Other advantages home viewing has over the theatre:
- For the price of two tickets, I can practically buy the film outright and watch it as many times as I want.
- I don't have to sit through 10 minutes of ads before the trailers even start, let alone the feature.
- I don't have to deal with annoying audience members who either a) won't shut the hell up or b) don't turn their cell phone off or c) bring their children who can't sit still for two hours to the film.
- I don't have to pay obscene prices for drinks and snacks.

That's factually true. We used to buy a lot of DVDs, in part, based on that same reason. However, outside of a handful of our favorites we don't tend to rewatch our DVDs more than once or twice. I wonder how many other people are in the same boat...
