Blu-ray Forum - View Single Post - Rundown of Blu-ray home theatre vs. commerical theatre

I am hoping to get a thorough list of the pros and cons of watching a blu-ray movie in a nice home theater vs watching in a theater. I'm still waiting for my JVC DLA-RS1 projector, so my answer may not be accurate. Please try to complete/correct my rundown.

Blu-Ray movie in home theater (with a 100"+ screen, 1080p projector, and high-end surround sound speakers):
-Better picture quality
-Better sound quality
-More comfortable seating (e.g. a recliner)
-Privacy, no obstruction or noise
-Convenience, ability to pause, rewind (and do whatever else you please)
-Joy of owning the movie

Theater
-New releases
-Much more panoramic view
-An even higher resolution
-Louder sounds (without worrying about disturbing others)
-More suitable with a date or friends
-No need to replace bulbs
-No worry about becoming out of date in technology

This is not a thorough list by any means. What have I missed so far?
