I'm so disconnected I don't even have Netflix or any other streaming service
What's television? Is it that thing boomers use?
TV and streaming sucks. Movies suck. I've seen so many of them in the past that there's really nothing new out there that's any good any more because it's all just rehashing and reimagining the past. Same with gaming. Same with books. And music. We're so buried under a ton of entertainment that we can just stop making new entertainment and watch everything done in the past and still have enough to last us our entire lifetime. So what's the point? If we're going to have streaming, give us everything old -- EVERYTHING -- for a very low cost or free with limited ads and stop making new shit for your platform, all on one service.
I hear this a lot and do understand the sentiment but oh man in the last 3-4 years there have been so many great original and lower budget not blockbuster movies that have come out it's great. Horror has really had a renaissance in the last 3 years with fresh ideas and plenty of new actors who are very good. It's just not the things that are ever advertised a ton and probably have to scrounge through trailer YouTube's to find them or sign up for newsletters. Some examples from recent years are Barbarian (2022), Infinity Pool (2023), Monkey Man (2024), The Holdovers (2023) and Perfect Days (2024).
sounds like you only focus on pop culture bullshit.
try getting into shit that isn't designed to entertain you. classics, art films, art music, etc
It is a very big monitor
At least, that is how I use it.
