"excessive theater prices another problem discouraging attendance."
I think there's more... like home theater becoming less and less expensive. And the cost of owning movie titles becoming less and less and in better and better electronic formats.
I love my Hitachi 51 HDTV and my Onkyo receiver and watching a movie on DVHS at 1080i in the comfort of my own home. Or a HD movie from VOOM at 1080i with DD.
Agreed.
I have a big monster TV that can be upgraded to HD. I am confused as to the value of HD, since I do not watch sports. Will they have to re-release movies in the new format? Will everyone's present libraries of movies become obsolete? I don't own many, but Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) has made a lot of money off me...
