I went to the 16mm night at the Way Out Club last night, "Freaks" was great and "...And Justice For All" was a bit soap-opera-y, despite a fantastic central performance from Pacino. You should come along if you live remotely downtown, it's a lot of fun.

Is not going to movies in theater regularly really that weird?

These days, I probably go to 4-5 movies in theaters a year, but there have been times when I've gone less or not at all. Not going to movie theaters due to lack of interest, cost, or the hassles involved if you're a parent or whatever doesn't seem that shocking.

I love going to the movies...but I don't go as often as I used to either. Probably once a month give or take.

Unless you have a sweet home theatre going out to the movies is a necessity for big movies and big landscape movies imo

I don't remember the last movie I watched in a theater. It was either Gravity or Anchorman 2, whichever of those two came out more recently.

Since moving back to Ohio 6 years ago, I only recall going to the movie theater here one time, for the aforementioned Anchorman 2. Living in StL we would go to the Moolah theater a decent amount (probably 6-8 times a year), but that was mostly because you could sit on a couch and drink beer. Maybe bowl a bit when the movie was over. We just aren't big fans of sitting in normal movie theater seats and not being able to drink beer.

The AMC Stubs Rewards program is pretty good and definitely worth it if you do go to a lot of movies. I would like to go a little more often than I do now, which is probably about 6-8 times a year.

Hadn't heard about this until today. Columbus (Indiana) is an hour from here and I've been in most of the buildings in the trailer. And movies with people just talking are always welcome.

Two things.

1.) You were in those houses? What are the chances!?
2.) I watched the trailer with my computer muted. I'm not sure what they discussed the entire time, but it looked intensely serious. Like both characters had some weird medical condition where they were unable to experience joy. Is that the plot?

1. I've been in one of the houses if you count the Miller House. Nobody lives there anymore though, and you have to buy tickets. It's an interesting place.

2. Eh. People are sad and [expletive] up sometimes.
