This Just In: Home Theaters Do Not Suck
Posted by Brendan Goetz in "THOUGHT" @ 01:00 PM
"Why home theaters rock: The little screen: …Last time I went to see a movie on opening night, I showed up late and ended up in the first row needing a neck brace…No interruptions (unless I want there to be): If a cell phone goes off during a movie at home, I don't have to wonder what idiot forgot to turn his phone off, I know who it was and I can answer it if I want…Try getting the projector operator to back up a few minutes because your mom wanted to know how you're doing and why you never call."
I agree with a lot of the things this guy has to say in response to this article. While I am always at the theater on opening night, at Midnight, when a big movie opens, I am finding it harder and harder to find a theater that is not full of rowdy teenagers and people who think it’s ok to bring your two-year-old to the first screening of Hostel. I like the big screen, and the big sound, and my girlfriend not being able to tell me to turn it down, but everything else tips in favor of the Home Theater. No talking, no seat kicking, no dumbass with the Dukes of Hazard ringtone. Just me and my Aquos. Ah Aquos, you will never betray me.
