Back when I was a kid, if you didn't see it in the cinema you'd have to wait 6 months to a year for the VHS to come out and then you'd watch it on a tiny poor quality TV. Cinema was amazing.

Now I have big enough TV and surround sound and I can watch whatever is released a few months later in the comfort of my own home for practically free. The huge amount of content now means unless I really really want to see it in cinema there's just no point. Most movies aren't worth it.

    When I was a kid you saw it on the big screen or you waited several years for a truncated version to hit one of the three networks. Saw Star Wars in 1977 at 6-yo, didn't hit broadcast TV until 1984.
