I love watching films, however, I don't like going to the cinema! We don't have a decent cinema here, so it's about a twenty-five mile round trip to the nearest good one. Even once you've got there you have to mill about in the foyer whilst waiting for the doors to open, then there's the interminable wait through the trailers and adverts, getting out of your seat every time somebody walks past, and so on - it's all too much hassle!
Feeling like this, it's no surprise that I was a fairly early adopter of the DVD. We have a fairly good 5.1 surround sound setup, so the only thing that will really make me go to the cinema now is wanting to see something on a big screen.
However, my days of doing this are numbered. Over the weekend, a friend of mine borrowed a projector from his office and coupled it up to his DVD player - result, a movie picture with a diagonal of more than six feet - the proper cinema experience in the comfort of your own home!
This is something I'll buy into at my first opportunity. It's only a shame that I can't see much likelihood of doing so by September this year.
Why does that matter? The original three Star Wars films are going to be released then on DVD!
