We joined Amazon Prime over a year ago and just a few months ago discoverd it was built into our new TV - and our internet service became cheaper and no longer throttled us.
The selection is incredible, and I’m talking free stuff. If we really want to watch a new movie we can also just rent it for a few bucks. We have several hundred DVD’s and Blue Rays (since we have not had television since 1997). We rarely watch any of them any more.
With modern television quality and home theater quality, other than for 3D IMAX, why would anyone go to a theater to watch a movie? I don’t get it.
There’s plenty on YouTube alone to keep me occupied.
“We joined Amazon Prime...”
Our kids gave us Amazon Prime for a present and it’s been great. I know there were a number of things included with the membership, but didn’t really pay attention to the extras...the important things were the Prime TV and the free Amazon shipping. But there’s so much more, as I’m slowly learning.

Must be the three-day-old popcorn with the yellowish slime, their principal source of revenue anyway.
I go for the crappy parking, the lines to buy a ticket, the over-priced concessions, the sticky floors, the overly-loud commercials, the previews of movies I have absolutely no interest in, and the people around me that won’t stop talking and/or answer their phones in the theater.
You just can’t duplicate that experience at home.

The only movies worth seeing on the big screen are blockbusters and/or visually driven films like Gravity or Avatar.
