Do you like going to the movies or prefer watching at home?

PerfectionOfTheHeart · 46-50, F
I really enjoy the theater experience. Especially for blockbusters that are seen best on a big screen with a high end sound system. And honestly, popcorn. ICEE’s, and nachos just hit different in that environment. There’s more comfort when watching movies at home though. And sometimes that’s the only big appeal needed. It helps they sell Raisinets at the grocery store to up the appeal even more though.

@PerfectionOfTheHeart Haha awesome! 😄 It's true. I'd just go for the popcorn myself. 🍿
Home is definitely a lot more comfortable.
I don't watch movies...
2Wheels · 31-35, F
@HootyTheNightOwl Fair enough.

I used to go to the cinema more often BEFORE they built one 100 yards away from where I lived. Contrary, moi? Blockbusters are definitely far better on the big screen but home is so much more convenient....

@ArtieKat True. I hear you. 😄

There are some movies that are an experience in the theater. I am thinking about blockbusters with excellent SFX. But otherwise I prefer at home. It is more convenient at home and on a good rainy day can get through more than 1 in a sitting.

Love a theater experience. But the newerbtelevidionsc make it easy to create the theater experiences at home
Yeah we have HD tv and surround sound. @biandlargeny
Honestly, depends on my mood. I live down the street from a theater and when I first moved here I was at the theater all the time. Then I got a Roku…nothing like being able to pause and fix a snack or go to the bathroom.
2Wheels · 31-35, F
@bijouxbroussard True! I like that too. 😄
Torsten · 36-40, M
watching at home. Cinemas are pretty expensive nowadays and I dont wanna pay close to $50 to take my kid to watch a movie. Will wait a few months and pay maybe $5 to $10 instead
2Wheels · 31-35, F
@Torsten I totally understand. It's pretty brutal. Especially if you get snacks.
Torsten · 36-40, M
@2Wheels yeah the snacks are ridiculously overpriced. I hate the whole Cinema in general.
2Wheels · 31-35, F
@Torsten They are. If I didn't get my tickets for free I probably wouldn't go either.

Love the movies. I will even go if they put an old one on that I want to see. Last one I saw was The Great Escape.. Next Month their showing the black and white western, The Man who shot liberty valance, John Wayne on the big screen! I can't miss that.
2Wheels · 31-35, F
@Thevy29 That's awesome! Glad you enjoy it so much! 😁
NickiHijab · F
Depends on the company
Ducky · 31-35, F
The latter. I like going to the movies, but there’s always one person there who just doesn’t seem to have “quiet” and “courteous” in their vocabulary.
2Wheels · 31-35, F
@Ducky 😅 I haven't experienced that yet, thankfully. That's too bad. Can definitely be annoying in any situation.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
At home, if at all. I don't remember when was the last time I actually made time specifically to sit down and watch a movie.
2Wheels · 31-35, F
@CrazyMusicLover That's okay. Doing other things can be way more fun anyway. I hope you get some sort of time to enjoy you time though.
prefer watching in our set up in the rec room. nice comfy leather chairs and the kids know don't bother us if the door is closed
ravenhill · M
the cinema ain't what it used to be, doesn't have the same thrill or magic, so i watch dvds at home.
2Wheels · 31-35, F
@ravenhill That's too bad it lost it's magic for you.
ravenhill · M
cinema going doesn't have the same thrill or experience anymore, since they got rid of all the traditional stuff at the cinema.
icedsky · 51-55, M
Some you just need to see on the big screen. But usually prefer to be at home.
2Wheels · 31-35, F
@icedsky I agree. Same here. 😁
Ive only went twice in my entire life
2Wheels · 31-35, F
@SStarfish Dang! Did you enjoy them at least?
I go like once a year or something.
2Wheels · 31-35, F
@Spoiledbrat Sounds like me lol. 😄
At home except once in a while
Tminus6453 · M
Home...almost always
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
I'm a true introvert! 🤷🏻‍♂️
In the comfort of my home.
TheotherAndy · 41-45, M

2Wheels · 31-35, F
@Elanor I feel you.
Elanor · F
I had to see Elvis on the big screen after watching it on tv though lol 😍🥴@2Wheels
2Wheels · 31-35, F
@Elanor Nice! I haven't seen that yet.
DDonde · 31-35, M
At home, but I will go out every once in a long while
FeetAreFantastic · 41-45, M
I don't watch many movies as it is. In the rare case that I do I would rather watch at home. Easier, cheaper and I don't risk getting tinnitus. Apparently the sound in movie theaters is ear-shattering these days as well.
2Wheels · 31-35, F
@FeetAreFantastic That's cool. It is pretty loud there now. Sometimes too much in action scenes.

I love the cinema and watching at home too, I got to the cinema regularly enough

At home

The cinema is just a waste of money

Only exception might be something suitable for IMAX once in a blue moon
2Wheels · 31-35, F
@SW-User That's cool. Some people like the experience.
Lilnonames · F

2Wheels · 31-35, F
@Lilnonames Too busy with life or just not interested?
Lilnonames · F
