PFC5,

I think I have shared this same thought process in another thread, but at $8 for the feature ($5 for the matinee) the SD-DVD is a super buy. Kids can watch the same thing over and over, so that $15 keeps paying dividends.

Bladder problem? Hit pause and take care of business. Need more popcorn (cost = 79 cents per bag, which makes enough popcorn for a month)? Same process.

Do I miss the big picture & sound? Last two movies I went to had focus problems. If I want the same sound as the theaters, I can crank up the volume and have someone in the back talk out loud (or on their cell phone). For the full theater experience, I need to pour sticky Coke on my floor and scatter popcorn. Perhaps drop old chewing gum on the floor as well.
