On the other hand, I look forward to the speedruns of the demos.

Going to a movie used to be a social event - meeting up with a group of friends. Post-pandemic, only one of my friends wants to go to a theater. My wife is so-so on the movie theater experience.

It is indeed wild how cheap and how good TV’s are getting.  I made sure to buy a TV which can be jailbroken, and all the ads and telemetry nerfed.
