@Joe-Allen: In six months, It”l be on DVD, Blue Ray, and next year, cable.

4 months on DVD and BluRay; 5 months (tops) on PPV

If the Distributors have THEIR WAY, it’ll be 90 days to DVD, 120 days to PPV.

I have not set foot in a movie theater in at least 5 years.

Golly, I love the cinema. Brings me back to my youth.

Yep, DVDs in a home theater are much nicer. The ability to pause so you can get more refreshments, or a bathroom break is the major plus. But, even small things like being able to turn on subtitles so you can figure out what someone just said, or rewind a few seconds are all part of the home experience.

DVDs are good for me. I watch them while I exercise.

However I did once avoid the crowds on a popular new release. I went to a matinee on New Years day. Only one other person in the auditorium.

why spend 12 bucks to watch in a theater when you can wait 4 months and rent it for 4 bucks on blu ray?

What was Travolta’s last good movie?

Pulp Fiction? Get Shorty?

dean, I thought his last one was Pelham 123, but i could be wrong…

I wouldn’t call Pelham a good movie. IT got 52% at Rotten Tomatoes.

Maybe it was financially successful.

In fact, Travolta averages 48% over his last 19 movies. Awful. And he has a documentary and an animated film propping that number up.

‘From Paris With Love (2010)’, apparently was a ROTTEN TOMATO…………….

See www.rottentomatoes.com for movie reviews…………

The last time I went to a movie was when Hellboy 2 came out, after a LONG time before that. The movie was ruined not only by the usual nonstop talking and people who can’t eat with their mouths closed, but by 5000 cell phone lights all over the theater. I swore I’d never go back. I can wait, especially now that they raised the price of a more than likely crummy movie to what I can pay to buy the thing.

I haven’t been to a theater in so long I can’t remember exactly how many years it has been. Much better to watch a DVD… and the local grocery store rents those for $1 so I can watch them cheap enough before making up my mind to buy.

hellyboy 2 was a great movie.

Travolta gets a lot of work for a guy whose films do not seem to perform well when he’s the lead, except for Old Dogs which was a good idea poorly executed.
