  • I guess I can see the appeal, though for me this seems mostly like an issue with the home setup.

    For me, I don’t really care about price, it’s not that expensive.

    But what kills it for me is I can’t vape or pause the movie or rewind or flip on subtitles or control the volume, I can’t take a break to take a piss and I can’t comment on the movie with anyone I’m watching it with and I get to pay 20 bucks plus waste my day on travel so I could hear random strangers munch popcorn while I am forced to watch military recruitment ads and trailers for movies that somehow outslop actual AI slop that are always called some shit like “$80s_intellectual_property_name” or “shit world: dominator” and they always seem to have that one lady from the avengers in them.

    At home I watch web-DLs (and BDRemuxes for special occasions) on a 24 inch computer monitor with somewhat dodgy 2.1 Logitech speakers (basically classroom ones but with a subwoofer unit) from over 6 feet away and I lounge on the chespest IKEA couch. It feels like paradise to me honestly. But thanks for the perspective.









  • Eh, idk, but to me rogue one is still whatever honestly, that movie is peak nostalgiabait for the most part with a serviceable plot that keeps things moving like a series or short levels of Jedi Knight or something so you can keep munching popcorn, and the cinematography and setpieces are actually really good.

    Sure it’s now even more fun because the characters are fleshed out in a primetime TV drama that came out years later and I do rewatch it more often because of that, but it’s like saying revenge of the sith flows well with clone wars S7, nah, not really, there’s an island of quality between the two.
