VANCOUVER TRENDZ [THURSDAY]

Big Comfy Couch

August 23, 2007

The Screening RoomTheatre audiences continue to drop, possibly a side effect of the popularity of big flat-screen televisions. The price of High Definition television has plummeted in recent years and you can get an equivalent  if not better, experience at home viewing a DVD than in a noisy, ad-filled theatre. Game systems such as the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 further extend the usefulness of flat screens. And then there are video stores like Videomatica and The Screening Room offering movies beyond the usual mainstream fare, which means you can always have something new to watch at your own movie palace. You bring the popcorn.
