Yeah, bring back original movies like Hundreds of Beavers, Conclave, Memoir of a Snail, The Substance, A Real Pain, Babygirl, The Last Showgirl, I Saw the TV Glow, Challengers, Wicked Little Letters, Love Lies Bleeding, Origin, The Zone of Interest, The People's Joker, Kinds of Kindness, Poor Things, All of Us Strangers, The Holdovers, Anatomy of a Fall...
Yeah, I watched it because it was on TV and I was in the mood to just veg out and watch something stupid, and I found it...fine? Like, it's definitely not bad enough you can enjoy ragging on it, so it's not as fun an experience as something worse while also not being very good, it's just there.
There were people suggesting given the age of Bruce Wayne in Joker, that the Phoenix character probably wasn't The Joker, merely an inspiration for him. Harley showing up in the sequel would seem to refute this theory.
It's expensive, often less comfortable than my own home, and I like theatre in which the crowd plays a part in the experience,
This is why I don't understand the "big action movies need a cinema, small comedies you can watch at home" argument. My home theatre can replicate the big-screen action experience just fine, but a comedy with a crowd is immediately 35% funnier.
Maybe you just don't like movies? I've seen tons of films theatrically this year, almost none of them mainstream blockbusters.
