#2 and #3 really don't make sense any more. If you can't afford a $100-200 TV, then how the heck do you afford $20+ tickets? The TV will pay for itself very quickly. TVs are dirt cheap these days, and the "small" ones are not much more than $100. (I put "small" in quotes because that's for a 32" screen, which when I was young was considered a fairly large screen.) And if you can't find easy access to that movie, then just watch another. Basically you're saying that cinemas are for people with exceedingly poor impulse control.

As for #4, I can only "force" my bladder so much. At home, I can pause and take a bathroom break; I can't do that at the cinema.

As for the "loud noise", deafeningly loud noises are bad for your hearing. At home, I can set the volume to an appropriate and comfortable level.
