...the rude behavior of much of the audience is the other.
I also don't care for most theater parking lots. Too many people reading @ stupid phones, etc. Almost as bad as grocery store lots. (Aside: a couple of days ago an elderly woman uttered the word supermarket. When's the last time y'all heard that term voiced aloud?)

I`ll have to take you folk`s word for the deterioration of the movie theater experience
It's accurate. We still go but no longer to any general admission. We make it a night out and go to Lux Level showings and get dinner there. Cost ends up on parity with going out to hitting a show and getting moderate dinner after. The other alternative is the local cinema pub. We hit it often as well as film cost with burgers, pizza & beer is about the same as hitting the local town tavern for dinner. In either case the moron factor is reduced dramatically. You are usually surrounded by adults who are all there for the same reason.
I've only been to the movies once in my whole lifetime. It doesn't sound like I've missed too much.Only been to one movie so far this year

New movies are about like new music for me. Not too much I'm interested in.
I can't really blame it too much on age. I'm only 34. Maybe I just have an old soul.I use to go to movies all the time when in my youth .. things is … didn't cost me anything. I got in for free because it was a benefit of working at movie theatres. Worked out
Don't like many modern movies either (comic book/video game mantra) … I just think (IMHO) it's a natural occurrence of age.
I liked Jon Hamm's "Beirut" (this year) … didn't see it at the Movie Theatre … because it didn't even make it close to my area. Had to watch on DVD but it did not take long to come out. Hamm described it as "The kind of movie that does not get made anymore" … he got that right.

I just don't find most newer movies that appealing. The comedies aren't funny to me, just annoying. Horror/sci fi movies are mostly full of crappy CGI and not scary jump scares. Westerns are pretty much non existent. Some drama stuff is watchable, but not really my thing. And, don't get me started on the endless, unneeded remakes they have been churning out lately.
My last movie was the last Star Wars movie. It was loud but nothing like the rude people around me. They were talking, making comments as the movie continued, talking on the phone, unbelievable food related noise. This crap happens at every movie I have gone to in the last couple of year. I am no longer a movie theater fan. I'll wait and look at them at home.
