    Yup, the death of cinema has more to do with inconsiderate assholes and big screen TVs being affordable now.

    Sorry to Marty Scorsese, but I’m not going to the cinema to see some septuagenarians talk about a hit they did decades ago for three and a half hours.

      Also, you can watch movies on your PC or phone now. If you’re watching by yourself, you don’t particularly need a big screen any more, just a normal screen and a good pair of headphones.

      Provided your eyes can comfortably focus at such a short distance for 2 hours at a time, of course.

        Yeah but I’m a little old fashioned so I like to sit on my couch and watch things. And you can get a TV that’s insanely better than anything that existed a decade ago for the price of a good smart phone.
