One of the things I have realized lately is just how picky I am about what I will watch. I have literally hundreds, if not thousands of choices now (HBO Max, Amazon Prime, and Netflix, as well as a temporary membership with HULU and the full line of movie channels that Cox offers...and there are still nights I find nothing I want to watch.
How did we do it when there were just 3 networks? LOL

And a black and white tv that could only be hung on a wall with bunch of lag bolts and a few anchor chains. And rabbit ears with two rolls of aluminum foil.
Yes, that's like paying $40+ for just a couple of movies. And to expand on what I said, I was talking about the new releases that pop on then seem to just last a week or two. I never seem to have time to watch.
The "Same Day Premier" movies, those that premier on HBO Max the same day they are in theaters, are on HBO for a month. So for example, when Dune premiers on October 22, it will be on HBO until November 22. It might eventually come back to HBO after a few months. Wonder Woman 1985 was originally on HBO from December 25- January 25, but is not currently back on HBO to watch. It just depends on the distribution deals these movies have. But considering HBO is owned by WarnerMedia, there's a pretty good chance that these Warner Bros Pictures will be back on HBO after their initial run.

Thanks. Yes, I was exaggerating a little. I know new releases are on for longer than the 1 week I was saying, but when I combine my schedule, my other TV I'm regularly recording & watching, etc., by the time I look up, it says, "___ movie is ending in a couple of days."
If I had extra money, I'd sign up again this time for HBO Max, but I don't think I will this time.

I liked it when we all watched the same shows. We had "watercooler" talk the next day about our favorites. Kinda miss that.
We have HBO so MAX is free, but I had to get the Firestick to get MAX. My 4 year old TV just wouldnt do it.
