Do you go to movie theaters? Or you rather watch movies on Netflix or Hulu.

I love the cinema. I like to go every weekend but there usually isn't a film I want to see every weekend. I've been three times in a weekend before and I think that's probably my limit. For me the cinema is a much better overall experience than watching a film at home. I feel fully immersed in the film, I can turn off other distractions and really live in the moment of the film. I really like going in the morning but you don't get a lot of choice for morning cinema.

Go to the movie theaters about once a week at minimum. However enjoy watching movies at home sometimes more - NTs are so loud and noisy.

Neither. If I watch movies, it doesn't occur very often. Would much rather watch tv.

There's still an excitement to the cinema that appeals to viewing a movie as a community, even for us unsocial Aspies.

I like going if I really want to see the movie but I almost never go. The last movie I seen at one was Despicable Me 3. It costs alot & is a hassle to go. I wouldn't really mind going if somebody wanted to go there like my girlfriend but I don't care enough to suggest it. I don't watch many movies at home either because I have problems focusing due to AD(H)D. I mostly watch movies at home on TV or On Demand or Amazon Prime. I never pay for the movies or for a service just to watch shows & movies other than Crapcast(Comcast). If I really want to watch a movie that's been out abit & isn't available for free on those services, I'll :pirat: it

I hate going to the theater, the volume is always ridiculously loud and yet at the same time noises from others, be it munching on popcorn etc., talking, reacting to the film, or whatever, is incredibly distracting. Watching movies is absolutely not a social thing for me, it's an escape, and I'd much rather watch it at home by myself than out at the theater. Watching it streaming or on DVD on my laptop alone in my bedroom is ideal for me.
