What was the last movie you've seen?

Kind of cool: I learned how my dvd screenings are erased after a viewing. The discs are made so that when the light of the sensor displays the video and audio, it's being deleted at the same time. So in short, the dvd destroys itself while being played.

I may be wrong but you may want to get that checked out

Luke has some nice connections and occasionally gets some pre-release screenings of movies like that. They're sent out designed to deliberately destory themselves like that to try and prevent leaks.

Elysium, decent movie. Wish we had that healing technology.

300 The Sequel

I liked this better than the original, but when are they going to stop doing this ridiculous 3D slo-mo? At least have the decency to offer an alternative version

You mean....you don't like a slow-mo swing with sped up impact!? but...but...but....IT'S EXTREMEEEEEEEE MOUNTAINDEW SKYDIVING IFLETOWERBANGING AWESOME!!!!!

Damn straight I don't like it! If your flick has to have 3D at least do it properly. Edge of Tomorrow did 3D right. Dredd also suffered from that slo-mo nonsense, but iirc they tried to justify it by referencing a drug or something.

last night was Friday the 13th. So we watched Friday the 13th. Which takes place in June. And on a full moon. Last night was a full moon. And Friday the 13th won't fall on a full moon again until 2049.

I missed out. I'll mark my calendar for 2049. I may or may not still be around.

I really really really wish they had stopped before the last like 5 minutes of the movie though

the part where they have the mobile helicopter full of like 8013509172350897 kabillion medbeds. If there were enough of them to heal everyone, then the rich were just being dicks, which is not in any way alluded to in the movie. In the movie it's pretty clearly black and white "We have xxx amount of resources, we choose to keep them for ourselves." That mobile helicopter really makes it seem to me and the guys I saw it with instead to be "We have infinite resources and keep them for ourselves because fuck you that's why" which is not the vibe the rest of the movie gave off!

Like... it kinda defeats the purpose in my mind. There were plot holes I could drive my car through that the group of us who saw it all discussed after the movie (don't ask me to identify them, it as a long time ago and I've since forgotten), but in my mind if you don't go "Wait..what?!?" while you're actually watching the movie, it's completely excusable and doesn't ruin the experience. That last final bit of it? That was completely broken in my mind, all 3 of us that saw it at once were all like "Oh COME on!" while we were still in the theatre.

Overall though, I enjoyed the movie.

TV showings also bring in money as well since the network pays to show it. I've read better articles before, but found this one in a quickie search. It even specifically mentions Fight Club turning a 100 million profit on DVD release.

I didn't know they made so much money of dvds. I guess thats why torrent-ers don't feel so much guilt pirating
