I actually passed up watching movies in Los Angeles when I saw how much it was ($12.75 at the theater I was at), and instead opted to wait until I got back home to Honolulu to go to the movies. I generally go to the movies if I consider a movie worth watching on the big screen, or if I figure the experience would be best enjoyed with a big group of people. I'm with you on going with a DVD rental service like Netflix. It's a whole lot cheaper, and you pay for shows you actually want to watch. I myself subscribe to Netflix, and as Dean said, there are a lot of movies available for instant viewing at no additional cost (as long as you don't exceed the maximum monthly allowed viewing time, which is like an hour for every dollar of your subscription rate.) Some of the television shows I've been able to watch through Netflix: HBO's Rome (Season 1 and 2), Smallville, BBC's Robin Hood, and right now I have Showtime's The Tudors in my queue. Also,don't forget that a lot of television networks now upload the most recent episodes of their shows on their websites. If the show you like happens to be very popular, it's likely that you can catch it online. And last but not least, there are places online where you can watch movies for free. One such site: hulu.com. I agree that movies have become so much more expensive today.
