I'm one of those weirdos that enjoys going to the theatre and paying that much. For me, going to a movie theatre is a way to be in a space that captures my full attention. It means going to watch a movie with intention, focus, and zero distraction. It feels like a ritual. The journey and build up to the experience is something I can't replicate at home. A change of environment away from my home lets experiences sink in deeper for me.

The people who tout "you can pause it" as an advantage of home theater are just not consuming movies the way I consume movies.

If you are in the theatre, no one is going to talk to you about the movie, or comment on it for no reason, etc.

I still regret pausing Lost Highway (like 25 years ago) so we could go out and smoke a cigarette. It completely broke the spell and the movie just wasn't the same from then on.

You sound like one of those weirdos who also thinks I should do my job from somebody else’s office
