and surround sound is part of cinema how? the most crucial films in film history were created before ‘stereo’ even existed. the point is that a movie is a visual experience that pre-dates television. in order to properly experience a film one needs to see it in its intended environment, the theatre, not on some hand held device. surround sound is just fluff. it rarely adds anything other than distraction to film…

..to get the FULL effect of the movie is to have good audio, turn the music off on a horror movie then you’ll see.
and if it is meant to be watched on its “intended” environment, which is only intended that way because of bullshit corporate rules, projectors are easily accessable by the public now, and 60’’ big screen tv’s…

and people dont appreciate film these days anyway. this is just a video of a corporate man who is losing his power to smart people.

no one’s talking about the ‘silent’ era. of course a soundtrack has much to do with the success of a film, it’s the effects of surround sound (a truely corporate achievement which dated many theatres that could not compete with the megaplexes that would pop up…) that are superfluos.

i’m sorry, but these ‘bullshit corporate rules’ you’re talking about, what do they have to do with cinema? it’s heyday was during the depression, you know, before commercially available television existed. it’s what got people out of their homes and away from their problems if for only an hour or two.

I agree, if you’re going to watch a film, you might as well let yourself be absorbed, not just preoccupied by a little feature on your telephone.
