I go to the movies maybe once or twice a year, if friends invite me, and I bring my own snacks in my purse. It's no longer a casual thing to do on the weekends anymore, because (and I just checked my nearby theater's pricing) for a couple it's easily $70 with snacks and drinks. For that we could go get dinner at a nice restaurant or get an excellent bottle of wine and torrent something at home. There also haven't been many movies out that interest me lately. I think the last new movie I saw in theaters and really enjoyed was Dune, and recently they screened Spirited Away which was cool to watch on the big screen. There's just so many other things I'd rather spend $70 on.
