We have been to the movie theater approx. twice in almost 35 years. I know!! shocked In the very early years, money was tight and we couldn't afford to waste a single dime on things like that. After a while, Cable TV was introduced into our area and it was cheaper to have cable than go to the movies. Cable was ridiculously low in the beginning, plus we got all the movie channels without paying extra! cool

We don't have cable anymore, haven't for years. Now---we either rent movies or stream them in the comfort of our home. I can wear my jammies, pause the movie if I have to go to the bathroom, fix some popcorn, and back it up if I didn't hear what the actor said.
