I'm glad you find it hilarious. Does MoviePass have competition? If not, then of course I have no better alternative since they're the only ones in this space.
Better alternatives to what I laid out? Sure, restrict to, say, three devices so if I forget my main phone, I can use my work phone, or I can let my wife go see a movie from time to time, etc.
Feel free to pick everything apart, I'm simply speaking in terms of a subscription service being reasonable for usability. This is why it's always been horrible. And keep in mind, I paid for a one year contract at $30/mo for it, so it's not exactly armchair criticism.
- logfromblammo 8y agoThe competition is always to not go see movies in theaters. Theaters have just barely been holding on to my business for weekend matinees, between 0 and 2 times per month. I get that the movies-in-theaters industry seems ripe for disruption, but people are already doing that by not going [as frequently] any more. It's nice that MoviePass is trying to throw a flotation ring to the theaters, but when I heard Disney was unilaterally upping its take from certain movies that it will be distributing, and pulling out of Netflix to pursue its own streaming service, I started looking for ways to replace certain elements of my entertainment. The industry itself is killing the golden goose, and I may just go back to reading fantasy novels by the shovelful, and trying out all those games I licensed on Steam/GOG/Humble and never played, and binge-watching niche shows on Netflix/Hulu that would have been canceled from regular television.
