I’m finally ready for the future of film – even though I thought I wasn’t

The Oscars once turned its nose up at Netflix, but a wasted movie pass proved to me recently that we shouldn’t try to fight the tide of modernity

Six months ago, I signed up for an unlimited movie pass at a cinema, allowing me to watch as many films as I could devour.

It costs $25 (£19). A steal, I thought. If I watched 10 movies a month that would be $2.50 per flick. Total bargain.

Reader, I’ve watched four. It’s cost me about $40 per movie. I’ve made a huge mistake and I’m locked in for another six months. I love movies; I just hate movie theatres.
