Licorice Pizza - I saw it twice on 70mm and loved it more the second time.

One note on the HBO Max subscriber numbers, a big caveat is that we don't know how many of that 78.3 million users conflates the HBO GO (or whatever it is called) cable app and HBO Max. Also, I'm not sure if they still give it to AT&T customers.

Still, they make a lot from streaming. I think it is completely dumb and short-sighted to give away theatrical and PVOD before it goes to the streamers, but that's me. Something about streaming reminds me of the housing boom of the 00's.

They are still giving it to AT&T customers (I have it).. otherwise I wouldn't have it. I watch essentially no TV these days, and very little on stream.. I think I have kind of become post-video to a large extent. I would rather play a game that I participate in than watch a movie of TV show (and, BTW, I am 60, not a youngster).
