1) How many theaters around your area do you visit?
Two. There used to be three, but the other started to have a more dirty look and feel.

2) What snacks, if any, do you buy?
A large popcorn and a large Coke; then I get a free refill of both on my way out (I can eat a lot of popcorn.

3) What is the cost of a matinee ticket?
$6.00

4) In a year's time, how many movies do you usually see in theaters?
Three or four. I cam currently at three with three more planned.

5) Do you prefer a more crowded or more empty room?
More crowded assuming the people in front of me aren't constantly texting throughout.

6) Do you usually stay through to the end of the credits?
Always.

7) 3D: fad or here to stay?
Fad

8) 3D: worth it if done well or sill stupid?
Stupid. I wish it had never gotten started. Screens are being taken up that could be showing other movies instead.

9) Do you prefer to go alone or with someone to see a movie?
It depends on the movie.

10) When was the last time that you went to the movies?
Three weeks ago.

11) What did you see?
Super 8

12) Was it any good?
It was pretty good. It wasn't as good as I was expecting because I had incorrect preconceptions about the plot.

13) What was the last theater movie you didn't care much for?
Cars 2

14) What is the most movies you have watched in the theater in a single day? (shorts all played together are a single viewing)
Two... I think. It may have been three.

15) Do you usually only go to see summer blockbusters?
Pretty much

16) What is the most number of times you have gone back to see the same movie?
Twice. (With the cost of the snacks that I feel I must buy, each visit isn't exactly cheap.)

17) What is the main influence that draws you into deciding to see a movie (genre, actor, director, etc?)
Director and genre usually to an equal degree

18) Have you ever worked at a theater?
No

19) Have you ever left one movie and into another without paying?
Only to preview them mid-show to see if it's something I would be interested in seeing later. As a kid I used to freak out thinking I would get caught and banned forever!

20) Have you ever done it twice in one visit (watching three movies?)
No

21) Have you ever purposely made a mess in the theater knowing someone would have to clean it up?
Yes. I went to a movie and the guy was a real jerk. Among other attitude issues, he was cranky because I wouldn't hurry up and leave so that he could sweep around my area... all but pushing me out of my chair at the start of the credits. So, the next time that I saw him, I made sure he had something to clean up that would take a little more effort. With that said, a few weeks later when I saw another film, my bag of popcorn tipped and I spilled it all over the floor. I picked it up before leaving. It takes a lot to annoy me enough to purposely do anything like that.

22) Have you ever left in the middle of a movie because you didn't like it?
Yes, but I forget which one it was. All I remember was almost falling to sleep from boredom about halfway through.

23) Have you ever had a projector fail or another problem resulting in having to leave before the film ended?
Yes. Full power outage. The place's emergency generators were only strong enough to turn some of the lights back on. They gave me my money back, which was the first time my ticket stub had a purpose.

24) Do you typically make a lot of excitement noise during the best action parts of a movie?
Yes, when going with the crowd. I enjoy that better than the crowd yelling out for some reason and me sitting there, "Just sit down and shut up!"

25) What genres do you prefer to go see in theaters?
Action

26) Have you ever seen a couple getting sexual in the darkness of a theater?
A few times

27) Do you consider this a bold act given it's a public place though the lights are dim?
I did when I was much younger but not anymore.

28) Have you ever been asked to leave due to making too much noise or another factor?
No, but I have seen it happen a few times to others.

29) At what time do you prefer going to the movies?
Mid to late afternoon.

30) If you could act in one of the films currently playing in theaters, which would it be?
Probably X-Men: First Class (though I guess it isn't running in many places anymore.) The movie was a lot of fun.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

1) How many theaters around your area do you visit?

Four.  One for wide releases, two others for art-house films, and the IMAX theatre at the Science Center

2) What snacks, if any, do you buy?

None.  Food is too bleeping expensive at the theatre.  I eat beforehand and smuggle a drink in my purse.

3) What is the cost of a matinee ticket?

$7

4) In a year's time, how many movies do you usually see in theaters?

Not many.  Last year, 3.  Year before, 4.  So far this year, 0.  I plan to see 2.

5) Do you prefer a more crowded or more empty room?

Empty.  If we could have the room to ourselves it would be awesome.

6) Do you usually stay through to the end of the credits?

Always.

7) 3D: fad or here to stay?

Hopefully a fad, but likely staying until the next gimmick comes along

8) 3D: worth it if done well or sill stupid?

Not really

9) Do you prefer to go alone or with someone to see a movie?

With my mom

10) When was the last time that you went to the movies?

Last year

11) What did you see?

Waiting for "Superman"

12) Was it any good?

Yes, and if you live in the US you should watch it

13) What was the last theater movie you didn't care much for?

Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

14) What is the most movies you have watched in the theater in a single day? (shorts all played together are a single viewing)

Three

15) Do you usually only go to see summer blockbusters?

No ... in fact, I usually don't go to them

16) What is the most number of times you have gone back to see the same movie?

58 ... no, that's not a typo

17) What is the main influence that draws you into deciding to see a movie (genre, actor, director, etc?)

I have to be really excited about a film to see it in the theatre.  Everything has to come together for me.  Like, I have plans to see the new Sherlock Holmes film when it comes out - because I'm a big Holmes fan, because I like Downey Jr., because I like the director, because I liked the first film, etc.

18) Have you ever worked at a theater?

Movie theatre, no.  I do work in a shop that sells used DVDs though

19) Have you ever left one movie and into another without paying?

Yes

20) Have you ever done it twice in one visit (watching three movies?)

No

21) Have you ever purposely made a mess in the theater knowing someone would have to clean it up?

No, and I wouldn't do it ... I've worked in retail too long and had to clean up too much shiza

22) Have you ever left in the middle of a movie because you didn't like it?

Yes, but not in a long time

23) Have you ever had a projector fail or another problem resulting in having to leave before the film ended?

No

24) Do you typically make a lot of excitement noise during the best action parts of a movie?

No

25) What genres do you prefer to go see in theaters?

IMAX documentaries

26) Have you ever seen a couple getting sexual in the darkness of a theater?

No

27) Do you consider this a bold act given it's a public place though the lights are dim?

I would consider it rude.  I also consider bringing kids who can't sit down and be quiet rude, so my tolerance is low.

28) Have you ever been asked to leave due to making too much noise or another factor?

No

29) At what time do you prefer going to the movies?

The earliest showing on Sunday

30) If you could act in one of the films currently playing in theaters, which would it be?

Since the only films currently on my radar are Captain America and Harry Potter, it would probably be easier to be an extra in Cap, but more fun to be an extra in Potter.
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
