The second difference between the cinema venues is their environments. At the drive-in, you have the privacy of your own vehicle within which to enjoy the movie, converse with others within your vehicle, and/or use your mobile phone without disrupting the movie for other patrons. Now, it may be a matter of preference, but if being exposed to inconsiderate patrons and their etiquette, or lack thereof, is your idea of a good movie experience, then one might enjoy the movie theater.…

On average, most Americans go out to public places to eat and for activities. Majority might agree that public outings are no longer as pleasant of an experience. Going to the movies is becoming one of the less appealing outings for the general public. Movie goers alike can see that reasons such as, overly disruptive teens, obnoxious gabbers, and uncontrolled theaters are to blame for the decline of enjoyment and satisfaction at the movies.…
Most people who watch television watch it for two reasons, information such as the news or documentaries and mindless shows to waste time not thinking about anything else. While reading you are using your imagination and your brain to engage yourself into the book and think of the scenarios in real life. In television it is shown to you and there is not much room for imagination. Once you start a movie you are committing yourself to…
Movie theaters can be a fun thing to do with friends and family, but staying home and watching a movie can be just as great. Americans last year spent an average of $9.87 billion on tickets alone. Americans who stayed home saved a lot of money, were more comfortable, and probably had just as good of a time.…
The film-industry has changed dramatically since its birth over a century ago. With these changes have also come great changes in the cinema-going experience. In the MAS205 unit reader for 2005, a number of the readings aim to address many aspects of the experience of cinema-going. Included in the unit reader are pieces by Barthes, Carriere, Sontag, Moore and Lowenstein. Each of these writers has varying feelings to cinema-going over the past century and this essay will aim to address these different aspects.…
• In the video this week, Bill Goodykoontz discusses watching movies as a group in a theater versus watching alone, on computers, or in your home. Explain how the availability of movies has evolved over the last century. Which experience do you prefer and why? You can rent and own movies almost anywhere now, from your phone, computer and TV. I remember when going to the theater was the only way to see a movie, now you can get it right off your computer. We enjoy watching movies directly off from our Netflix account on playstation, its beats paying late fees going to blockbusters and they’re unlimited for a nice fee.…
Even though we have to wait until a movie comes out on DVD, or television, by choosing to watch a new movie at home, it is more comfortable and cheaper than going to a theater. In reality, it all depends on an individual’s urgency to want to see a movie. I think there are times when we all want to get out of the house for a movie night. And then there are times when we would rather stay at home, and just relax watching a movie. There are both pros and cons to each choice. Watching a movie at home is definitely more cost effective, you can watch the movie as many times as you would like, you can invite people over, and even have the luxury of eating your own food. Going to the theater, is going to cost money, which isn’t cheap these days. You have to pay for the food, which also can be costly, and most of all if you have to get up for any reason, you’ll miss a part of the movie.…
I, personally, hate going to the movies. The prices are always more expensive every time I go. When I was in middle school I could go for around 8$, and now it’s more in the 15-20 dollar range. All to sit in a theater for 2ish hours and stare silently at a screen, something I could easily (and would prefer to) do at home. The only time I have gone to movies in the past few years are with family and friends, as a group activity. The cultural idea of seeing a movie is so culturally ingrained that people actually will spend 20$ on a movie ticket . Movie theaters are probably one of the few remaining “push” innovations, along with magazines and newspapers. You have to show up at a certain time, to a certain selection of movies, and pay by the movie. Movies are highly advertised (although I am told that LA had way more movie advertising than other US cities, which I had never really noticed since I’ve lived here my whole life) and an extremely money-based business. The movies produced by big names and companies are so different from independently made movies, especially in artisitc value. The movie industry is so highly commercialized that maybe we balance it out by seeing the films in something as old-fashioned as a theater. Seeing the movie in a theater also allows you to be one of the first to watch it (except for…
Movies are a great way for people to tell a story for the simple fact they appeal to people visually and emotionally. Dinner and movie is today a big part of American society; they just go well together. Dinner and a movie go together like peanut butter and jelly, having just one does not make any sense. When I think about watching a movie all I can think about is enjoying the evening with all of the different events that might take place. The way movies play an important role in America is simple it helps entertained, movies can also inform us, and it brings out emotions. Movies are one thing that just makes or breaks the evening. The thing that makes movies a part of American life is that it shows life thought the movies. In America people of all ages can watch movies, and maybe find a way to relate to the specific movie. How does this entertain people? It can be a date night or even a night out by one self, or it can be a night to relax on the couch and watch a movie. One thing that is for sure a movie can make people come together in weird ways. Sometimes it will make people act like a certain person, and it can also influence others to do what they are doing. The one thing that I love about movies is they show another side of things, and it brings out emotions. I believe they entertain, they bring people together, and the express emotion in some way. How do movie affect us in today’s society?…
The movies are a great way to pass some time and escape reality for a couple of hours. People like movies for all sorts of different reasons. Movies usually come out each week on Friday night and on average three to four movies come out a week. That comes out to over two hundred movies a year and that is just mainstream film. One of the decisions people have to make is what movies to watch. The paper will discuss what the writer likes to watch, what he finds enjoyable, and what he does not. There is also the choice to watch in the theater or rent and watch at home. The first choice is more immersive and on a bigger screen while the second choice is less expensive and more intimate.…
First, you get to go straight to the movie, no waiting through previews of movies you do not care about. When you want to watch a movie, you just pop the disk in and press play and you are good to go. Next, you get a lot of privacy watching it at home. There are no unknown people and in turn no weird habits to be on the look out for. You also get to pick the best seats in the house, no arguing with anyone. There is no pressure to look presentable since no one can see you. You could wear pajamas, have your hair up, and no makeup nonacid face no judgments. Finally, there is almost no cost to watching a movie at home. Nowadays you can rent almost all the newly released films from your local Redbox for one dollar and buy a box of popcorn for about $3. You can get everything you need for a great movie night for less than $5! With that math, you could have eight great movie nights for the cost of one sub-par movie date in the theaters. Overall the home viewing experience is far greater than a theater viewing…
Every week a number of new movies come on the market to go watch in a theater. Now the question is, would you rather go watch a movie in the theater, or watch it in your own living room? A theater is always nice because of the big screen and the fresh popcorn, but then again your own couch and popcorn sounds good as well.…
Another factor is social cultural, where people like watching movies in their own home these days to avoid crowds and inconvenient seats. Next, a manager should consider what external trends will affect the movie industry. There are many external trends that a manager may face in the movie theater; one general factor trend is the streaming movies from YouTube and some similar networks. Even though they have movies on demand the movie industry has to also manage the competition with satellite and cable connections. One trend that the movie industry cannot control is the illegal movies and songs downloading. There can also be some external factors like legal and political were the manager of the movie…
Finally a last disadvantage is you can't see what the environment is like and how the towns are like or even people in general you can't see what it looks like. One advantage to watching a movie is you can see what they are doing instead of imagining it. A second advantage is you cantell there tone when there speaking. The last advantage is you get to know the characters body language and attitude better. One disadvantage is you can't watch a movie at your own pace like a book.…
