Off-Topic Discussion / Re: 2022 Movie Discussion
« on: January 15, 2023, 03:38:55 PM »I only saw 25 movies in 2022. I don't think I've ever seen fewer movies before during a given year. There just seems to be far fewer movies that I'm interested in really watching these days. I find that I get more enjoyment for a longer period of time from streaming TV series.
My movie theater attendance has also really dropped off the past couple of years. I used to see movies frequently in theaters and really enjoy it, but I find that I've grown more accustomed to watching films at home now, due to COVID, and at least when it comes to new releases, it's hard for me to really feel passionate about seeing very many films anymore. Movie quality, to me, seems to have declined over the past few years. Unless a movie has amazing special effects, or a really compelling reason for me to see it in theaters, I'm just not doing it anymore. I only saw two movies last year in theaters.
How does everyone else feel about the quality of movies these days, and have you also found that you are seeing fewer films in theaters than you usually do? Is that due to COVID, a lack of interest, or a combination of the two? Or, is this not true for you? I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this.
My movie watching overall has dramatically reduced since I got married. If you look at my movie journals through the years I watched plenty each year but since 2014, it has plummeted.
It's a combination of not having the time as I did when I was single. Also over the past couple of years, even with covid hanging around, there just hasn't been much I wanted to rush to the cinema to see. I think I only saw two films at the cinema last year. I went yesterday, so hopefully there's more things I want to see this year.
