Yea, why would I drive to a theater, pay for parking, pay for tickets, pay for concessions, and no one is fully paying attention to the film?

I might as well stay comfy at home, stream on discord for free, eat my already paid for food, and save a shit ton of money without becoming overstimulated by strangers.

There’s even a sub/channel/mag right here on Lemmy that does this. People vote on each week’s movie and then watch it together. Pretty fun.
