i get your point. but I suggest that movies in person will be more and more a minority experience. the evolution of movie theaters began as television replaced movies for much viewing. so the comedy shorts and b pictures disappeared first and the film business tried to lure folks in with bigger pictures also cinerama and wide screen. I remember seeing Patton in the old Criterion. Giant screen and stereo sound. It was truly stunning. So the opening scene with the flag... the sound overall was stunning in an era when many of us still played music on small monaural record players.
The multiplex was an effort to keep movie theaters opened. It worked too. But for those of us who are older and no longer enjoy going out to families with kids - easier to watch TV at home - serve pizza and call it a night.
To agree that the theater is the best place. But i still suggest that the future is elsewhere. Radio still exists but the brightest stars are not there.
Hey, the era of the tonight show and similar is probably over too.
Next you are going to tell me that bacon is just going to be phased out. I just retired! I want more theater experiences! But I gotta admit parking makes me angry right off the bat. Then the girl in front of me who says 'oh, what should I get Popcorn? how big is it?'
