Cinema used to feel like an event. Now everything drops straight to streaming, gets watched over a couple nights, then disappears from conversation. Convenience is great, but it feels like we've lost that shared "everyone saw this" moment. Are films actually worse now, or do they just feel less important?

Streaming killed the hype cycle completely.

It's not worse films, it's shorter attention spans.
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong ;)

Yet you managed to sit through the avatar films?>

Cinemas are still better, people just got lazy.

Still figuring it all out

That works if you are disciplined about it, most people are not. The problem with most money saving advice is it assumes you have the time to do it all.

Not a life changer but it adds up.

I am not having that. Fitness levels at this stage of the season separate the top sides from the rest.

Time will tell on this one.

Opinions are my own. Obviously.

Exactly what I was thinking. It always comes down to who wants it more in the big moments.

Still think I am right on this.

Bit fiddly but that is the right approach. Take your time with it and it will come out well.

A lot depends on who is making the claim and what they are trying to sell. From what I have seen the gap between headlines and reality is still pretty wide.

Interesting to see where it goes.

That is the sensible approach. I have automated as much of this as possible so it happens without me thinking about it.

Every bit helps at the moment.

Worked for me too. Every bit helps at the moment.

Not sure I am fully with you on that one. Ha, yeah that is about right.

Cheers.
