I find that too, but I thought it was a sign that I need glasses.

Alot of people are saying that the cinema is nt worth the hassle, but Ive noticed with every film that Ive ever seen at the pictures and again on DVD , TV whatever, that the film was always a much more enjoyable and exciting film when seen at the cinema. Its to do with the screen size, sound, occasion etc, but any actioner must be seen at the cinema for appreciation.

As for digital, it might be sooner than you think, film quality isn't that great really :p

Me too! They usually get three cells at a time, perhaps two sets per framed 'picture' - which still isn't a hundred quid's worth if you've got half a brain in your head :p : The ones I got have four sections of film, but as the film isn't valuable it doesn't matter really. They just look nice in the mounts with a movie photo.

Far as I know, most large films are totally digital now, with film copies being sent to cinemas who can't show digital. Spielberg refuses to use digital technology (which surprises me) but most other big names use it now. That's just what I read a while ago in passing, it might not be right.

I have a simple rating system for films, which goes something like.
Cinema, PayPerView, DVD, Sky Movies, TV.

There are very few that make it into the top three categories! But that's not the point really, you sit in and watch the TV every night, going to the cinema is something different.

I agree that we watch TV every night and the Cinema is something different. But I cannot tolerate the aggrevation that you get at Cinemas these days. ERxpensive tickets, expensive food and drinks, people talking on their cellphones, cellphones ringing, people text messaging on their cellphones, idiots with lazer lights, the person next to you hogging the armrest, the person behind you kicking the chair. I could go on and on.

The only movies of the past five years I bothered to watch at the cinema were the Star Wars and Lord of The Rings Trilogies as they are a must see on the big screen.

I prefer staying at home and watching in the comfort of my home with cheap food and beer, no distractions and a comfy couch to plonk me ar$e on :p :

Must admit, even with a wad of free Vue tickets on the mantlepiece, we still stayed home to watch far more films than we went out for this past six months. In fact, the last few tickets will be out of date before they get used I expect.
