Why I still love the cinema

1. My TV will never be that big and my speakers will never be that loud. Not because of technology - because my wife says so.
   
2. Trailers are like mini extra movies you get for free right at the beginning. And I'm not allowed to skip them or leave the room. I've paid my money so I'm watching EVERYTHING.
   
3. The anticipation of waiting for the film to start - it sounds odd but not having control of when I want to watch it is actually fun. You have to be patient!
   
4. I can eat food without judgement because everyone is doing the same thing. Nom nom nom.
   
5. Like the library, your kids have to be quiet and not just because you say so. I can blame the spotty teenager and say they're telling them they have to be quiet.
   
6. People like The Rock appear to be better actors in the cinema.
   
7. If the film isn't very good I can relieve tension by yelling at a stranger. The wife isn't so understanding.
   
8. If I take a friend or family member to the cinema for their birthday/christmas, I get to go too. Win.
   
9. You leave the cinema feeling like the main character. If you've just seen a Bond film, this is one of the best feelings a man is capable of feeling.
   
10. Popcorn. Eating it anywhere else feels wrong and who knew - it tastes awful.
