Cinema rant - grrrr

On the plus side, at home you can stop/start the film when you want. The refreshment thing isn't really an issue, as, in my experience, most cinemas don't stop you taking in your own. They can't, unless they do bag searches (OK, so the larger cinemas do this, but most don't.).

I don't think Cinema is going to die anytime soon. Yes, celluloid is relatively expensive, but a lot of cinemas are being upgraded with digital projectors that just use standard digital video files (usually WMV), which can be stored on disk (although current optical discs don't usually have enough storage).

mines 73 inch across the diagonal of a anamorphic 2.35 : 1 and if you sit at the right distance it perceives to be as big kinda lol also my sounds better hehehehehehehe

x264 or HD WMV and CCCP codecs and a good old pc

I reckon size v distance mine (screen) is as big as the cinema screen in Kendal I watched Shrek 3 on the other day. Plus since mine is digital it has no scratches on the print like the cinema version.
My popcorn is better plus I can get fresh chilled beers and also stop the film to pee :-)

Off to watch Simpson's the movie on it now.

What ones the better one? Im looking to acquire it :lol:

I really do prefer seeing films in the cinema, The experance of going in, sitting down in front of the big screen and sound system and waiting for the film to start while watching trailers of other films you might want to see. You go with friends and the room is packed with other people who are sharing in the same experance. There is something special about seeing films in the cinema. Some of the uniqueness and fun is taken out of it when you download a film. Thats, if, you get a good quality version. I would prefere to have the film on DVD at the same time as cinema so I could watch the Simpsons Movie again.

Also, as far as i know, you cannnot get good quality versions of films to download anyway. There are always camera jobs expect in the rarest of files (correct me if i am wrong )

Why do the inconsiderate little gits do it, I wished I'd said something now but didn't really want to cause a scene

It was more than a tad irritating I must admit, but I got to sit next to you so it made up for it

The best cinema I've ever been in was in Leicester Square in London.It was a late afternoon/early evening session and the cinema was empty.It was bliss.We were sat at the back in the luxury seats.Cost me a small fortune but it was worth it.After an afternoon on my feet the seats were wonderfully comfortable.

We saw Sin City..Very good.

I think the problem is most people are used to seeing films from the comfort of their own armchairs at home, so they treat the cinema as an extension of their house.
