I bought a DLP projector, a 100 inch screen, surround sound and I won a dvd player from GFY... fuck i never go to the movies anymore, I got better shit in my house.
By the time a movie is released on DVD, I already know if its a flop or not.

The problem with watching movies at home is that you can stop them anytime you like. When you study cinema, one of the things you learn is that, unlike books and video tapes/DVD's, a film just keeps going which requires more of a commitment and involvement on the part of the viewer. You're sitting at home watching a serious film on your home system and your cell phone goes off or the timer timing your meatloaf goes off and you hit pause or you rewind/back up to what you missed. The flow of the story is gone.
Watching movies at home is shit compared to watching them in the intended theatre environment.
