I mean, I like movies. By the time Oscars roll around I suspect I'll have seen nearly all of the BP nominees. I will likely have watched none in theatres (unless Avatar or Top Gun get nominated; neither deserves it but the "new" Oscars might dictate they get a nod). It's really just not necessary to see Tar on a big screen.

I know.
For my family of 3 going to the movies and getting snacks, that would pay for a streaming service for a minimum of 6 months. It makes no sense for me to go to the theatre. 2 hours of entertainment vs months of even better programming.
