  • Definitely me. I’m big time into movies because when I was a kid my parents, my brother and I would all watch movies together. Legitimately like 3 times a week.

    I was ALWAYS the last one awake. I’d get up, put my brother to bed, and let my parents sleep.

    I could also quote the movie exceedingly well even after one watch at a young age - just because the world around me basically ceased to exist when a flick was on.

    Mom would sometimes wake up and go to bed in their bedroom on her own and I wouldn’t notice, with her sitting 5 feet from me.



  • I honestly can’t tell if you’re trolling.

    Also, “limiting their consumption to the occasional worthwhile thing” can also be written as:

    “spend their well-earned time actually watching something worth the investment”

    And “they might even assuage their guilt by paying for it…” as:

    “if they find content they enjoy, they’d like to show that monetarily and hopefully boost the production of more content of that same caliber”




  • Straight black but I still consider ethical:

    The entire “going to the movies” experience is terrible for me and my wife, only going to get worse with a runt on the way. It’s certainly a fault of the theater I try and attend, but I’m not driving 2 hours for a decent viewing experience.

    I pirate like CRAZY. BUT if I find a film/TV show I really enjoy, I certainly do my part in word-of-mouth or digital marketing for them. It’s certainly once it’s left the theaters but I wasn’t going to that anyway. It also gives a chance for older films/series to get some funding that I may not have picked up otherwise.

    Occasionally if there’s a film/show that’s a standout, I’ll buy a physical copy. Honestly I never open them as I have a more convenient digital copy on plex but I do put in some for it.

    That said, watch Grave Encounters 1 (not 2…) and Cabin in the Woods. I believe they’re both on Netflix but absolute top tier movies if you’re into horror for GE or horror parody for CITW, cabin possibly being in my top 5 of all time.

    Also that said, I’ve seen way too many episodes of MTV Cribs for me to care about it too much >:(
