

So I may check them out a little more often if they start going directly to in home "ON DEMAND" services like TWs, but still not that much.
