Fuck cinema. I’d rather watch movies on Blu-Ray with a 1080p TV.
September 24, 2010 at 4:15 pm
True.
September 24, 2010 at 6:50 pm
False, tv will never match the experience of cinema.
September 25, 2010 at 6:21 am
You don’t have my TV.
September 23, 2010 at 1:39 pm
Most cinemas would be dead if this was real and I was the only person “torrenting”, kittens would still be alive, though not many.
September 24, 2010 at 2:49 pm
Pretty much what I was thinking.
September 24, 2010 at 12:34 pm
3D is coming out for TVs. Cinemas are doomed.
September 24, 2010 at 12:47 pm
Fuck all of you. Cinemas kick ass!!! Nothing beats the cinema experience, unless you have a cinema in your own house with a HD projector and comfy seats( I wants). I am still bummed one of the last drive ins closed down nearby.

You can kill off cinemas,but you can`t kill off Pirate Bay.God knows they`ve tried.
September 24, 2010 at 1:13 pm
This cinema, is actually great. I saw ‘Taking of pelham 123′ (original) there last year. It’s an independant cinema in the centre of london, it’s just great. It has a sense of humour, too, if you didnt guess.
September 24, 2010 at 1:16 pm
I love going to cinemas in the US. Great atmosphere, people applaud and laugh when needed.
In Taiwan, its complete silence. No applause at the end, no laughter, no emotion.
FUCKING ROBOTS. WHERE ARE YOUR SOULS???
September 24, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Why would you applaud a film if the director/main actor/writer is not in the room?
September 24, 2010 at 1:48 pm
Thanks, that’s what I was gonna say. It’s only a screen and I want to be able to hear the dialogue not only before something funny or clever happened but also afterwards, for fuck’s sake. Only real performers can pause for applause or laughter.
Also stop showing horribly dubbed films when you fucking know that every person who could possibly want to see this understands English. Fucking cinema managers around here need a reality check because I swear they make the same decisions an 80 year old woman would make.
September 25, 2010 at 7:07 am
People (me included) do not applaud the Screen, or the Actor on it, we aren’t old ladys waving the weather man on TV, but we do applaud because we want to and to let the people around us know that we enjoyed that. And of course I’m talking about clapping after the movie, not during.
Besides, I attend a lot of premiers/previews/festivals/test group showings, it’s not uncommon that one of the producers of the movie or maybe a manager from another cinema is in the audience, to see how people like the movie (and if he should get it for his cinema).
September 24, 2010 at 3:15 pm
I both enjoy and hate this. I enjoy when there is applause, but only because when there is (at least in my experience) it was a truly spectacular film. I hate people who will not shut the fuck up while the movie is actually on, though. Jesus fucking rip these people’s tongues out, will ya?
September 24, 2010 at 6:45 pm
The applause is an emotional response to the film.
September 24, 2010 at 7:00 pm
And me calling them morons is an emotional response to the applause.
September 24, 2010 at 7:08 pm
And me getting off on your rudeness is an irrational response to you being rude.
September 24, 2010 at 7:20 pm
And me getting off on dieAntagonista getting off is a biological response to me wanting nookie.
September 24, 2010 at 7:33 pm
I had to look up nookie. What an amazing word.
September 24, 2010 at 7:53 pm
Why don’t you know Limp Bizkit used to do it for the nookie?

That sounds retarded.
September 24, 2010 at 1:48 pm
It’s called competition. Compete.
September 24, 2010 at 4:55 pm
This, lol.
September 24, 2010 at 5:25 pm
Their failed business model is not our problem.
September 24, 2010 at 1:53 pm
Such utter bullshit. It’ll only be true when computer monitors are 30 feet tall and 75 feet across. It’s the same faulty logic people have been using for 100 years. “Ooo! Don’t buy RECORDS! It’ll kill live music!”. Same thing for cassette tapes. I laughed when people whined about recording songs from the radio, and from recording shows and movies from TV. The RIAA realized that music companies were still making record profits despite MP3s and downloading. If cinemas are looking at a decline, it’s from the shitty movies, not from downloading!
Oh, and for the record, cinemas don’t make profit from the films shown. Their money comes from concession sales. True, though, if the movie sucks ass then there will be no one in the theater to buy popcorn, soda, and candy.
September 24, 2010 at 6:52 pm
Which they rarely get from me. I usually do buy a popcorn. I know it’s waaaaaaay overpriced and horrible for me, but I love the stuff. I bring my own drink in though.
September 24, 2010 at 2:42 pm
Fuck em !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 24, 2010 at 2:52 pm
Start making movies worth paying 12 dollars to see, then we can have a conversation.
September 24, 2010 at 3:10 pm
This.

September 24, 2010 at 8:43 pm
+.50 is what I still have to pay to go see a movie.
So I get to do what I want.
September 24, 2010 at 8:03 pm
Every time you use a torrent you hit back at the people who have been making billions off you for years by restricting the distribution network purposefully and censoring the shit out of everything to fit their version of acceptability.
Anyway torrents? Really? Cause 2008 was probably around the last time they were even a solid option compared to direct downloads.
September 24, 2010 at 8:09 pm
Torrents go *WOOO WOOO*. Where as direct downloads go *CHUGA CHUGA*.
September 24, 2010 at 8:41 pm
Even if I torrent only music?
September 24, 2010 at 9:01 pm
No.
September 24, 2010 at 10:12 pm
At $8-15 just for a ticket and $5 for a soda cup full of ice… movie theaters can SMD.
September 24, 2010 at 11:36 pm
That is why you go to the Matinees. DUH!
September 25, 2010 at 3:25 am
Cinemas are dying because they’ve been taking their customers for granted. I can’t remember the last time I went to one where I wasn’t afraid I’d catch something from the chairs that needed to be re-covered or that didn’t have that, old stale building smell. Also how often is the picture slightly out of focus? Perhaps if they made more of an effort more people would still leave their home theater systems and go watch a movie at a cinema. And don’t get me started on how the concessions cost way more than the movie ticket.
