2. I read last year that movies are shifting to a younger audience now because thats where the money is. Said the big blockbusters are either animated or comic book movies. Thats why the big actors are migrating to TV. Look at the actors that have done shows on AMC, FX, HBO, Showtime, and now Netflix and Amazon. I think its the future and you will even see more straight to Netflix and HBO small budget movies

That, and entertainment is becoming more of an "on demand" process. Going to a dinner and a movie used to be a big deal. Now I think many people would just rather stay home and watch TV or a movie once it hits Netflix or the internet.

Admittedly, I'm not a big movie person, but paying an exorbitant to go sit in a theater with numerous strangers (many with no respect for other's experience and no sense of decorum) just doesn't appeal to me much any more.

I can save a bunch of money and stay at home, watch the movie with complete peace and quiet on a fairly large screen HD TV. Maybe I'm just getting older, but the fun of "going to the movies" just isn't there anymore.
