Hey Collider, I was wondering what you knew aboutMartin Scorsese’smovieSilence. From what I could tell it is supposed to be released around Christmas (probably to get in on some Oscar business) and then go wide release later in January. Yet, I haven’t seen any trailers or marketing for it like we are starting to see for other movies that are doing the same thing, likeFencesorA Monster Calls. I’m really excited to see this movie, having read and loved the book, and I’m hoping it won’t be too long till we see it. Have you heard or seen anything from this movie and are you looking forward to it as much as I am? Thanks!

I have a bunch of movie theaters available to me of varying quality and venues. However, I have found myself gravitating to one specific theatre to watch all of my “must see” movies. The problem is that, while the movie theater is by far the most comfortable and the only theater around me that allows seat selection, the screen and audio quality are not as good as others in my area. Am I missing out? So I guess my question is two fold. First, do you have a single movie theater you use to see the more “important” movie viewings? (yes, we all know of Dennis affinity for The Prime) and second, if you had to choose between the two would you rather have comfort and convenience or quality of audio/video?
