I'm at the point where shows like the sopranos I would love to watch in their entirety in theaters. I could see an era where shows have their weekly premiers in theaters in their later seasons after achieving a certain level of success.

After a season of that it would be cheaper to just set up a home theatre.
Here's what I miss, and it mostly just shows my age, and that's truly huge screens.

Modern flat panels are so large/cheap that they're a no-brainer in place of most modern theatres. OTOH, the peripheral vision-spanning screens that used to exist were really a spectacle. I remember seeing 'Waterloo' (Rod Steiger) when it came out and that was really something on a giant screen.
