Sitting close to a giant tv just isn’t the same as seeing something on a legit giant screen.

    Especially seeing a movie in Cinerama format. There was a Cinerama theater in Seattle but it was owned by Paul Allen and I don’t think it ever really made money. But he kept it a special place that would have movie marathons with all the old films he had collected. The yearly 2001 showing was a must for me. That movie is just not the same after seeing it so big and so loud

      Oh wild, never heard of that format!

      I’m really lucky, 5 minutes from my door there’s a local theatre that does awesome classics, cool events etc (like, I saw Oldboy there last night.) But fully hear you, once you watch a movie on the big screen like that, the home viewing just doesn’t compare.
