Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

To me, much more so, yes.

At home I am much more comfortable. There's a coffee table to put my drink on instead of a seat attached drink holder. I can put my feet up without bothering anyone. Nobody's kicking the back of my chair or rocking the connected row of seats. There's no kid crying/making noise or using the phone. Nobody's getting up to go pee in the middle (and if they do I can't pause it).
Also, the sound quality in "most" theatres doesn't even come close to what a good home system does, plus you can have the volume where you want, not where they think it's best (often overly loud).
Bottom line is I can become much more immersed in a movie at home than with a group of noisy strangers around me. A very dark room (walls, ceiling, carpet and a black-out window) help as does an 84" picture and a nice surround system. When I had my 35" the involvement was not there so much.
Do I go to the theatres (?), maybe once every year or two. Mainly for comedies as then I feel the audience helps the ambience.
