Those are high quality, and the production needs every dollar it can get. I'm not opposed to pirating though. Shit is overpriced I was in Best Buy a few weeks ago buying a charger for my phone, and I dropped by the movie section and Blu-ray/4K movies were like 30 fucking dollars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertman2 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 30 bucks for a movie is insane, unless it comes with nice bonuses or shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching a nice movie on a big screen TV in comfy clothes on a lazy Sunday with a fireplace to your back as you eat a nice lunch or have a nice tea or watch a film with a friend with some drinks and have all the fun running commentary you like and spending like hardly anything... Or pay 18 bucks for a film and 10 to 15 dollars for food and spend forever organizing with friends and family to get a proper time and picking up people and then dealing with loud people during the film. What I mean is there is a reason why rogue one is the only film I seen in theaters since the summer. Absolutely there's always a time and place for staying at home and watching a movie. I watch a ton of movies at home. What I meant is that a lot of people would rather pirate a new release than go to the theatre and watch it, or those who support new releases on VOD. I wasn't condemning movie watching at home in general. Of course not. Edited December 30, 2016 by JB33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, or just wait patiently until it does come down in price. What I do is look at around at all kinds of stores and buy the movies I want wherever they're the best price. You'd be surprised at the big differences I find sometimes. For instance, when I bought the Star Wars blu ray set last year at HMV it was $89.99. Everywhere else it was $99.99 or even as high as $119.99. It was weird because usually HMV is usually the expensive one! I also happen to be a blu-ray collector so I have this stuff down to a science. Edited December 30, 2016 by JB33 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's unacceptable. It's situations like that where I sympathize w/pirates... because tbh, I get quite a few movies online. The reason most people pirate is convenience. If I could watch movies by Netflix, I'd be happy. But their library is being depleted. And the film industry is being very greedy when it comes to DRM, refusing to license out movies to streaming, high prices, etc. Some people literally just don't have the time or the money to go out and a see the movie for $20, or buying a $30 DVD. And that's why I sympathize with pirates. I hate it, but the film industry is being greedy and trying to squeeze the consumer. 9 minutes ago, robertman2 said: 30 bucks for a movie is insane, unless it comes with nice bonuses or shit. I will never pay $30. What could they possibly offer? Bonuses are useless anyways. I'd pay $10 at most if I'm not seeing it in theatres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB33 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I don't know, maybe I'm just old fashioned. I read actual books and newspapers rather than stare at my phone or an iPad. I actually go to the cinema - and I make a very modest living at the moment - and buy blu-rays. I'm not judging anyone who is any different, I just personally can't stand the "everything digital and at your fingertips" lifestyle that people seem to be living nowadays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That One Girl Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 And yeah, I don't care how you watch the movie, so long as you pay for it in a legal way. If you rent it for $.99 or purchase a $50 Blu-Ray 4k Steelbook or some shit, I don't care. If you use a streaming service like Netflix or Amazon Instant Video, that's also okay. But the second you go on Pirate Bay, Putlocker, Viooz, etc., that's the second I lose all respect for you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
