And another is that most have far inferior audio to what we have at home.

Sadly most people WANT loud volume. Whenever I've complained it as too loud hardly anyone else understands what I'm on about.

And here's the rub. My wife is constantly complaining I have it too loud at home!!!!

Maw, give me a DVD or LD, a comfortable couch, a glass of red, and full control opver everything (except my wife) and I'm a happy peanut (we say happy little vegemite here in Australia but you probably would not know what I'm talking about, or would you?)

The only time we go to the movie house these days is when my wife wins free tickets from some competition, and then it is with earplugs & under sufference. Apologies if I sound a pain but Perhaps this might explain why -
