> The experience of watching a movie at home... is far superior to anything a cinema could offer. This, at least, theaters seem to have realized. Increasingly, (urban) theaters are offering seat choice at booking, cushy reclining chairs, real food, and full bars. Sure, you've got to go out, and dinner and two beers will run you $40. But if you don't care about cost, you can at least see new releases under conditions as nice as home. It might be too little, too late, but there's at least some recognition that a big screen and good sound are no longer a theater-exclusive draw.
