as all bars, restaurants, cafés and gyms, cinemas, theatres, leisure centres ordered to close
what about sports, reading any other hobby that is not gaming.
not everything has to cost money?
Also if where talking cinema's the cheap variant is netflix use that instead.
The post is obvious hyperbole.
That said, sports are definitely a no-go right now. I wouldn't recommend it. Also, Netflix is terrible and not even close to be being an alternative to cinema, or bluray in terms of quality or quantity. I've come to realize that Netflix is basically the 21st century HBO. I'd rather pay for exactly what I want to watch than pay a network to spoon feed me content that I may or may not want to watch.
Sit ups, push ups etc can be done at home so excercise can still be done. It is most definitely recommended to stay in shape.
Also netflix is only around 10$ a month or less and you can always cancel it per month. also for a couple of $ more you get ultra HD. only the most picky viewers will give a damm about the minimal quality increase with blue ray not to mention that most people are perfectly fine with the basic setting wich is plenty good.
One time to the cinema costs more for a single movie for 1 whole month of tons of series and movies. also it doesnt need to be netflix you also have stuff like hulu.
Eitherway the value is way better than a cinema if that's your kinda stuff it's pretty hard to say it's bad value if your watching tons of movies. also it's not a subscription in wich you are stuck for 1 year you can cancel it at any month.
single blue rays or trips to the cinema are pretty pricy in comparison. but I get your point, paying for the stuff that you want to watch right now.
but again tons of series. the better older movies like lotr harry potter etc, not everything is there at all times but there is a rotation. There is a reason why these kinds of subscriptions are so popular these days.
Cinema's and physical movie sales really are declining thanks to these sites. The only things that are holding sites like netflix or hulu back is competition from other sites trying to earn big money in that subscription bandwagon making certain shows exclusive to certain sites. and ofcourse the brand new movies wich are cinema obviously not on these sites until some time has passed.
seriously though netflix compared to the extra channels you get when your paying extra for tv with them cable services. It's not even close regular tv will go bankrupped at this point leaving only news channels sports and talk shows behind. normal series and movies on regular tv are so hard to watch, only certain times usually not in order skipped episodes even with the premium channels for the extra stuff.
Getting seperate blue rays is nice and all, kinda a rough task and a pricy one at that probably more pricy than the cinema unless your going 2nd hand. but again convenience of sites like hulu, netflix is way better for most people or a seperate rental most people don't rewatch movies multiple times they only need to see it once.
