A new one. After quiting, Quietly Shortening :)

I wonder if this wouldn’t happen as quickly if the studios didn’t also own the TV channels.

Please release everything on streaming as soon as it’s made. Ever since covid I don’t want to go to the theaters anymore.

I used to go a lot, even had one of those passes you pay a monthly fee and could go see any movie you wanted for free. But since covid happened I haven’t been. This is partly because it got removed from my routine. Partly because I’ve been more aware of how I feel about sitting in a confined space with a lot of other people coughing, sneezing and farting. Also because I feel a lot of movies have suffered in quality the past few years. In the meanwhile my home setup has become very good, with comfortable reclining seats, big ass oled TV and an excellent sound system. I may have also reached an age I’m no longer the target demographic for a lot of movies. Even before covid I felt like movies and drinks/snacks/parking was getting way overpriced and with inflation this has gotten worse.

Rental stores have already died (which I am sad about). If theaters merely existed to serve a purpose which no longer exists, maybe it’s time they died as well.
