> That's interesting. My thought is, because I'm married, I don't want to drag my wife to a movie that I'm pretty sure she won't like because it will cost us double. If we both want to see it, then we'll spend the money. Somehow, she has the power to make me go to movies that are on her list, but not mine, much more often. I try to make her go with her sister or a friend so we don't have to pay for my sometimes unwanted ticket (Bridget Jones Diary is a good example. I refused to spend money on that movie but didn't mind if she did).

Oh, good point. I still won't go see a movie unless I ACTUALLY want to see it for myself. And since I never initiate the movie-going process myself, I never end up dragging people off to a movie that they would not want to see. One exception to this is a friend's birthday or similar event-- I will go see a movie I am not too interested in just to celebrate the day with a friend. This isn't usually a problem, though, since my friends are all nice people who try to pick a movie that all their friends would want to see (if they do decide to go to a movie for their birthdays).
