Yes i am a movie lover, i often watch tons of movies ranging from the regular Hollywood movies to Chinese dramas, korean dramas, Japanese, Thailand, anime, donghua and so many others. The most important thing for me is that the movie has good plot. But it's so funny that as much as i love watching movies, i have never been to the cinema . Over here going to the cinema is pretty expensive, the cost of tickets mostly depends on factors like, location, the kind of movie, Branding and so on. Some time back i had plans to go watch the avengers movie with a friend, that would have been my first experience but something happened and she couldn't make it, so i just felt no need cause she was actually the one who wanted to take me out as a birthday gift. After that i lost interest and i made up my mind that my first experience would be with my future wife (who ever i finally get married to). At the moment my Cinema is at home, i watch all my movies either through streaming or downloading them from moviebox with some homemade food or snacks around . Have you been to the cinema?

I've been to cinema but as a person who doesn't like crowds so most of the time I watch it through online. Hope you got to experience it because it is nice as well watching movies through the big screen.

I got to the theater (cinema) probably once a year. I used to go with a friend probably four times a year, but I don’t hang out with her anymore. However, with it being so expensive, once a year is probably all I need to go anyway.

Many times when I was young, I do not go anymore now, we have large TVs why to spend money to go to a cinema?

Just two days ago I was watching a video about the declining quality of American cinemas, and I was thinking about how the last thing I saw at the cinema was Star Wars: The Force Awakens in December 2015, and before that, The Lego Movie in April 2014! Nothing since those! I know it can be big and loud sometimes, but I guess that's the advantage over watching at home; being totally blind, the huge screens don't mean anything to me, and as far as the big sound, to me that just means it's loud; a stereo system blasting the movie would have the same effect. But the communal theater experience was interesting, that's for sure; I just prefer to watch movies at home where I can do other things while I'm watching. Nothing's better than watching an old Disney film while scrolling through MyLot.

Haha that's right. I guess it's everywhere, there have been some decrease when it comes to cinema. Majority of the people prefer streaming online.
