Films On The Big Screen Or The Small Screen?
I love going out to the cinema; from the big seats, dark room, massive screen to the popcorn and other members of the audience sharing in the experience. It is a great night out.
But with staying in being the new going out, how do we combat this? Films on TV are notorious for being a bit dull; by the time the films are on the small screen, they have been out for public release for some time (albeit at the cinema or on dvd, etc). This means everyone tends to know what they are about already – so where is the suspense, the drama, the unknown?
The advantage of films on TV is that they tend to be a comfort to us; the traditional showing of a Bond film at Easter, The Snowman being on over Christmas, that kind of thing. The timeless classics.
How many of the films going through the cinema in this day and age will still be as popular in 10 years time?
