The last thing I watched in theaters was a reshowing of the Fellowship of the Ring. Everything else is on a buddy’s Plex server. Fuck the movies I ain’t paying 50 dollars for sticky floors and shitty snacks. I can do both of those at home.
I’m with you. I feel a bit bad because my husband loves (or loved) the experience of going to the movies, whereas I couldn’t care less and would prefer my couch. But we used to go because he enjoyed it, and it was nice to avoid spoilers for big things. Nowadays between having kids and the overall experience of movie-going having completely gone down the shitter and more expensive to boot, we don’t go anymore. And I don’t really miss it. He goes out sometimes with his buddies to see a movie, and I’ll tell him if there’s something he has to wait to see with me (Dune is the only thing recently).

So you moan about lack of originality, but don’t support independent film, either? You’re just part of the problem.
