Early matinees are NOT better. Maybe in the boon docks, but not in the NY metro area. You think you're the only one who has the brainy idea to go to the first half price showing and beat the crowds? Yes indeed, I love 35mm over my DLP. The means, in this case, do not justify the ends. Too much to rationlize for a good print. Ambience? The best and loudest ambience I ever heard was when A Hard Days Night opened. That was ambience...couldn't hear a thing until years later when I saw the movie on TV. Man, I could go on about the negatives, but there just isn't any movie worth the pain in the ass. Sure, on vacation, or the like, I'll hit some movies with my wife. It's just not going to be an evening or afternoon activity back at the ranch. Tinear how can you be an isolationist while you're watching a movie with the one you love? In this case my best buddy in the world: my wife. You're saying it's my hand? That's like saying, "I live alone with my mother." There's a paradox for ya. I'm grooving with my new home audio system. Just watched On the Waterfront, and tonight it's Run Lola Run. Now there's a soundtrack for ya. Will show off a nice audio system and make that movie....a happy one to all. peace, warren
