I live in a different type of area I guess

"Unless you like paying a fortune"

Movies cost 7 to 10 dollars where I live- not a fortune to me.

"to sit on seats caked with a layer of gum, soda and popcorn,"

never happened to me

"and deal with people texting, coughing, farting, kicking your seat and talking."

sometimes people talk- not often- my smell is obviously less sensitive than your own, as the farting has not been a problem for me.

While I will gladly admit that Blu-ray is a damn sight closer to the movie theater experience than DVD, well, it's still not the movie theater experience. The resolution of 1080p is not anywhere close to 35 mm film. Ok go ahead and say the projectors are out of focus, you never achieve ideal film resolution, etc. etc. But if you are honest about what you actually see on a screen, you will admit you see more detail, i.e. more resolution in a movie theater than on your home TV. Look at the pattern on a wallpaper for example. Does this matter? To me it does.

The real point is that the Godfather is not playing in theaters and the BR version is a fine option to enjoy the best possible home version of this great classic. But there is no need to denigrate movie theaters. If the Godfather were to show again in a theater, that would be the best place to see it.
