Where's the data? Let's have some references to all this high quality stuff.
- hughrr 5y agoWell The Expanse quite frankly teabags to death 20 years of science fiction moves. I can't watch anything else now.
- DubiousPusher 5y agoThe quality of genre work has increased mightily but it really does feel like the budget has fallen out of more high minded stuff like "MOON" and "GATTACA". Maybe this isn't real. After all, we've had some pretty good snooty stuff. Ex Machina, Interstellar, Arrival, etc. Very much could be just how much Avengers flicks have absolutely dominated the marketing. I think it's akin to how music seems to have died of you listen to the radio because the decline in listenership has resulted in more pop stations playing the absolutely most widely appealing stuff. But there is a thriving ecosystem off to the side that's way fuller and more varied than anything we had in the 90s.

- ctdonath 5y agoThe local cinemas have at most a dozen movies available at any one time, maybe one of which is interesting. One viewing requires $10-50 in assorted expenses. For $10-50 monthly, I have available approximately every movie ever made - and I don’t have to leave this chair. That is, at any given moment, one good movie vs all movies ever. Data sufficient.
- Y_Y 5y agoCertainly not. Even the most torpid of us doesn't find the time or interest to watch all movies ever. Must likely the major cost here isn't your subscription fee, but the amount of limited leisure time and energy you can allocate. I'd be doing well too watch one movie a week if I was trying and I'd say that's not much to worse than average.
- ctdonath 5y agoIt’s not that I can watch all movies ever, it’s that I have all ever to choose from. Every movie I watch can be great, thanks to streaming.
