What does bother me is when I go to an actual movie theater and they've fvcked up their own masking system and I can see the movie is not matching up with the actual screen. One of the last times I went to see a movie (a rare occasion now), the left side of the image was a full 6-8 feet farther than the screen went, which was really distracting

for theaters, just go ask any employee to get that fixed. At the theater I worked at, some screens would have more than one film showing, depending on the show time (4pm show would be one movie, the 7pm show could be a different movie), and due to that, sometimes the booth manager would forget to change the projector setup. So, a movie could look completely screwed up. If someone approached me, all I had to do was call over the radio to the manager and it would get fixed.
of course, it was kind of funny because all of our screens, the movie image would actually reach maybe an inch above and below, and sometimes that bottom inch or two would show what was at the top of the frame previously. nobody ever noticed, but I thought it would be a little distracting.

Instead of complaining, I put it on my list of things that I don't like about actually going to the theater so I have more justification for my own HT.

sometimes I like watching movies at home on my setup. you don't deal with people snickering and making jokes about characters. My most memorable one is from the lord of the rings movies. I think it was during the two towers. Some immature person says "they're gay" and you hear half their row just laughing. It was a serious moment in the movie and it was just very distracting. I'd rather be able to watch my movies quietly.

I just can't enjoy a movie with people talking and making noise. At home I have no distractions and arguably better sound/picture. I don't think any theater uses TrueHD do they? Lets not forget the before mentioned projector issues.

some movies are more enjoyable in theaters due to the impact of the sound. Who knows what sound quality they are using, but the bass absolutely trumps my paradigm sub. Transformers in the theater was insanely awesome. Picture quality was crap in the night scenes (very grainy), but still enjoyable due to screen size and rumbling.
Not having a projector of my own that can make a big screen, the awesomeness of the home theater is not as good. I absolutely want a big theater.. some day.
