And you can't really argue that King's Speech plays just as well on DVD/Blu-ray if not better since you don't have other people using

their cell phones to text someone else or just plain talking to the person sitting next to them. Plus, the image quality is much clearer on Blu-ray than theatrical, which is hit and miss.

Why would people see this in theatres when it'll play just as well once it hits DVD/Blu-ray? HarryWarden Aug 10, 22:12

Well clearly there is an audience for it....or are you saying that African American films and or Indies do not deserve theatrical release? {nm} 1bloke Aug 10, 22:22

Yes, Harry, are you saying that? {nm} Apokalips Aug 10, 22:50

why did King's Speech make $138 million in theaters? or Midnight in Paris make $45 million?? mickpix Aug 10, 22:30

Not every CGI spectacle is crap. Critics actually liked the majority of this summer's so-called spectacles. {nm} HarryWarden Aug 10, 22:34

If you go to a good theater, just about everything but movies shot on consumer-grade video play better in theaters. {nm} dsbman Aug 10, 22:48

Good point....can't tell you how many times I've yelled "Stop texting I can't hear the movie" to the guy 4 rows down alfpaul Aug 10, 22:48

lol {nm} Apokalips Aug 10, 22:53

Screw it, let's just get rid of the theater experience as a whole! Who needs it?! Apokalips Aug 10, 22:58

Just because you don't have standards or expect theatres/people that go there to be respectful doesn't mean others feel the same way. HarryWarden Aug 10, 23:07

People have been talking in movie theaters since audiences paid to watch shadows projected on a wall. It's just a fact of life. {nm} Apokalips Aug 10, 23:11

When Troy came out in 2004, a random girl sat on my lap to watch the movie. O.o {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 11, 02:25

there are less distractions at the theater than at my house {nm} islander Aug 11, 05:12

HAHA. I could definitely see that. {nm} Juiced Aug 11, 06:29

Cinema doesn't have to be only about spectacle. Jane_Citizen Aug 11, 01:41

I agree. As much as I love action movies etc, I still enjoy character-driven stories about people's relationships with each other. accountant_4_Jesus Aug 11, 02:14

IMO, seeing THELP in theaters is about seeing it early. The fans of the book don't want to wait to be able to discuss it. {nm} nat1kos Aug 11, 06:49

Hmm .. Is she hacking my computer now? grammar Aug 11, 03:08

Nah, she can just read your thoughts :P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 11, 03:11
