Re: The Big Screen vs The Small Screen

My girlfriend and I used to go see a lot of movies in the theater, but over the last few years we've maybe only seen four or five - Phoenix Forgotten, of all films, being the one that somehow lured us back since It Follows.

I've never watched much regular or cable TV - I subscribe to Shudder, which in the last two years has been 75% of my viewing. Shudder has a pretty wide range - speaking of Wheatley, I recently watched both Kill List and A Field in England through them - and unlike its rival Frightpix doesn't have the commercials, which I think is well worth the six or seven bucks a month:

I find Netflix's recommendations useless - given the complete disconnect what I actually watch and rate on Netflix and what Netflix recommends, I'm either an outlier for their algorithm or the entire setup is just a marketing ploy. That said, I do like Stranger Thing and the reboot of MST3K, and did recently watch The Windmill there, although I only discovered it through scrolling looking for a throw away slasher.
