I used to love movies. I loved going as a kid, especially. The whole experience was somewhat magical because I didn't get to go very often. I enjoyed going through my teen years and into my 20s. It wasn't until I started having kids (mid-30's) that I quit going (I went through a huge media-blackout period during this time. I was finishing up a grad degree while having kids and working full-time). I think I went at least 5 years without stepping foot in a theater. As my kids got older, they got interested, so I saw my fair share of kid's movies. These days, they are into Star Wars, super heroes, etc. While I wouldn't trade a minute I've had with my kids, I really don't care about going anymore. If it weren't for them, I probably wouldn't go. I can't really remember one movie to the next anymore, and my life is filled with family, work, and gigs. I can't remember the last time I watched an entire movie at home either. I simply don't have time, and on the rare occasion that I do, I feel guilty about sitting in the same spot for two hours uninterrupted. I feel like I should be up working around the house, playing with the kids, or spending time with my wife.
I'm just in a weird spot right now. Maybe middle age is just working its way in.
