I wasn't allowed into the type of theaters with the sticky floors until I was over 18!

It was a regular movie theater, not the kind you are thinking of. I assume the mess on the floors was from spilled soft drinks or something like that. The place was pretty worn and probably not well maintained.
Although as I think of it now, showing a kid an X rated movie might a way to handle sex ed. "You see what these two are doing? That's how people have children!"
Valid points. Although if one throws enough money at the home theater, one could have a pretty big screen. And if one threw enough money at this home theater, finding others in one's social circle to watch a given movie probably wouldn't be a problem.
Of course, the investment would be huge...
I don't remember the first trip, but I do remember trips when I was young. Like a trip to a drive-in, which is something I don't think one could do in my area today. Then, my mother and I would get summer passes for movies at one theater (the one I mentioned above, which wasn't well maintained--but that wasn't something I was terribly conscious of when I was 10). In a way, while I like the convenience of watching at home, there is part of me that remembers those weekly trips in summer with nostalgia now. I have to wonder if those trips would have happened if we'd had a VCR and access to tapes, then.

My brother use to have a huge projector screen. I was like 20' x 10'. It was fairly cheap and he could set it up inside or outside.

What? Me? Really?
It sounds heavy to hang indoors.

I haven't seen the Oscars in decades, nor have I cared who or what won. I was in Morocco this year at the time it was broadcast and didn't know it had come and gone. I actually cared about some of the categories this time. A few months ago I was dragged kicking and screaming to an IMAX screening of A Complete Unknown by my partner, and I loved it, thought Chalamet was brilliant. I wish he had won. I wanted the movie to win big. Pity it didn't.
Saw Conclave on a flight to London three weeks ago. Fiennes was great, but Stanley Tucci a cardinal? I enjoyed it primarily for its recreation of the ceremony surrounding the election of a pope, for the Cinecitta' sets and the glimpses of the Royal Palace at Caserta, which now and then stood in for the Vatican Palace.
I watched Anora on my flight home. How could this have been nominated for Best Picture, let alone win? Ditto Best Original Screenplay. There must have been a huge number of split votes. Ten minutes into the movie, I was charmed by Ani and Vanya. Cute couple, particularly Vanya. Great acting. Eleven minutes into the movie, the charm was gone. I was appalled by the stupidity of the characters, particularly the vapidity of Vanya. I didn't want to listen to them, the screaming and yelling and near constant obscenities, and I felt degraded watching their antics and joyless sex. But I was hooked: I stuck with the movie just to see how it turned out. Clever plot but not an entirely convincing final scene. Has there ever been a Best Motion Picture with so much explicit sex? Has there ever been a Best Motion Picture with so much use of the word "fuck" and its variants? Sixty percent in some scenes, it seemed, maybe more. Why was this never commented on in the reviews? Modern screwball comedy was mentioned by more than a few critics. Gimme a break.
Off-topic: The best part of the flight home was reading in one sitting Dan Morrison's non-fiction The Poisoner of Bengal. Great book, fascinating subject. Very entertaining read. Highly recommended. Fastest eleven-hour flight I've ever taken.
Also off-topic: I loved Richard II at the Bridge Theatre in London. What a gutsy and energetic production! Jonathan Bailey gave a wonderfully modulated performance, and he rendered Shakespeare's prose as if it were his mother tongue. Bailey seems to be everywhere these days. His talent and talents seem limitless. His success is much deserved.
