I quit going to movie theaters over 20 years ago for several of the same reasons you've indicated. Poor audio -- often uncomfortably loud, uncomfortable seats, high ticket prices, unruly guests, and outlandish food costs. The last time I was in a Regal cinema, was at the old Ridge Cinema in late summer of 2000. Tickets were $7.25. No way in hell I'm paying $22 for a movie ticket. I'll watch it at home, for free, where I can control the environment.
