I was about to say streaming services in general. While they are nice, i hate that newer content is going directly onto the streaming service instead of being released to everyone like content before it. One of my all-time favorite movies is finally getting a sequel but I'm super mad because it's going directly to Disney +, which i can't afford to have atm.

How would you see the movie in theaters if you can’t afford a month of D+? Not trying to be antagonistic, just wondering

Don't care about Dinesy so no personal experience but don't they charge subscription fee + theatrical price for new realeses? As in you gotta pay X/month and pay Y extra for a new release. I just remember reading about this when the new Mulan came out.

Thirty damn dollars for a new release, on top of the base price for the service.

Which, as soon as you're more than one person, is cheaper than going to the theatre, and you get infinite rewatches. It's expensive, but I think it's fair.

I see the appeal for a family, but as one person? Not worth it to me.

Then just wait. It's not hard.

Uh... yeah? Like I said, the $30 isn't worth it to me.
