One of the strong sales points of the cinema experience is that it is a social experience, undupliacatable by other technologies.

This is brought up all the more because television now have such excellent quality, and television broadcast or use of BlueRay discs for example, is capable of excellent quality. People often mention how they can take a break when they want, don't have to pay the babysitter or listen to cell phones and smell rancid popcorn, etc.

I enjoy both, and they are both cocooning. One doesn't mix with their neighbors, for example. Even in the open air cinema of Monaco, you might talk to your friends before the show starts, but you don't see people talking to people around them socially (except to say - Can you smoke somewhere else please?) But I do like to see big movies in a big screen atmosphere, and I do buy sweets there when I don't allow them for myself anywhere else. Funny, eh?

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.

One of the points of the cinema theater for me is not being able to take a break...
