LOL! You've got that right!

If you count the disruptions from people entering the movie late, leaving for bathroom breaks, blocking your view, talking, etc., your ability to concentrate on the movie is really diminished compared to watching it at home.

As Gonk noted, only the image size is the the real benefit to going to the theater. But even the perceived value of that can vary depending upon the availability of good seats.

And nine times out of ten, the audio quality is pretty bad -- muddy bass, veiled dialog and a poor surround sound envelope.

That said, it's tempting to see the new Bond film on the big screen!
