Great thread
Nothing beats going to the cinema for me - the anticipation, immersion, visual and audio experience of watching a top quality film is something I have enjoyed for most of my life. I went to see Dune on the IMAX twice, which was absolutely brilliant, as was Bladerunner 2049, 1917 and many others
I also thoroughly enjoy going to art house cinemas, like the Broadway in Notts. I watched the original Bladerunner (a special one off showing about 10 years ago) and Into the Wild there. The latter is such a powerful and emotional film, the tears were just rolling down my cheeks at the end.
I get bored of all of the DC / Marvel films as they’re just so samey. The exceptions being Deadpool and Guardians of the Galaxy. I found the latest Spider-Man to be a bore fest and found myself dropping off. The latest Batman looks good though, so I hope to go and see that before it hits the DVD / streaming services
I use to have a 5.1 surround system but could never enjoy it properly. My partner at the time hated all the speakers being around so it was never set-up, to keep the peace
and when I have lived on my own it’s either been in an apartment or a modern attached house with very thin walls so was always mindful of the volume and my neighbours
