The film industry is so afraid that it even ran an ad for Cinemastreamers during the Oscars. This company streams movies in buildings that seat hundreds of people. The screen is completely automated and requires no interactive controls. You can even buy snacks like popcorn and soft drinks while streaming.

It’s a novel idea, but the problem is that it costs a family close to $100 to go to a Cinemastreamer building. Also, you can only view one stream at a time and can’t flip selections until you find something worth watching. I don’t think it will survive as a product.

I have to admit, I love going to Wikipedia to find out how a terrible movie ends while I’m watching it.

If I’m streaming the movie, I cut my losses and move on to the next form of mindless entertainment.
