The last movie I saw in a theater was 11 years ago. I waited 2 solid years for this movie to come out, and was super excited. I went early in the day to see it trying to avoid annoying crowds, but ended up sitting by a group of people who talked the entire time and had their phones on bright as day during the whole movie. I literally came back the next day to re-watch the film so I could maybe try and enjoy it.
After the re-watch, I left the movie theater and never came back. Now, I've invested in a giant movie projector, I've got plenty of snacks I buy at REASONABLE prices on tap, big comfy leather couches to settle into, and great sound. I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything clearly as nothing has motivated me to go back. Years ago it used to take an entire year for a film to be released for home viewing, but nowadays the turnaround is like 3 months and even sooner if its on streaming platforms...
Do you still think going to the movies is worth it for you?
