Consumers Prefer Movies At Home

Ubergrendle writes "A poll conducted by Ipsos on behalf of the Associated Press and AOL confirmed that 73% of movie viewers prefer to watch movies at home rather than at a theater. This article comes on the heels of a consistently poor box office this year, even despite the presence of the new Star Wars film. Despite this demand for home viewing, only 5% admitted to downloading a movie from the internet."

I hate going to the movies for the following reasons:

1.) Cramped legs unless I'm an asshole and put my feet up on the back of the chair in front of me.

2.) I hate other people. They're constantly talking, crumbling paper, taking phone calls, kicking the seat or having sex.

3.) can't use the bathroom and not miss a scene.

4.) Parking.. I fucking hate parking lots.

5.) seat saving. Trying to find a seat in a movie I paid for that doesn't have a whole fucking row reserved to some sorority's get together.

6.) line for the restroom after movie.

7.) overpriced low quality snacks.

All in all home theater beats the shit out of Movie theaters.
