I haven't been to a movie theater in years...and have no desire to do so. I have my dedicated home theater dialed in to the point where I just don't feel it's necessary. When I shut my door and cue up a dvd, I'm in complete control. If I feel it's too loud, I turn it down. If it's not loud enough, I turn it up. If a particular film has overly saturated color, I adjust it. Bass too loud, not loud enough...taken care of. And, most importantly, if I need to make a pit stop or step outside for a breath of fresh air, I don't have to miss a single line. I have a pause button. Life is good.
