I wouldn't know, as I wasn't really interested to watch any of the movies a few months before they come out on streaming, plus Hollywood can go broke because of all the political things it puts in movies. That being said, I probably will watch Dune 2 this year because of the visuals. |

I watched around 12 movies for 2023 in the neighborhood cinema. With a walking distance of 2 minutes and a ticket at 5 euros (Monday to Wednesday)... Alexander. |

5 Euros is cheap, compared to the rip-off prices they charge here. I can't remember what it cost last time I went, which would have been about four years ago, but it was much more than that. I don't have any streaming services, Blu-ray or DVDs at home either. |

They started cheap days, then everything cheap, before COVID struck. |

An outlier doesn't keep an industry afloat. --- End quote --- I'd agree with that; I've seen quite a few mediocre films in the last year or so. On the other hand, they've still been better than most Netflix own-brand movies, which I initially got quite excited about when I first subscribed, but soon came to realise were a triumph of quantity over quality. A nice thumbnail and click-bait title doesn't make up for a 5.0 score on IMDB (if you're lucky). |
