I see what you're saying...especially about remembering a movie more when you see it on a larger screen. But there have been a lot of times when I've felt more distracted in a movie theater than at home, depending on the audience. Like, at Bus 174, I had Snotty Nose Chick down at the end of my row (and I should've handed the bitch a tissue) and behind me was Loud Popcorn Munching Guy. The audience distraction factor got so bad for me at one point that I stopped seeing movies in theaters for probably a year. I don't have those particular kinds of distractions at home (and I turn the ringer off on my phone), but like Mynoriti said, at home sometimes it takes me several days to finish watching a movie.

But I do agree the Bus 174 should really be seen on a big screen.

janey, I need you to school me on movie theatre sex, for real. How do you do it without being totally obvious to other people? The most I've ever done is a movie theatre hand job, lol. ks
