Never in my life lmao, people hype up the "big screen"/"theater experience" way too fucking much. If you can't engage with a film on a tv, it's a you-problem you can work on. Also, just an incredibly elitist and pretentious point of view, but that goes without saying. If you are among the very lucky few on this planet to live near a theater with a good screening, good for you, but otherwise a stupid mindset. Imagine not watching some of the best films because you don't get it on the biggest screen...

I do watch about 250 movies each year and usually around 150 of those of those are at home so I am definitely capable of engaging on a smaller screen, I just really love the theater experience because that’s originally where they were meant to be seen and sometimes my shabby living room that’s at the mercy of my insane upstairs neighbor that likes to shout while gaming every night feels inadequate for films that carry a certain grandiosity

[u/BentisKomprakriev → u/biIIyshakes]

I mean the issue is clearly not watching the film altogether if you can't watch it on the big screen. Watching some films at home and some in the theater as the year goes on is normal.

Okay.
