media watching

I would love to go watch movie in theatre rather than watch on my computer. I need to have enough amount of sound to be in that mood which the movie provides. And also I love watching movies with other people. Actually I watched the same movie twice in different locations; the big theatre and the small theatre with almost no audiences. Of course, I enjoyed the movie when I watched it in the big theatre. Probably it is because I can share my feeling and mood with other people who experience the same images. However, when I have no time to go to theatre and watch, I just download the movie and watch alone. It is better to watch it alone than watch with others, because I can focus on story more. The other day I watched D-War (Korean Movie) at the movie theatre, and it totally got me. I am not so picky about what I am watching but I NEVER watch horror movie. I think that the world is already fearful that there is no need to pay to watch those movies.
Recently I am curious about documentary movies and independent media production, but then I don’t know where to go to watch them.
What I am really interested in is how the people in the production gather and put things together to make one project. I hope I can figure it out more as this semester goes.

Movies do seem better when you watch them in the theater rather than at home by yourself. In the theater, I think, you are more involved with the movie. Instead of watching the movie on maybe a 54 inch television, you are watching the movie on a screen the size of the entire wall. Having the movie projected on that large of a screen is able to capture your attention that much better.

and....When you are watching movies at home you might also be doing a bunch of other things, while at the theatre the movie is the only thing that has your attention. Unless you are on a date. :)
