The movie theater is never going away. If that was a case why are there still restaurants? People still have kitchens in their home!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Thirty years ago dinner theatre used to be much more of a going concern than it is now.
Movie theaters still exist in spite of all of the alternatives that are available, video and video-on-demand and DVD and streaming video and all of these things.
Will the theater disappear? No. Is it healthy? Also no.
The newly decorated theatres produced things like car parks and restaurants, so you could have a good night out, quite cheaply without all that bother of having to go somewhere else.
I don't think theater is dying, and musicals are a great American art form. We've got apple pie, jazz and musical theater.
I happen to love working in cinema, but the theater is always there... you know, and I would never shut the door on it. Even though it's been quite a bit of time since I've done a play, last one was in New York.
People predicted in the 1910s that live theater was going to be all gone and that we'd just be watching movies. No, live theater is still around, because it does things that are specific to it.
Today's restaurant is theater on a grand scale.
I pretty much have no life outside of the theatre. I go home every night, and I put the TV on, and I veg out and order food.
Well that's the point: People don't normally take away things from films anymore. You go and see a $100 million film, half an hour later, your biggest concern is what are you going to be eating.
