    My problem is there are so few good movies coming out. I’m completely over the superhero crap. I don’t want to see the next random Star Wars thing. I don’t want a remake of a classic film I loved when I was younger.

    There are some originals coming out, and that makes me happy, but I think the key is having good movies people actually want to see.

    That said I’m interested in seeing Sinners, but I’ll probably wait to stream it, lol.

      My problem is there are so few good movies coming out.

      Lots of good movies come out all the time, they’re just not as aggressively marketed as superhero movies, mainly because they’re not as profitable as big-budget movies.

      but I think the key is having good movies people actually want to see.

      That’s not necessarily true. Just because a movie is good doesn’t mean it will make money for the studios/theaters.

      From last year, we had “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga”, “Transformers One”, and “The Fall Guy” - all good movies that bombed at the box office.

      That said I’m interested in seeing Sinners, but I’ll probably wait to stream it, lol.

      …and this attitude is why we will never get good original movies.

      Also, I’d prefer to rewatch stuff that it’s best enjoyed at the cinema. I don’t want a remake. Just rescreen the original movie, I’d totally pay for it

        Some smaller, local theaters allow you to do that, you can rent out the the entire theater and have them play a Blu-ray of the film on their projector.

        The only problem is that it’s absurdly expensive, since you’d be paying for every seat in the theater.
