to each their own

of course and the DVD/video scene has many advantages. Convenience and selection. And the picture can be very nice, I have a friend with a big screen LCD and it seems fully satisfying. However...film is just much more detailed and richer in obvious ways. Saw House of Flying Daggers the other day, kind of slow, but beautifully photographed, sumptuous visuals. You can see the tiny details of the patterns in the clothes, in the autumn landscape colors. The fine details simply do not exist on DVD, it is too coarse. If an HDTV format comes along, that will come closer. Whether it is the details of the visuals, the darkness, the lack of a running timer, I am able to get far more involved in a movie in a theater than in a home. It is well worth the admitted hassle to me. All you say is true, inconsiderate people, endless advertising, lousy sound, etc. But when the movie starts and you settle in, it is far better than video.
