5 Reasons Why You Aren't Going to the Movies

Well here are my reasons for not going:

1. I hate how movie tickets change pricing throughout the day.
2. I hate that I have to pay $11 just to have a small popcorn and small soda
3. I own a 3DTV that I got for $400 so there isn't anything special about watching rereleases in theaters anymore.
4. Most movies are not so great that I can't wait a few months for it to come out on DVD to rent on Netflix and then buy if I actually like it.
5. It takes too much of an effort to get to the theater by public transportation.

There must be a format issue with Google Chrome as I don't see your 5 reasons.

1) Everything is ****
2) Everything is ****
3) Everything is ****
4) Everything is ****
5) It's too expensive for ****
6) 3D SUCKS, I saw Avatar in 2D and would have puked to see it in 3D especially since it was a mediocre movie.
7) Horrible plot development
8) Stupid plots
9) The world sucks as it is so when you go to the movies you want to escape, but in most movies half the good guys die, the hero/heroin are left sad and lonely because they saved the world but the person they loved dies. Or some other stupid ****.
10) We haven't had a good comedians since Chevy Chase, Jackie Gleason, Jim Blushi, etc.. Will Ferrell sucks and so does Jim Carrey.

I agree the others. Most of the movies are inane, I hate 3D and refuse to watch anything that is made with it. The sound is too loud, you can't hear what the characters are saying because of the so called music.

People do not turn off their cell phones and people are talking or tweeting in the theater while the movie is in progress. Too damn many commercials (including TV now) I do not want to hear twenty minutes of coming attractions with the sound much louder than the film The snack cost is prohibitive to most people.

I find the best movies are at the indy films at the smaller venues and are limited releases. Still looking for Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy in western PA but it is not here.




The cost is high, although we go to the matinees where it is a bit cheaper. Most of the movies

Here's another one for your list:

Too many movies skewed way too young demographically. It's true, younger people go to the movies more often. But how much of that is driven by the content?

Must EVERY movie be too loud and go BOOM BOOM BOOM? Memo to Hollywood: Not EVERYONE over 40 is deaf.

Just about every demographically targeted movie is written for an audience at least 10 years younger. Must we all be treated like morons?

Second memo to Hollywood: STUPID IS NOT THE SAME AS FUNNY. Get it? Har, har.

And final memo to Hollywood: NOT EVERYONE HAS ADD. Good movies require good plots, and good plots require DEVELOPMENT. Why do you think some of the most successful movies are franchises? Because they allow for the development of the characters, plot, and sub-plots.

The cost of seeing a movie is awfully expensive, plus any popcorn etc you would want. I would say the last 4 movies I saw I only liked one.

Stop trying to remake movies that were great the first time around! Use your imagination!

One of the few reasons why people ain't going to the movies is the lack of what is coming out of Hollywood. This has been showing over the past few years. Unlike Avatar and The Dark Knight which made at least a fifth(TDK) to a tenth (AVA) on it's opening weekend from its overall performance at the box office, most of your movies are only going to make between half to a third of what it makes opening weekend from it's overall performance. The recent big movies like Harry Potter, Transformers and Twilight are prime examples of this. They have their die hard fans, but that's pretty much it.
Theaters having trying to keep up with what it made the previous years and if it means they have to raise tickets prices to match the previous years amount due to inflation, that means yes the prices are going to be higher. This sounds confusing, but its reality. The one of the reasons why I haven't been to the movies because of the recent disappointments I've gotten from the last 2 years of movies. The trailers look great, but the movies are too overly done. Plus, remakes and sequels are proving to me that Hollywood have any good there anymore. Instead of sitting down and thinking of something original, the writers tend to grab material of older movies and remake. Nowadays movies that are remade from movies with a 4 or 5 decades is tolerable. But, now we got movies being remade that are about 3 or 4 years difference. Why? I want something fresh and different and that everyone can enjoy. Like how older like the original Star Wars, Titanic, Gone with the Wind, Jaws, E.T. and many other original stories have the generations of old together like they did. I want movies like that. Not like how the newer movies are like. It's sad when a saga like the Twilight and Harry Potter movies have such a love/hate split that fans of the movies are willing to sacrifice relationships and go into deep financial trouble to see these movies while haters are willing to sabotage movie theaters on opening nights and/or protest that these movies should never be shown. I know people both sides of this war and I've seen both horrors. I'm not a big fan of Twilight myself because I don't like how the movies and books portray men. I like my heroes strong and whiny all the time and not take crap from anybody. These movies don't show that.
I grew up in a small town with a small theater, with a drive-in theater 30 minutes away. The drive-in always does double features for cheap ($5 each person) with a play ground in front of the screen. We always threw a baseball, football or Frisbee around while waiting for nightfall. When the movie started, we always got in the bed of our trucks or laid on a big blanket with a stereo blasting the sounds of the movie. Usually we luck out and have car next to us with a sound system and let play his stereo threw it. Bu, it something I will never forget. I think we need to bring that past time back.

Therer's nothing to See anymore....All trashy stuff.

OK. Here's why people aren't going to the movies, in spite of the fabulous 3D. Do any of your remember the original 3D movies? That fad didn't last because of those annoying glasses. As for the others, if you watch the OLD movies (from the 1930s and 1940s) either on TV or from Netflix or Video Room or whatever is convenient to you, you'll find the actors were top notch, the story lines were good PLUS you can understand everything the performers are saying - not that slack lip, slack jaw way of speaking that you hear nowadays, even on TV programs, or news broadcasts. 3 cheers for movies when they were movies and even the B movies from that era are upper echelon compared to what's being put out there any more.

I don't go to the show,b/c I don't have anyone to go with. I'd like to see that movie about the family who bought a zoo. It's a true story .

We've cut back on our movie-going. Why? Too expensive. I know the theater owners get very little from the ticket price, greedy Hollywood gets 90% of the ticket. Leaves very little to run the theaters...
If Hollywood took less of a cut, which they obviously could afford to do --- they brag about the revenues --- let the local theater reduce ticket prices & make more of the money ---- I think you would see people lining up again.
