Interesting comments. One of the probs I have begun to notice in the past year or so, when attending the local cineplex(es,) is that many movies have parts that are just too damn loud for me. I rarely see the action genre movies (Bruce Willis, Will Smith, Vin Diesel etc) that are intended to have very loud passages.... but lately just your average drama, mystery, documentary etc. often have parts that make me cringe (due to the volume.) I think this is a combo of my hearing getting more sensitive as I get older, inadequate audio equipment in the theaters and the volume levels of these movies slowly increasing over time.

I do have many of the same issues as others have posted regarding seeing movies in a theater vs. watching them at home. However, I still find myself getting to one or two new releases a month in the theater.
