Cinema is probably dead in 6 months

What's going to replace it? Streaming? People still want the big screen movie experience which they can't have at home (most homes, at least).

Obviously, you've never heard of Home Cinema, which is better than sticky, noisy, public cinemas in any case. And you can pause the movie for a whizz anytime you like, too!

"Obviously, you've never heard of Home Cinema"

Sure I have, I have a tendency to watch movies at home myself, but still, it can not compete with the real thing. You can't play movies as loud as you would like to because of neighbors. If you don't have neighbors (or don't care what they think), then good for you.

I play movies deafeningly loud, but contained to just my ears. There's these things called earphones, you see. Really smart, nifty invention, and you get all the sound and don't bother anyone else into the bargain, too! Brilliant if you watch movies alone.

reply

You don't get sense of subwoofer low frequencies with earphones.

reply

You do with in-ear ones.

reply

Its not the same, you sense low freq with your body, not only through ears.

I had a speaker set with a woofer once, disturbed my mother too often. Had to sell it again, soon afterwards.

They said the same thing when video clubs that rented VHS and Beta got out.

It's here to stay.

reply

Really? Would YOU go into a cinema that hasn't had any human occupation for many months, with all the dust settling (literally) and the bugs and whatnot taking over?

reply

Really? Do you seriously believe that cinema owners did not think this ahead and would risk their own business by not hiring cleaning crews to make sure everything is clean and in top shape before letting clients in?

So to answer your question: Yes of course I would go. And if it's too dirty for my liking I'd ask for a refund but there won't be any need for it.
