"This is circular reasoning. You are saying it would be inappropriate to press pause in a theatre." Yes... and that's "circular"? Plus I meant, with live actors doing it."And exactly what do you mean by a "legitimate" theatre anyway? :-)"
"Legitimate theatre" refers to the drama stage. It's a term.
>legitimate theatre
>noun
>1. The body of plays by traditional dramatists as distinct from other kinds of dramatic productions such as films, TV drama, vaudeville, etc.
"Sounds like you have an emotional attachment linking the experience of watching a film with going to a cinema." That's confused. I'm stating that the theatre affords a far greater response, emotionally and otherwise, than any home outfit and you won't find a single director who disagrees with this view.
