"Being part of the theater environment, they certainly are part of the "theater experience", albeit a distracting part."No they are a part of certain experiences. They are not a part of all. Heck you can have that problem in someone's home too.
"The distractions are just that, and would be more likely to be tolerated if the films were pristine prints, sharply in focus with decent sound etc."Soemthing that I have already explained is a reality in this world. Along with theaters that enforce a code of conduct that prevents audience based distractions. But you are still dwelling on an issue I was not trying to address. I guess even after I spell it out you insist on harping on issues that are utterly irelevant of image quality and are totally circumstantial and far from universal.
"Unfortunately, since most movies aren't the above,"As explained to you before. Ther are theaters that use the best projection equipment and the best prints etc. and enforce a code of conduct and clean their floors.
" there is little reason why I should have to deal with the annoying distractions."You'd rather settle for a vastly inferior picture. Fine your choice. Doesn't change my point. That being there is a huge divide between the quality available from film and home theater.
"As I said earlier, if your local theaters are more pleasant than mine, by all means enjoy them."I do
