Although I love movies, going to see them makes m e a little crazy! First of all, getting to the movie theater c an take a lot of time. I have a 35-minute drive from my h ouse to the theater. Then, with a popular film, I usually have to wait in a long line at the ticket booth. Another pr oblem is that the theater itself is rarely a nice place to be. A gross smell suggests that there has been no fresh air in the theater for a long time. Most of the seats look like th ey are falling apart and the floor is often sticky from spill ed cola and other drinks. The worst problem however, ar e the other moviegoers. Kids running everywhere.

So I would rather stay hom e and wait for the latest movie hits to appear on TV in the safety and comfort of my own house. Supporting Details?
