I love it! I understand how it goes with the life stuff, I’m just lucky that it worked out really. Definitely keep an eye on them in the future, you can get refurbed and factory seconds of 13s now from https://frame.work/marketplace, so by the next time you’re hunting that may be a decent option for less money! Still pretty expensive, but at least they’re less!
I have better snacks than popcorn at home, that’s why I don’t have popcorn, but others do buy popcorn at home for making on a stovetop or microwave explicitly for watching movies at home.
I’m not even against using existing IP, like say adapting comics or books, but they need to stick to the source imo and not just be cash grabs, and preferably adapt something creator owned instead of big two, if comics. I am usually against rebooting an old series like alien, and always against remakes like Total Recall.
And I didn’t even mention the fact that practical effects (even bad ones) are my jam and CGI is just lame to me unless used sparingly and well.
