Watching original Andromeda Strain on Showtime. I saw it in 1971 at a
drive in. I still remembered most of it. Holds up very well. Much
better science than some of the new movies.

I'm biased because I bought a single screen theater in my hometown
right before lockdowns in March 2020.
I offered half the listing price because of covid coming and the
sellers accepted. We've been open since Godzilla in March 2021 and
things have been doing better.
I can say with certainty that my $50k projector and sound system
blows any of your home theaters out of the water haha!
That said, I prefer to watch new releases alone on days we're closed
or after the public shows because people are generally annoying.
Getting up to use the bathroom, dropping things on the wood floor,
talking, etc. All the things you all hate, I hate too. But we keep a
clean theater, have the best popcorn I've ever tasted, we're
friendly, and I'm renovating things slowly over 2-3 years to repair
and upgrade this 1937 theater.
We just added a small 2nd screen upstairs so we can show more than
one movie at a time. 4k laser projector is coming next year with
heated recliners too.
The movie industry is not dead and continues to be resilient coming
out of covid. The downside to this industry is we rely on good movies
being released. If the studios release a bunch of duds, theaters
don't do well. So we're at the mercy of the product that shows on our
screens.
Top Gun Maverick is one of my favorite movies now! I've seen it 3
times and we're bringing it back for a week again starting July 1
because it did so well for us in the first 2 weeks we had it. I'll
watch it a 4th time.

Not quite everything for me. For live events that have CC, the CC
is about 10-15 seconds behind the actual dialog, so I turn it off
because it becomes distracting.
Sometimes when they have CC, there is silence after the person
has said something that appears to me to be a complete sentence,
yet the CC adds some pithy little thing that (I think) they
didn't actually say.

Closed Captions, so you can understand what is being said, and
Being able to pause for snack breaks (or rebooting the laundry)
far outweigh the draw of the big screen for us.
Although, When I stream, is it truly using my 9.2 surround?

I detest the movie theater. theres always fools with phones
on, smacking their lips, talking. God only know what
communicable diseases youre catching off the seats. they dont
even use real butter anymore.
I remember seeing movies like Airplane and whatnot in the
theaters and watching people get up and leave at the credits
and missing the funny stuff in them. And rolling jawbreakers
down the isle.

Am I an outlier?

Meh
Wait for streaming.
Didn’t like how they did the first half.
I really thought Elvis ditched Col. Tom Parker before
he died, guess not.
