Now we go maybe 6 times a year. I do find the cost of both the ticket and the snacks to be too high but more than that I have lost my enthusiasm for sitting next to people with cell phones, crying/whining children (even in restricted movies) and being disappointed too often with the movie itself. Now I prefer to just wait for Redbox or Netflix to get the movie and watch it at home. Gosh, even as I type this, I am feeling like I am a total bitch.
