the "experience" in the movie theatre from the nickelodions to the huge movie palaces has been the same. You're with strangers feeling the same emotion as the person next you and for that moment you have known them forever. No quick dvd releases or free online movies will take that kind of experience away
Great film guy Thanks for bringing this issue up

Interesting POD but way too long for TV. It's sad that we've let the "big screen" experience fall to where it is today. But with the surge of independent films we could make use of yesterdays movie theatres and give our
Indy filmmakers a venue and a chance to see their labors on the "big screen"
