How I imagine people who say their TV is just the same as a 70 foot high theatre screen. (lemmy.world)

Sitting close to a giant tv just isn't the same as seeing something on a legit giant screen.

Oh absolutely there are advatnages to both. I was at a movie last night and not being able to pause it to use the bathroom was incredibly frustrating.

But for size/scale, which is the specific thing the post is about, there ism't really a comparison.

I've made thoughts on this clear already, but I'll regurgitate them here xd:

Being around annoying people is shit. The prices are shit, the screen is shit (look at all the imperfections on the display surface.) the sound is incredibly loud and a lot of times, shit.

I'll stay at home, make a nice spread, watch the movie on an hd screen with great sound and surrounded by the people I like. The movies are dead. Museums.

Really not the case, I agree with what most people are saying in here and I have an expensive home theater and I go to an Alamo Drafthouse which doesn't let people talk or be on their phones and it's an awesome experience and a lot of the new movies this year were sold out on weekends and their discount days. The right theaters and experience is still plenty alive.

I have a 135” home theater sitting 13’ away. I think it’s a sweet spot, didn’t cost me more than my 65” tv in the living room And I do appreciate big screens I went on 3am showing for Oppenheimer in 70mm.
