OK, I have to ask, WHY is Brad Pitt the picture for this piece?

Because we like his hair so very, very much in this film.

No, seriously: Because Burn After Reading is one of a pretty big slate of movies that'll be opening in the next few weeks, and because even though it's directed by the Coen Bros. and has a glamorous cast, the buzz has been mixed enough that it may get lost in the shuffle.

And because we like his hair.

Well, my reason for not going to the movies is why should hubby and I pay $20 (or more if we have to pay for a sitter) to see something when we can wait a few months and rent the DVD for $1.50-$2.50 (depending on whether its from the library or netflix). We've got a nice big TV at home, its not a theater, but its good enough.

I only go to the movies if the movie is something I'm dying to see. With rowdy teens, cell phone calls, and loud talkers, no one seems to know how to behave at the theater anymore. I have a very nice home theater setup and i can usually wait for the DVD/Blu-Ray.

We reserve theater time for those large special effects movies that just don't translate as well to the home screen. Other than that, we watch everything on DVD.

I must admit, though, that one of the best movie experiences I ever had was watching Schindler's List in a crowded theater. The emotional impact of watching that with a group of strangers was really something that had to be experienced.
