High Def

Ok, here's the deal I normally don't promote commercialism/materialism, but High Def is really cool!!  Tonight I finally watched Avatar; and I deliberately waited so long to watch it.  I didn't want to go to the lousy theater in P.A.(Don't get me started on that), and I was originally going to get it on HD Pay-per view, but when that didn't work out, we rented the Blu-ray.  Over the last few months, I have wondered why I am going to Galaxy Cinemas in PA?  People are rude and annoying there, the theaters themselves are falling apart, the picture quality is lousy, and the food is over-priced.  Now at home the picture is amazing, I watch with who I want, on my couch, and wearing what I want.  The picture quality is amazing and with the right set-up, better than most theater experiences.  The only set-back is waiting, but that's really an ego issue.  For me, I am fine with other people seeing a movie before me.  I am fine with TV shows making jokes and conversation that I have no clue about because I didn't see the movie.  Now I know there are amazing experiences for movie-goers like IMAX, and 3D, but I live in Birch Hills; the nearest city is Prince Albert, and it ain't cool.  The nice thing about waiting is I find out from others if a movie sucks or if it's offensive, and I wisely spend my money on movies worthwhile.  Before I would be choosey in what I spent my money and freetime on, which was not always plentiful for both, and now I think it is a better investment to use my equipment at home for what I bought it for.  My only regret is that I don't have a large living room that I could invite some of you over to watch as well.
