   I know 'time is money,' but sometimes with all the streaming services I   
   will just 'stumble' on something. I have no problem turning something   
   off that's just not hitting it, and I've found a few good ones that   
   way too!   
      
   But I guess if it were a decision about spenidng time and money going   
   to the theater... That's a different story...
