I prefer home viewing.
There's just too many factors involved in movie-going that piss me off...crowded theatres sometimes, kids that simply need to be taught to shut the fuck up during a movie (step in parents...) I mean sure...I don't wanna tell anyone to not take their kids to movies, but I think that honestly if theyre younger than five, they should only be able to go to certain sessions. What else...crappy overpriced food, filthy bathrooms (sometimes), the whole phone thing - there's always SOME cunt that leaves it on.
People talking at an extra-loud volume, thinking that the cinema environment magically transforms them into the funniest person ever...but theyr'e not..., occasional B.O issues, feet on seats, chair kicking, people having no idea how much distance to keep from you when the place is relatively empty....I'm sure there's more, but there's nearly always three or more of these factors goin' on at any given time.

At home, I have a selection of many more films on both dvd and vhs....sure, they're not as new, but whatever, at least the ones I own are ones I'm garaunteed to like, so, less dissapointment, I also have a very large tv, pretty decent sound system.
I'm at home, more relaxed...and hey, if you gotta let one rip, you don't gotta worry.
Better selection of food more often than not, I can have anything I like, and not pay 5 times the average market price.
Not to mention pizza...pizza and movies...great combination - just you try and order a pizza at a cinema. Nope.
Bathroom is nearby, and the ability to actually PAUSE something is available. Less people cuts down on the majority of the "piss off" factors. If my phone rings, I can pause, and answer it...while not being an inconsiderate fuckwad who interrupts the movie of those that don't have the option to pause.
That, and...I really don't get into going out that much...and when I do, there's many better things to be doing than going to overpriced movies.

Sure, if it was absolutely JUST down to viewing...like say, if I had my own personal cinema...sure, it's gotta be the cinema, but taking all connected factors into account, I definately prefer home viewing.
