Movie Theaters Will Never Be Extinct

I was in the movie theater today and found myself thanking God that movie theaters will probably not go extinct with the evolution of technology. We download music, walk around with IPODs, dont come near CD stores, and just lost the thrill of buying music (remember the mystery of buying a CD and finding at least 5 songs on there that you've never heard before?). With the movies, yes you can watch DVDs, yes you can download them too, but still you would feel the need to experience watching a movie at the theater. You wont always settle for the small screen in your bedroom :)I relish that thought. I dont want technology to rob me of all tangible and truely moving experiences.

    I totally agree with you on this. It's a different experience. Over the weekend, when we were going home, we saw the parking garage of the Woodfield movie theater almost full. So, I guess all those people enjoy going to the theater to watch movies rather than rent a DVD and watch it at home.

    sorry, disagree.. the thought of going to a crowded place to watch a movie where everyone has the right to laugh out loud & make jokes, interrupting my fun, makes me sick now.
    I'd rather choose when to watch the movie, in what temperature, with what snacks & who to share it with :)
    thats just me.
