Your enjoyment of the theater experience is why the "movies" are still around. Staying at home and watching a good movie is nice, relaxing, and comparative less expensive but its just not the same. At home it's not that much different than doing the dishes or making the bed-its become part of what goes on in a household. Getting out to the movies is an experience from the drive to it, to the popcorn, experiencing entertainment with "others", the anticipation as to when it "begins", etc etc.
I expect Lion King to be very entertaining. May have to see it by myself-Barb is not into what she calls "fake" movies.
