New New Year's Resolution: I am not going to watch a single Hollywood movie in a theater all year.

I live in PHX now for crying out loud and I've got plenty of options including one team in every major sport, band concerts large and small, stand up comedians, the theatre ... (I'm sure the list could go on)

This will not only take my dollars out of Hollywood executives like those who run the MPAA but also put them in the hands of entertainment creators closer to me and where I live, all while taking the need to pirate Hollywood content out of the equation because I just don't need them.

I'd like to encourage others to make the same resolution, or at least reconsider whether you MUST see some stupid movie like The Dark Night Rises in its first run at the theater and instead spend that $20 at a local Improv.

I'll also be checking here (Reddit) to see what is happening locally and whether its any good or not, so help me out.

TLDR - not going to movies anymore, instead spending my entertainment dollars locally, hope some of you join in, counting on the rest to show me where to spend my money
