Frankly, if my friends liked going to the movies together more, I would see more movies. But weeknights are out of the question, and weekends are blessedly filled with friends. And I wouldn't trade my friends for anything, even if they're not the movie-going types - for the most part.
Screeners is IT if I want to see these films. I'm not giving up any of my limited socializing time to sit in a darkened theater alone (though I did rush to see Children of Men last week at a movie house, because I couldn't wait ... and it didn't disappoint).
I realize I'm not giving these films the glorious exhibition opportunity they deserve, but you could say the same for most of my Netflix queue throughout the year.
