This whole movie thing is going the wrong direction. Personally, I *NEVER* watch a movie at a theater. Netflix could strip their service down to the bare minimum and I'd still subscribe just to avoid having to overpay to watch even a great movie in an uncomfortable theater versus watching it in the comfort of my home on my home theater system. So I'll wait.
Here is two of my typical patterns:
1. A well-reviewed movie is released to theaters. I want to watch it so I download it even if it is poor quality (spare me the lectures). When the movie comes out on DVD or BluRay, I buy it, otherwise it's just a one-time watcher.
2. A movie is released to theaters, but only receives mediocre reviews. I wait until Netflix gets it, watch it, and if I like it I'll buy it, otherwise it's just a one-time watcher.
To be clear, on the same day the movie was released to theaters, if they would release it on Blu-Ray and/or DVD as well for even $30-40, I would buy it and keep things legal. But I will never...EVER...watch a movie in a theater. That's just stupid, uncomfortable, and a waste of money. I mean, what is this? The 1960's? Movie theaters are outdated. Who wants to watch a movie with a bunch of strangers who are no doubt talking, laughing, coughing, blocking your view, getting up to get more food, go to the bathroom, etc., bringing their underaged brats to an inappropriate movie, all while sitting in an uncomfortable seat in a bad position to the screen with the volume too loud, and your feet sticking to the floor because of what you hope is soda or popcorn butter. No thanks.
