Apart from the added logistics of having to find a babysitter, these days I haven't really made the trek to the movies to see a film unless it is something that I really *know* and trust that there would be more than $2.50 worth of script. I've been a whole three times - Star Trek, Harry Potter and Avatar - in the past two and a half years.
Unlike with the general population, the supposed stars don't make me want to see a film and in some cases - like where Tom Cruise is in it for example - shudder - it can actually turn me *off* a movie. We just saw Avatar for the first time the other week at the movies! I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to repeat seeing it at the movies, but I do have to admit the effects were kinda awesome.
That being said, and slightly contrary to what was just stated, as in most cases, Johnny Depp is usually the exception to the rule. And when he is teamed with Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter I would be curious enough to experience the film at the movies. However, Tim Burton was slightly disappointing the last few movies and I am not anxious to have my hopes dashed again.
