Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

It's expensive, often less comfortable than my own home, and I like theatre in which the crowd plays a part in the experience, in movies the crowd is often detrimental to the viewing rather than the other way round. Additionally upkeep of a lot of the movie theaters near me is dismal and the cost to benefit ratio of waiting to stream the same movie in my own home as many times as I want says no. There is the possibility of me buying a ticket to support a movie I'm really interested in but I'm probably not going to actually watch the movie.
This is why I don't understand the "big action movies need a cinema, small comedies you can watch at home" argument. My home theatre can replicate the big-screen action experience just fine, but a comedy with a crowd is immediately 35% funnier.
