It does, actually.
There's a huge difference between something on a 40x20 foot screen and
something on a four foot diagonal screen.
You can make the exact same argument for lots of classic Hollywood
films, well, it's black and white, and mono sound, and mostly it's
people talking, so why not just watch on television. Until you see a
properly maintained 35 mm print on a big screen.
If you can't see the difference, I suppose, there's nothing to be done
for ou.
