After I watch movies, the first thing I comment on is whether it was worth the bucks on the big screen or if it was a stay at home watch on my tv in the living room type of film. Does it really make a difference?

I think it is always better on a big screen, the sound effects are so much better, but when the weather is so bad it is sometimes better to stay at home and watch on your tv.

With today's technologies, you can get a theater experience in your own home....IF you can afford it! Watching a movie on the big screen is a shared experience with fellow movie goers. You tend to get the "vibe" of the crowd. "Grindhouse" may have been the best theatrical outing I've been to! We were all into the whole movie from beginning to end. And the buzz after was great! When it came out on DVD, they separated the two and that REALLY took away from the whole thing for me! Plus, when you're at home, there are so many distractions that take you out of the movie.The phone rings, someone visits, the dogs are barking, the neighbors are fighting again, etc. I prefer the theater, but will always buy DVD's to watch when I don't want to go out. :)
