Some movies are amazing on the big screen, and crowd energy is also a factor. The issue is, to make up for lost revenue, the prices of concessions and the rest has just made it so prohibitive.
To Quote a great one. "Why is it, a woman can say, my girlfriend and I are going to brunch, nobody says anything. But as soon as I say, my boyfriend and I are going to shop for fannypacks, everyone thinks I'm a gay."
