Living somewhere where you need to drive is a whole other set of problems.

I’ve enjoyed seeing movies at alamo drafthouse and similar. It’s okay if you don’t. But I stand by my original claim that more people would go if they had more money.

I did say “more people” not “all people”.

Also, go to better theaters. Alamo Drafthouse (I think they settled their union busting problem) for example will kick people out for being disruptive, and has pretty good food delivered to you at your seat.

Also there’s a pretty big gulf between “Let’s spend $60 for dinner and a movie” and “let’s spend $1600 for a home theater setup”

People are social creatures, and many people enjoy watching something with a crowd.

Me, I prefer watching at home so I can be comfortable and piss at my leisure. But every so often as a change of pace I’d go see it in a theater.

I’m confident more people would see films in theater if they had jobs that paid better and worked them fewer hours. My friend with a full time office job and bartending gig at night trying to make rent isn’t spending a lot of time and money on theaters.

It’s like that meme with the dog saying “no take ball, only throw”. The rich don’t want to pay us any money, but they want us to spend a lot of money.

Remember to download anything you buy on Bandcamp. It’s possible for it to go away, I think if the artist pulls it, and then you’re SOL.

Other than that, great service. Definitely recommend buying music over renting it from Spotify
