Just curious.  You can count new/theatrical run movies released in your area as VODs, I suppose, since the pricing isn't terribly different and the principle is the same, and stuff like Rifftrax Live and other events I think should count as well just because you're literally there in a theater.

It's obviously 20+ for me (43 so far this year, iirc).  But I get the feeling most of you go far less often, not even in the 10-19 category, probably averaging 5-9. :hmm:

I'm probably in the 10-19 category.

Damn Languish is low-brow. I thought this would be about real theater.

Actually I just crunched the numbers and if you count repeat views and the VODs and the Rifftrax Lives, it's 52. :wacko:

I can't see the polls options on the mobile version,  but I have been to many more high school drama productions than movies in the last 5 years.  I can't remember the last time I went to s movie theater.

Btw it was my daughter before you all get creepy.

Maybe once or twice a year, if that. 
I hate people with children, groups of teenagers, people who talk loudly on cell phones, couples with their PDAs and most other humans in groups in general, so why go where they all form up and co-mingle in one giant herd?

There's still a Siegebreaker joke to be made somewhere.

Zero or maybe one a year.  The principle is not the same.  I can order a movie on my Kindle without leaving my house.  Or even my bed.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

If it's new, the principle is the same.  You think I hang out with scumbags at my local megaplex or something?

I see lots of movies, but very few in the theater. Haven't been to a play since my drama class made me.

I don't like going outside.   I also don't want to go to the movies alone.

1-4 for me.  I think in 2013 the total is 2 - Into Darkness and Planes.  My wife really enjoys going out to the movies though, so it was a pretty good go-to date night before we had kids.
