Exactly right. The gap back then between home entertainment and theatrical presentation was off the charts. Nowadays if I can't see a big movie in RPX I feel ripped off. Charge me $10 for a 20 foot screen. My HDTV is big enough and doesn't have screaming kids or texting/talking adults and teenagers.

Not to mention buying a movie on VHS was expensive. The movies we had on VHS were ones recorded from the TV (okay and a couple bootlegged copies of movies). I grew up in the UK, and it could take years before a movie was release on home video. It was just a completely different time. Now movies are available for download within months, and more importantly they are guaranteed to be released for streaming, bluray, etc., within six months (tops). The first movie I saw in the theatre was ET. I think it took ET more than 20 years before it was released for home video.

Well I'm gonna ditch y'all for a little bit and read a book or something, hope to see some numbers when I come back

I try not to hand out my A's like candy, Mr. Jurassic World.

I admit I love almost everything   Jurassic World  Almost saw it a second time when my parents went to see it but I almost half dead and really needed to sleep on that night.

Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith- 5. Attack of the Clones- 7. But I was a child, now I am lukewarm about all of them.

Recently I saw Birdman twice in theaters? That's about it. Will see Inside Out a second time and might catch MMFR again though.

Yep good point on the prices. The one thing I do miss from the VHS era is how easy it was to record stuff from TV. DVR is easy to use but you run out of space pretty quick unless you are lucky enough to have one of those DVR's that holds a terabyte or more. VHS allowed you to own whatever it was (TV show or movie or sports event) without having to worry about whether you would need to delete other stuff from DVR, etc.

Mary-Louise Parker is a fucking hot milf. I would totally do that.

For an ex-Nolanite, five viewings of Interstellar in the theater ain't bad. It's still not as good as ten though.

E.T came out on VHS to own in the UK in 1988 I believe. I remember as I had it for my birthday and recall all the huge hype over it coming to video. It's my favourite movie so was quite the event being able to take it home.

There was something magical about the big movies coming out to own when the window was much wider between theatrical and home release. Even by 1993 Jurassic Park didn't come to VHS for 16 months!

[Bishop54]

I keep all my ticket stubs and put them inside the blu-ray when I buy them.

[Mattrek]

Pretty sure i've only ever seen a film up to 3x in theaters. Mostly just cause that's about as much as I could find people to agree to come with me

Watching a movie alone is glorious. I do it all the time.

[redfirebird2008]

B89 came out pretty quick on VHS. Late 89 I think. Believe that was the first one that kind of began the trend that we see now.

Anything less then A for Mr. Nolan, and you're just pushing your luck.
