Comment on Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos Says Movie Theater Model Is ‘Outdated’: ‘Most of the Country’ Cannot ‘Walk to a Multiplex’

The problem is that cinema is not that great of an offer. The main reason for me is the artificial scarcity. Making the only place I can watch the movie, the cinema. If I look forward to the movie, I might pay the extra to watch it straight away. I do this max once a year. Next movie will probably be the last Dune movie.

I have a large OLED and can set the volume at a level I like. I can have subtitles if I want. The couch is bigger and more comfortable. I can pause the movie for a toilet break. I have a wife and pets I can cuddle under a blanket with.

The soda, candy and popcorn costs 1/4th.

It’s just better in most ways. I think the image looks better on OLED than on a cinema screen. I also think the volume at the cinema is too high.

Lastly watching it at home is also 1/4th the price also.
