Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

I'm surprised there wasn't a big drop from Netflix and big ass TV's.

There was. If you map that onto the growth in population you'll see that tickets per person has been dropping since about 2000.

I’ve been to like six or seven movies with my partner…

We’ve been together for 12 years.

We’ve seen thousands of movies, though—thank you, trackers.
