I love how people take things personally when their name isn't even mentioned.

You are right you did not mention any names. Rough day today, my apologies.

If people aren't going to the theaters because of poorly written scripts then why would they want to download the same crappy movies at home? that makes no sense to me. If they've already determined that it's not worth watching in the theaters then sitting in front of a screen which most peoples are still much smaller than their tv sets certainly isn't much more of an incentive to me not to mention most peoples crappy chairs in front of their pc's. You lose the scope of a lot of movies or tv shows watching them that way which is why I love my 50" HD 1080dpi big screen tv, it's made a world of difference to me in detail that I see not only in the picture size but clarity and detail and better sound too.
Samsung, the same people that made my 50" tv now have a 73" tv set I think for not much more than what I paid for this one and I really want to get it in a year or less but I think that is more than big enough for a long time to come if not forever lol.

People make excuses of illegally downloading movies because theaters suck, I say they are just cheap and lazy and think they have to "stick it to the man" some how.

If all the theaters suck what's their excuse to justify the piracy of music then?

Heres the reason: Going to the theater costs money, a small fortune if you live in the UK. downloading the film to your PC doesnt cost anything.

Okay no one said anything about illegal downloads. I have never done that. When I said studios are starting to embrace the idea I assumed you knew I meant legal downloads.

And I suggest you read my posts above defending big business before you assume I am the type to stick it to that man. Quite the opposite.

BTW which model Samsung do you have? It sounds like we have the same one. I have mine hooked up to a media center PC, kinda helps to avoid the crappy PC chair thing huh?

[Mega Zarak]

Also I avoid theaters in my area because of the annoying kids. Man, that makes me sound old. You can't hear between the cell phones and the one alpha moron making loud comments to impress his little emo harem.

It's not really a money thing at least for me. Although it is getting there, last time we went it cost like 40 bucks for my wife and I.

As long as we are talking about the writers strike, this should be interesting reading:

After reading this, I'm pretty sure this is going to last for a while. If this strike continues through June 2008 when the rumored SAG strike starts over their contract expiring, this could get ugly.

IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE MOVIE INDUSTRY!

If anything it stems from the television industry and the revenue generated by advertising when streamed from the network's website or from the likes of iTunes.

And it is most definitely NOT about illegal downloads. Why would the writer's strike and demand more money from the networks and studios because of illegal downloads? It's not like the networks and studios are getting more money from illegal downloads now is it?
