The fade is on because paying $30 or $35 (minimum) to take youself and a date to see Mr. and Mrs. Smith, a totally rancid hell-movie you'll barely want to rent when it hits DVD next November or December, is a repugnant joke.

Gah, that movie was so awful. I was hoping for another light True Lies like movie but ended up with a unravelling convoluted mess that played on one joke for the duration of the movie. Not even those two super-babes could save that pile of trash.
As per why people don't go to movies, price is probably the number one reason. It has made seeing a movie less of an impulse date into a more planned and deliberated outing. When I was in Jr. High the price for students was like 4 bucks, if we were bored, we went to a movie because it was cheap. I really don't think movie quality has anything to do with it. Look at the popular movies, Mr and Mrs Smith (a total crap fest) handily beats Cinderella Man (of which I haven't seen but heard is quite good). North American audiences wouldn't know a good movie if it kicked 'em in the shin.
