    Jeez I’m old enough to remember paying to go to the theater so I could watch a movie without commercials

      I mean we had VHS, I went to the theater because I had a 20" zenith in the living room with 2" speakers.

      And the broadcast movies were crap. You’d have something really nice once every few years.

      HBO really was a ready of light back then, but my TV was still tiny and sad by today’s standards.
