Ian, I'm sorry you only get to see films by circumstance....thats really a shame. Certainly watching a film on screen is the best way to see it however, my Mistubishi HDTV, gives things a real run for the money. Especially on film broadcasts. Give a few years and AMC and Turner will be broadcasting HDTV all day long! HBO does now. Its really amazing with DVD's since the normal NTSC mode is line doubled. With this, Dolby DIgital, and DTS at home what more can one want? I've been the film collector route a number of times and have had 70mm systems at home, it was a lot of fun, but impractical and I'm now in a position to watch all those old glorious classics that have great stereo sound tracks that are impossible to collect. Sure I catch them in a theater when ever I can, but then, I live in Salt Lake City and that does not happen too often here, It didn't in Chicago either for that matter. Gee, I'm even hearing them better than they ever were herd in the past too. I'm very content to watch via either method. I still feel that film is the only way to exibit in the theater, and that Digital projection is impractical on a large scale for at least the next 10 years.

I'm with Ian. I have watched exactly zero films on video in the last year and proud of it! Why have a tiny picture of the Universe when you can have the whole Universe. BTW, what is DVD, "Dumbing Video Down?"This constant dissing of Lucas and Spielberg reminds me of how the simple Greeks and Romans in the BC era attributed all of the evils that beset them, i.e., sickness, plague, storms, hangnails, video, etc., to their Gods. Quit the grizzling and second-guessing or buy their companies and make decisions you think are better. It's obvious that these guys have no clue what they are doing and everything they do is simply aimed at pissing people off. This is why they are so unsuccessful and we're in the booth.

The ever-improving quality of home video display makes it all the more important to "raise the bar" on theatrical film presentation quality. The TI website makes it clear that they hope to leverage the prestige of DLP Cinema (TM) technology to sell DLP in "all the markets in which we participate", (e.g., home video). The same technology being promoted for use in digital cinema, will quickly find it's way into the home. Theatres must continue to offer better quality and value than home viewing. All of us need to make film presentation as good as it can be, so theatres remain the best and most preferred way to see a movie.------------------
