Not even worth the trouble to download them for free.
Ain't that the truth! The last movie I actually went to the local cinema to see was Wolverine, and will probably be the last. We have quite a growing DVD library from which we can choose our favorites to pretty much occupy our evenings together.
Haven’t been out to the movie theatre in years.
I’ve heard rumblings that hulu.com is going subscription-based.
ML/NJ
I refuse to give money to the radical left and anti-American crowd.
Yes! I like Hulu. My DH hooked a computer up to our big tv so we could watch Hulu and YouTube.
We love old Mystery Science Theater 3000s.

Hulu would be stupid to go subscription.
There are tons of streaming sites that have the programs quicker and without commercials. I’m sure they are going to try, but it will be a bust. People will move onto Davidsmovies and forget Hulu.
I totally agree with your sentiment. The last few movies we have gone to, there have been preteens that are “coupled” up that parents have just dropped off @ the movies with no supervision.. 11 & 12 yr.olds on “dates” in a dark theater. I teach that age group and they do not need to be in a boy/ girl situation with no adult supervision! Also, we have had to get onto children who were rude and disruptive and you just cannot enjoy the movie. We now either watch at home on our large screen t.v or we go to the drive in nearby. It costs $10 for a car load and the drinks and popcorn we bring from home.
We have an IMAX and kids.
We go to the movies. Not all the time, but the big ones.
Harry Potter and Pixar for example. Seeing Dark Knight as it should have been seen, in IMAX, was worth every cent. (Dad gave me that for our wedding anniversary)
You can’t get 3D IMAX at home.
We went from maybe 1 or 2 a Month, to about 2 or 3 a year. With our home theater most movies worth watching can wait for DVD or whe it pops up on Netflix.
Don’t worry, baseball and football games are closer to $200 for field seats.
Ironic that we used “Free Tickets” to see Robin Hood last weekend.
Amazing how such an anti-tax, anti-big government this Hollywood film is!
Highly recommended for Freepers!
I wonder if Obama is concerned that performers make “too much” money. He attacks other businesses, but is silent when it comes to professional athletes and actors/actresses? Of course, they are providing a great service, promoting environmentalism, cures for popular diseases, and unity.
Paid $30 for two adults to see Alice in 3D.
At that price, I may as well buy a >50” 3D HDTV. I need a new TV anyway, and the $1000 premium amortizes nicely over just 4 3D movies a year for the next 10 years.
Try Blind Side !
I watched Avatar in Imax 3D during a matinee for around $12, IIRC. I’ll only go to the theater to see the 3D spectacles. Anything else, if I want to see it, I wait for on DVD. The home experience is better anyway.
I saw one of the Bourne movies and liked it. Trouble is, because they are all so similarly named, I don’t know which one I saw, so I’ll never see the others. I hate renting the same movie twice.
