Back in the 50's/60's my little town had 3 sit down movie houses and 3 drive in's. Now it's twice as big and has only one sit down theater that's barely hanging on by a thread.
Hell, when the local chain went tits up here about a year ago, we didn't even have that. Had to drive either to Barrington or Portsmouth to see a movie.
Or punch one up on the cable box. Gee, what a shame. Popcorn with as much butter (BUTTER, not that oil shit) on it, Cokes that aren't flat and watered down, candy that doesn't require a second mortgage, and no cell phones, screaming kids, or idiots trying to talk over the movie.
And they wonder why the theaters can't stay in business.
