Do you ever feel like you’re paying for a subscription but don’t end up using it as much as you thought? For instance, I paused my Netflix subscription after having it for a few months. I must have watched one or two movies on it. Ditto with getting an annual MUBI subscription. Just one movie watched. Actually, I bought a new TV a few months ago thinking I’d use it to watch movies over streaming, but that didn’t turn out to be the case. These days, I mostly watch short videos on YouTube about various topics including cat videos, movie clips, and video essays. I still catch a flick every now and then, even though the experience is less than great. Occasionally, I’ll rent a movie from Apple TV. It makes little sense to me to watch movies on Blu-ray because I rarely watch a movie more than once. I used to watch a movie almost every weekend at home, but this year I’ve only managed to watch ten movies, seven of them at the theater. That’s slightly more than one movie per month in eight months. How often do we think of doing things, only to find that our expectations fall short of reality?! Not that I’m complaining. It is what it is.
