100 percent agreed.

I am a cinema absolutist. I am a dyed-in-the-wool cineaste. I see everything I possibly can in the cinema, as it is by far the superior experience. That is a hill I will die on. I normally go at least two or three times a week.

I also don't care for streaming, and insist on physical media. If I like a film I see enough to see it again, I buy it on DVD or Blu-Ray. I have also made sure to pass on my love for cinema to my children, and believe this is a responsibility all parents should embrace.

I have lots more thoughts on all of this and related subjects, if you're interested, in the articles below:
