Theatres are where the creators of a movie intend you to see it. Movies are made for *audiences*, not for someone sitting on the sofa. They are socio-artistic events best appreciated when the screen dominates your vision. Go to theatres whenever you want to see *anything*. DO NOT WAIT FOR THE DVD!clark
