I liked going to the movies before all this, but have a really, really nice home setup. All together it wasn’t that much for what it is, top of the line 7.1.2 sound system with a giant top of the line OLED for around $3-5k. Great for games, but movies honestly look better on it too. Blacks are blacker and whites are whiter. I liked the theater going experience for good movies but movies do definitively look better on my setup than in the theater. We even have super nice Dolby Digital setups at our theaters in my area, some of the best in the world, and the movie’s still going to look better on my big screen that I’m not sitting very far from and the sound is seemingly better too because you get more precision with where you’re seated and can adjust it to your liking.
Being real, pirating movies you didn’t want to pay for is also great, and you can easily make up the cost of the setup in 1-2 years depending on how many people are watching alongside you. You can pause 4 hour movies too and put on sub titles if someone watching needs it. I still support ones I’d like to support, but I can now decide after the fact, which is nice. If a movie’s going to be woke garbage then fuck them.
I’m more interested in games at this point anyway. I don’t dislike movies but most movies now are focusing on things that even bad games do better. I can’t take movie action sequences seriously anymore because it’s a bunch of shitty jump cuts and nonsense that’s trying to be a video game while failing at it. Deep, character driven stories are great in film form. Most action movies now are like shitty video game trailers that go on for 3 hours. Any time I see movie action sequences in most films over the past 5 years now I almost roll my eyes and wonder what the point of it all is.
The new Justice League wasn’t all bad but it opened with all these big massive battles scenes that I flat out didn’t give a shit about and was not impressed by. Movies now focus on all the wrong things. They were better before politics and special effects when you had to try hard to tell a compelling story with relevant and wonderful characters played by great actors. A lot of actors now, especially younger ones, almost look like they’re just standing in front of a camera and saying random shit.
The new Godzilla vs Kong didn’t even make any sense. Just make a game.
