"I’ve discovered the movies are actually BETTER at home now then at the theater."

What? How could not like the constant buzz of cell phones, the migrating light of smart pones, the constant conversations of rude patrons, crying babies, coughing and hacking sick people and the occasional outburst of violence?

Don't forget the $30-worth of two large sodas, a large popcorn, and stale Goobers.

;)

We bought a 46” led edge lit 1080p set a couple of months ago (we sit about 6’ away from it) and have had a blue ray player for a couple of years. I’ve been a stereo/hi-fi junkie since the early seventies, so you can get a feel for the sound system we use. We saw War Horse last week at a local theater and, other than the fact that it was a lousy movie, I couldn’t help but notice, from the git-go, that it was blurry and the lighting seemed off from beginning to end. Turns out that is just the way it was filmed, but the picture sucked. and yes, it was actual film. You could see the “reel change” black dots on the upper right just before reel changes.

We’re so done with theaters (except for the occasional imax 3D)
