Going off of the original topic a bit - but something that I recently noticed. My sister in law and her husband recently offered to take our two nephews, 6 and 4, to go see the movie Cars at the theatre. The 6 year old commented that he didn't want to go, opting to "buy it instead and just watch it at home". You hear more and more how people (adults too) just "wait for the DVDs", which sort of makes me sad. I guess ever since I was a kid, and continuing today, I've just always loved the theatre experience - seeing my favorite movies on the big screen. Sure, its more expensive, and that has made the wife and I really only go to the movies we really want to see - and we'll wait for others - but I couldn't imagine not seeing movies like Star Wars, Spider-Man, Indiana Jones, LOTR, Harry Potter, Batman, Superman, etc. on the big screen at least one time. I can see not wanting to pay to go multiple times, especially with DVDs usually not too far behind the release date, but I guess I always enjoy going to catch a movie in the theatre. Does it seem like society overall is just shifting that way now, and will it change the way movies are released in the future? Part of it, like other areas, might be an oversaturation of things too. In the 80s when we went to movies (thinking of things like Star Wars, Indy, Goonies, original Batman), it seemed like there wasn't nearly as many releases each year - let alone each week. That's how the original Star Wars could still be in theatres up to a year later in some cases. Not saying it needs to be that way, the world is changing, but some part of that simplicity was nice too.
