In response to Teresa Concepcion's inquiry about theaters with the best projection and sound, Mick LaSalle emphasizes the Dolby Theatre for its superior audio-visual experience while highlighting several notable venues that excel in showing quality films. He also addresses Michael Biehl's concerns about watching movies over multiple nights, explaining that while itâs common, it undermines the experience of deeper films that require attentive viewing. Cinematic art necessitates a captive audience to fully appreciate its subtlety and complexity, which are often lost when films are diluted or fragmented during viewing.
"In the sense that I think you mean it, the best sound and picture is at the private Dolby Theatre on Market Street. As for what's available to the public, I have no love for the Metreon, but its IMAX theater is very good."
"Cinema is an art form that assumes and needs a captive audience. Movies are made with the assumption that you're small and the screen is huge... that you can't rewind anything, so you have to pay attention."
