I hear ya. Years ago, my dad and I went to go see one of the Matrix movies in the theater and the surround sound cut out for the last 2/3 of it. I got up during the showing and informed the manager. He looked at me liked I had just beamed in from outer space.

In defense of the theater experience, there is nothing quite like the collective thrill, scare, or laughter to be shared with a hundred other people.
