That is a non-answer. You argued that it is "simply pointless" to watch a movie in the same setting I did.

I disagree. I very much enjoyed the experience, ergo it was not pointless: it brought me pleasure.

I was just pointing out that it is indeed possible for people (maybe not you, but other people) to enjoy movies without the luxuries that you afford yourself. You asked a question ("why even bother watching a movie like that") and I answered.

I also ask that you take into consideration that not everyone can afford to watch a movie with the luxuries you describe. That is ok too. Please don't gatekeep watching movies is all I ask.
