I find the first sentence very hard to believe. Even in the poxy, boxy multiplex booths the screen is rather large. As cinema film has an ASA of about 8 (eight), the resolution required for electronic projection would be well outside present capability. Not to mention colour saturation, or the lack of it...... On the other hand, modern cinema is generally designed for people with limited intellect and excess disposable income. mike
