I'm never going to a movie theater ever again

In what is ostensibly a capitalist society, why would I ever choose to pay for something I can get for free?

Re: I'm never going to a movie theater ever again

1) Because you like it, you like that somebody made it, and you wish to show your appreciation.

2) Because it's faster and easier just to buy it.

3) Because you have morals?

4) Because it's better in the theater.

But, perhaps these reasons don't apply to some people. If I don't like the fact that kids are noisy, people don't turn off their cell phones, and a$$holes ruin my movie going experience at the theater, then I can see preferring to watch a movie at home.

What if I don't want to be force fed a bunch of adds? Then, maybe I'd rather not pay such a high price for a ticket to have my time wasted doing something I didn't want to do.

Maybe the movie is just mediocre and not worth the price to see it in the theater.

Too many people are trying to make too much profit off of movies, the price of a ticket is already too high, yet the theater doesn't get much of a cut of that? Ridiculous. Corporations are too greedy and I wish it were true that they were loosing money from downloads, though I'm not sure that's the case.

Before the VCR there wasn't a market for selling movies to home viewers, now the MPAA thinks it's their God given right to get $20 from everyone for every crap movie they put out on DVD?

They should simply embrace the next technology and not shit on their customers by annoying and suing the public.

$uccess

I know of many struggling amateur filmakers who would LOVE to have their works pirated so widely. They would love to have achieved such a high level of success that people were downloading and pirating them, because with that also comes the commercial success that many of these films are seeing. The fact that it costs almost $100 to take a family of four to sit in a sticky seat and see a bad movie and sit behind some smelly couple who block my view while they talk on their cell phones and I eat a $4.75 bag of popcorn and drink my $3.50 pepsi is a JOKE. And until that changes I WILL continue to download movies and I know how to protect myself so that noone sees it and I don't give a damn if some jackhole on BBR disaproves.
