Theater owners talk about declining interest in people going to the movies. Streaming has something to do with it but the movie going experience is pretty bad these days. Now we're forced to sit through a bunch of ads before the trailers and feature - for an exorbitant price.
I'm glad I grew when I did for many of the reasons mentioned in this thread. I'd hate to be kid now - for lots of different reasons.
