John Madden Quotes

If I had the opportunity to buy the latest movie that's out that month and watch it on the comfort of my big screen TV, I would pay for that.

If you really love films, and you really want to get the full impact, there's a huge difference between watching something on a small screen with a mediocre sound system and watching it on a giant screen in a giant theater with a huge beautiful sound system. I mean, the difference is electric.

I relate more to the fact that 80-inch plasma has just started to become ubiquitous and in people's homes the fairly decent 5.1 sound system and the big screen isn't that out of reach.

The thing about movies now is in a way what it always was: The screen is huge and now the sound systems are too. And you never get that with TV. Even with a home system, it's never the same.

A 65-ft.-wide screen and 500 people reacting to the movie, there is nothing like that experience.

Also watching a movie on DVD is different than watching it in the theater.

I have a whole room fully dedicated to playing games. Special chair on the ground with the speakers in it. The whole thing.

I love entering the bowels of the cinema and immersing myself in another world.

Theatrical is fantastic. I don't think anything will ever replace the big dark room, the screen and the popcorn. You can kind of do it in your home if you have a nice screen, but it's not the same thing.

I like both Blu-ray and DVD, but Blu-ray gives you more options.

I have five television sets. (I like to think of them as a set of five televisions.) I have two DVR boxes, three DVD players, two VHS machines and four stereos. I have nineteen remote controls, mostly in one drawer.

I don't go to the cinema often anymore - I'd rather just pop in a disk and get the biggest monitor you've got, and if the quality is superb, I can watch a film, and if I don't like it I can pop it out.

I've always been a DVD geek and, before that, a laser disc fanatic, too.

The only way to see a movie is in a big theater, on a big screen, with a big bag of popcorn.

If you want to go out and see a movie and sit in a dark room with strangers, it's not an experience you can replicate at home.

The cinema is really built for the big screen and big sound, so that a person can go into another world and have an experience.

I have a few TVs.

I love IMAX.

I'm a big fan of IMAX/3-D films; I love that whole experience.

The TV world is not what it used to be. I mean, the quality has become something quite exceptional.

I'm a huge DVD fan.

I think if you're watching 'Dumb and Dumber,' I don't know whether you need to buy the Blu-ray of a comedy or something like that. But if you're watching 'Event Horizon,' 'Death Race,' 'Alien vs. Predator' I mean, I think these movies are definitely enhanced by the Blu-ray experience.

I think the greatest thing about DVD is the quality of sound and picture; the real estate to put more extras on; and, my favorite point is it stores quietly in very subtle places in your home .

Instead of watching DVDs at home, I prefer going to the cinema to get the experience.

Television, cable, features are always out there.
