Do you prefer watching a movie in a theatre or at home?

10. I have sort of a different problem

My husband and I don't go to movies in theatres any more because, one, the screens are small-ish, two, the cost (we live on his pension) and three, the sound quality. It's like they blast the sound so loud you can't even think (and I suffer from tinnitus and still think that movie theatre sound is too loud)

Quite often you have to endure people who talk throughout the movie or rattle their candy wrappers and that's annoying, too.

We have a nice big TV with surround sound at home, but, its the exact opposite ....I find that in order to hear conversation in a movie, the sound has to be turned way up. Then they cut to a scene full of action and it about blasts you out of your chair. One thing we often do is watch a movie with the closed captioning on so I can understand the conversation. And often times my husband can't understand the conversation, either, and he hears just fine. Does anyone else have this problem, or is it just us?

It's difficult for me to enjoy movies, period, any more..... I feel like such an old fogey saying that.....
