Alone In A Movie Theater
You know what's great about a weekday matinee movie? Not only is it cheaper but every once in a while, you can get the whole place to yourself.
It's not much different from being at home. Except for the gum stuck to the chair. And the overpriced food. And the inability to pause for bathroom breaks. And thirty minutes of previews you can't fast forward through.
There are some plusses though. For a well-produced sci-fi movie with lots of special effects, you can't beat the huge screen and surround sound and the cinematic experience it all provides. You have to turn off your mobile so no one can bother you and you don't fee the least bit guilty about doing it. And sometimes the previews are pretty good but I find lately that more times than not, they've gotten out of hand with actual commercials thrown into the mix. I didn't pay to see commercials.
As for the over-priced food, I always stop by the dollar store and grab some snacks to sneak in. If their food wasn't marked up 300%, I wouldn't go to the trouble. Paying a buck for a big box of milk duds is so much more fun than paying $2 for a small box.
