&gt; The problem with the movie industry is that they are so self absorbed that they think people owe them a decent living. But in reality they&#x27;re a luxury.<p>Another way to look at that, is that when I afford myself a luxury, I want to be treated well.  Today, when I go to the cinema, I am treated like a potential criminal - I am spoonfed  threats about being prosecuted for piracy if I take a photo of the cinema screen with my mobile phone camera and I am spoonfed 20-30 minutes of advertising before the movie I paid to see.  None of that gives me a sense of &quot;luxury&quot;, but rather a pretty seedy feeling of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
So the next Friday, I light a scented candle, pour a cognac, put some brillat savarin on the table and turn on Netflix&#x27;s latest series.
Now, that&#x27;s luxury.
