    Or that going the theater sucks ass. Why go when I have a 70 Oled and almos sound system. Dealing with the jack asses that talk, text, or chew loudly isn’t worth the hassle.

      Dude, I only have a 36" LED and budget sound bar and I still wouldn’t go to the cinema. It’s cheaper to rent the movie online, I can ensure my popcorn is perfectly buttered and not burnt (truly a game changer), and I don’t have to shush 2.5 teenagers every matinee night.

      Theaters are dead, man.

        The annoying children are what stopped me from going to the movies - lights go out and suddenly it’s just a just a sea of jackasses with their phones out or talking to the movie. Not worth the annoyance, especially with how much they charge for everything these days.

      In addition, theatres advertise a starting time of X:00, but the movie can sometimes start as late as X:30 after 30 fucking minutes of ads and trailers. That was my previous and last experience in a theatre.

      I have a nice TV but it still doesn’t compare to going to the movies, especially now that they have beer on tap and a nasty hotdog what more do you need

      70 Oled

      A TV needs to have more than 70 LEDs to look acceptable to me.

      almos sound system

      And it had to actually have sound, not almost have sound.

      I would like to live that dream too, for now I do fine with my 50 inch TV with light balls (I don’t even know how they are called, most likely dead leds), no sound bar, but hey, at least I have a Nvidia Shield TV 2019 Pro, which it is too damn slow for my setup on Kodi most of the times, but it behaves pretty well for everything else.
