pictures?

No ... we have a five year old who cannot sit through a film without
constantly querying everything that happens. This tends to annoy
cinemagoers.

I'm 6'3" tall and probably about 220lbs ... cinema seats are not made
for
people my size. I hate sticky carpets, sweets stuck to seats and people who
think it's OK to chat away while the film is on or decide that it's a hoot
to throw popcorn at each other.

At home I have a 72inch wide screen, I can watch what I want, when I want.
I
could have a beer while I watch, can stop the movie part way through if I
want a pee/drink/snack. It even sounds better than my local fleapit!
