Re: [ARSCLIST] DVD video to iPod

It wasn't the case when I grew up in the NYC suburbs, including after all the "grand old theatres" 
(which were usually rat-infested fire traps) had been divided into multiple screens. At least back 
then there was a projectionist on duty and the theater chain at least employed a sound system tech 
to make sure thing were working from time to time. The first outbreak of multiplexes were actually 
good, they had comfortable seats, screens designed for the space, spaces that were not tunnel-like, 
and usually decent sound systems. But all that went away years ago. Plus, I gotta say, people are 
darn rude these days. Who thinks it's OK to keep a cellphone on or talk during a movie? I don't have 
the time or patience for any of that. I guess I'm just prematurely cranky.
