I used to love going to the movies

But over the past few years I’ve moved to first getting a bit annoyed at other people to now where the experience is often ruined by others. So I was already done even before COVID.

Now, I might never go to the theater again. The only way I would consider going back is if they changed the entire theater to be more like the personal karaoke rooms you see in Asia. But I’d still prefer to just pay a premium and watch a new release at home.
