Feh, when I watch DVD's, I barely even watch them. I'm on the internet, or the phone or both, or working on some project, or making dinner. It's certainly not the same as when my attention is focused on a film in theaters.
Theaters are indeed fighting back, if you will, with ritzier experiences such as plush seats, reserved seats, booze in theaters, no commercials, blah blah blah - - but the thing that keeps me away from theaters most: the 100% ticket price increase of the last five years - - is only going to get worse. $20 tickets are headed this way NEXT YEAR.
That will mean more films ignored by me as the DVD plays in the background.
