Not going to cinema means saving lots of emotional pain created by the actual cinema experience:

  • Ads

  • More Ads

  • Trailers

  • 20 minutes of that shit (despite paying for the movie!), movie finally starts. Now this happens:

  • People talking during movies

  • People watching phone during movie

  • People eating candy (loudly) during movie

On top of this, what are the odds the movie will be good? I think ive been disappointed by almost every movie this year, so thank god i didnt watch them in a cinema.

Modern cinema is an elongated television episode. The era where it made sense for many people to congregate to watch a film like a theater play ended long ago. Now TV is best seen alone or with friends (or family)
