I like movies, I really do, but I cannot even begin to handle the noise levels and the sudden brightness changes in a movie theater. Add in all the people crowded in tight and the fact that someone nearby me is guaranteed to be reeking of perfume/cologne, and... **shudder**

I wait til things come out on Netflix or DVD, and watch them in an environment I can control.
