I gave up on the cinema experience a long time ago. The last movie I saw in the a cinema was Spirited Away. I had downloaded it out of curiosity and was impressed enough that I wanted to see it in good quality. I went to an 11pm showing at an independent cinema that was showing the original (non-disney) version. As it was an independent cinema there weren't that many ads, but that was the only good part. The sound was distorted, the picture quality was so bad they could have been projecting the same rip I downloaded and the movie was constantly interupted by a large group of kids talking because the couldn't or wouldn't read the subtitles.
I haven't been back to a cinema since. I'd much rather watch movies at home. No ads, no interuptions, no food/drink police. The screen is smaller, but being able to stretch out (I'm a big guy and I need leg room) right in the sweet spot while eating/drinking/smoking as I choose more than makes up for it.
If they'd release the DVDs quicker I'd probably watch more movies. As it is I often seen promos for a movie then forget about it only later to see it shown on TV and remembering I wanted to see that ages ago.
