Which do you prefer?
Well as for me, I still go to the cinemas to watch movies especially if the movies is much awaited or is sure to do good in the box office.
However, these days, I prefer to watch movies online because:
1. It won't cause a thing. You just have to have an Internet Connection.
2. Movies online are more updated.
How about the others? What do you think?

It is easier at home but what about the film quality.I rarely found good films that are worth downloading.Better of in a Cinema with full sound and screen.I know it's expensive but try treating yourself once a week or once a month for a movie its more worth it.You don't have to stay home on an uncomfortable chair, go out change your surrounding .... try avoiding piracy.

I dont watch movies online becasue whenever I've tried to do it, the movies alwyays get chopped up somehow. I have yet to watch movies all the way through online. I don tend to watch many movies on dvd though. Doing htat is alot cheaper than actually watching movies in the theatre.

i prefer watching movies in the cinema though i am guilty with the first option. the reason why i prefer the latter is because i find the flick more thrilling if it's watched in the movie house.

Actually, I watch Pay-Per-View on TV. It's alot less (around $4) and the whole family can watch! I only go to movies for the big movies, like Harry Potter.-And even then..I go to the matinee/forst showing to sace cash.
If I can get it online and I am the only one watching, so others don't have to crowd around, then OK. But we have 5 in the family, so it does not always work.
Or if a friend gets the DVD and we have not seen it yet, we borrow it for a night and get it back the next day. Or if we get one, we let them borrow for a night. We do save money? But if we all want to watch it..Pay-per-view works!
