Re: HDTV brings the movie theater home said by fifty nine:Big, wide screen and surround sound brings the movie theater experience home. Despite advances in TV technology, watching a movie at home is still a third-rate simulation of the movie theatre experience. 
Seriously, unless your "big, wide screen" measures 20 feet by 30 feet, you're not experiencing anything near what you get in a movie theatre. The idea behind watching a movie is that what's taking place on screen is larger-than-life.
A 60-inch HDTV is nice to have, no question, but let's not kid ourselves by claiming that watching a movie on one is "just like" watching it in the theatre. It isn't, and that's why people are still perfectly willing to shell out $10 for a movie ticket.
I do agree completely on the cell phone thing and am lucky enough to have found a theatre where that sort of interruption is kept to a minimum.
