I don't think my theatre has traditional windows. I'm glad though, it'd be hard to see the screen during the day.

But you’ll never own a copy on a DVD/BluRay.

Yeah thats the part he leaves out. Only place we will get access is Netflix.

And I vow to continue to wait till they get to streaming.

The only theater with traditional windows is your living room.

These guys sure can't write a headline.

They'll do it for maybe a year, then enshittify it like everything else (not that WB/MAX/HBO/Whatever-the-fuck-this-thing-is-called) isn't already shitty, it'll just get Netflix shitty.

I'll pay $3 for fifty cents worth of popcorn, not $10. I stopped going years ago, especially once they started showing ads (but didn't reduce the price of admission). I'm def not paying to watch ads. I have to deal with that shit at home.

Theater lobby vs streaming lobby. YAY!

Frankly, as long as they stop memory-holing completed projects like Zaslav did, it will be at least a modest improvement.

I’d say it’s been about two decades since I’ve sat in a traditional movie theater. And like eating anything McDonald’s, I have no intention of breaking that streak.
