There's definately something to be said about going to the theater. It is an "experience" that is different than the home theater version. Unfortunately that "experience" has gone down hill over the past 20 years. Movie theaters have replaced union projectionists with teenagers. I rarely get a print that's as flawless as an HD movie at home.
Personally I think the hollywood people should adapt and attempt to actually innovate for once in their life. Take the Steven Soderberg approach. Release a movie in the theater, on dvd and over HD-Net all on the same day. Take a look to see what the consumer actually wants. I wish every movie was released that way. I'd still probably see a few in the theaters but overall I'd still continue to watch them all at home. Netflix is my friend.
