Some distributors release in theatres and VOD on the same day. There have even been cases of theatre, VOD and home video on the same day.

You'll never get the theater experience/feeling at home unless you're a richfag.

never mind I hadn't noticed the "exclusively"

The dinosaurs didn't know their own extinction was coming either.

>theater experience/feeling

>kids screaming
>phones ringing
>people texting and asking what happened in the movie
>chewing gum in random places
>dindos
>babies crying
>that guy who makes jokes about the movie loudly who all the plebs in the theater laugh at
>$17 per ticket
>$35 for anything more than popcorn and a soda
>no water available
>restrooms with toilets that always need cleaning and never have TP

That list isn't even started.

Studios should just let us pirate their movies day one. It's 2016, I have a right not to have to pay to watch a movie.

You don't have a right to private property that isn't yours.

Copying something isn't stealing.

>I have a right not to have to pay to watch a movie.

If you want to live under socialism, move to a socialist nation.

>Not stealing

If i copy your debt card and use it. It's not stealing.

If I invented a physical replicator that could copy any physical object, and replicated all of your things for free that you paid a lot of money for, you'd probably be pretty mad.

The copying isn't illegal, but you are stealing real money.

Yeah, because I have comfortable seats at home, popcorn that tastes good and costs 10 cents instead of $15 and no niggers

>watching VOD
>no Crab Legs

its not the same

I'm not going to lie, that'd be pretty fucking awesome. As it is the theater system feels like a minor punishment where I have to wait 3 months to watch a film if I want it for free.

>he doesn't have a home crab set-up and falcon perch for a home theater experience
Unfortunately I went too far and have to leave on monday due to my own no singles policy.

>children's logic

>2016
>not replicating replicators
What are you, poor?

Using the power of VR, you can get the theater experience in the comfort of your own home.

>you'd probably be pretty mad.

Not at all and I don't know why you'd think that.

Why would I be mad? I let my friends borrow my movies, games, cd's, ect all the time. It would be easier if they could just create a copy of it for themself without borrowing my shit.

Because you spent countless hours working for everything you have and now I have the same things you have for myself for free with ease.

I'm not greedy and want everything for myself and never share.

That list is mainly memes. Its rare to experience distracting noise after the first ten minutes. Maybe a loud, annoying laugh.

The reason I don't go to theatres anymore is simple. Captive audience.
> no phones
> can't pause for bathroom
> can't do anything but stare at movie

All that AND it costs money and I have to drive there? No thanks.

Not all of us are conservatives and libertarians when it comes to economics. Some of us do like sharing.

>I don't go to the theaters because i'm forced to actually watch the movie instead of use my phone the entire time

Sup Forums everyone!

>That list is mainly memes.

That's happened every single time I've been to the theater and that's like 200ish times over 30 years. Mainly the loud guy that makes jokes was in our group, so he was always there.

Yeah, driving there is the worst. 1 hour both ways so you end up making an entire day of doing things in that area.

I don't care how you attain your stuff. If you get it for free, that's great.

>can't pause for bathroom

This is pretty much the biggest argument against the "theater experience."

>The reason I don't go to theatres anymore is simple. Captive audience.
> no phones
> can't pause for bathroom
> can't do anything but stare at movie

What a fucking pleb

>can't pause for bathroom

Piss bottle.

>can't do anything but stare at movie
>in the movie theater

You'll never get the experience/feeling of Arcade Gaming at home unless you're a rich fag

t. Sup Forums in 1988

Are you saying it's common to have arcades in your home? I'm guessing your too young to have ever been to a real arcade and think consoles are the same thing.

>NEET can't hold his constant diarrhea for 90 minutes.

If you have a physical replicator I doubt you'd be wasting it copying movies. You'd just copy money and go to the fanciest theaters in the world.

>going to the movie theater anytime besides very early in the day

Why the fuck would you want other people there?

>inb4 muh schedule

spend a little less time shit posting and you could see all the kino's you can afford

Man that must be why consoles and arcades are both separate booming businesses in America!

since you're retarded I'll let you know I'm being facetious.

I'll never forget that girl from highschool who pissed her pants after watching a really long movie in line for the bathroom.

I still masturbate to the memory of her crying afterwards

>"Dude, what's that smell? UGH!"
>"Whoever did that, you're DISGUSTING!"
>"Somebody get the manager!"
>"Doesn't everyone know there are FOUR bathrooms here? Just go, loser!"
>"I'm out on bail and I'm going to prison tomorrow for 15 years for a crime I didn't commit. This is the last day I'll be with my son as a child and I wanted it to be a special memory to cherish, but NO, you had to ruin it! Go slap yourself!"

I love how the crux of the "piracy is bad" argument is "ending all scarcity would be horrible because then we couldn't make money!"

Entering post-scarcity too abruptly would cause an economic collapse consequently followed by a societal collapse.

I would definitely encourage the use of physical replicators, ESPECIALLY if they were truly free. They'd end world hunger and generally mean no one has to go without any material necessities again. We could just make new things, then replicate them for everyone for free, then not need to do any more work until we need to upgrade the things. Everyone would have shitloads of freetime and live in luxury. It would be an absolute paradise.

This is the worst theater argument.

>can't do anything but stare at movie
I know this is bait but goddamn I can't stop laughing at this, the best part is there are people who actually pay money to sit down and not watch the movie but to stare at their phone, they probably even buy the overpriced food to top it off.

>entering post-scarcity would cause economic collapse

post-scarcity by definition is economic collapse. As all economics are based in scarcity. Since society is currently economically based, it is, by definition, societal collapse.

But then the lack of labour would cause humans to become fat and lazy, just like the humans in WALL-E.

People become fat and lazy when they can do nothing, not because everything is done for them.

Its one of those subtle distinctions that befuddles the weak of mind.

People could still exercise or do work for personal things. In fact, they'd have far more time for it so they wouldn't feel as though they were neglecting their precious few hours of free time by doing it, so people would be MORE likely to be active.

How many morbidly obese billionaires are there?

I only know one, notch

then replicate treadmills for everyone.

Since there isn't any scarcity that would require the presence of money to regulate resource consumption, there would be no more billionaires or millionaires. Wealth would cease to exist. No one would be rich or poor.

Theaters still make the most money most likely

The point is that billionaires don't have to engage in labor already, right now. Yet many of them are not Wall-E levels of obese. A lot of them actually take pretty good care of themselves.

I'm not even aspie like the rest of you fuckos, but I am way more comfortable watching a film at home these days that going out to a theater.

The last movie I went to a theater to watch was 'The Intern' with the wife and kid. We all agreed after the end of that piece of shit that we would never see a movie in the theater again.

Holy fuck what a piece of shit 'movie' that was. It wasn't even a movie, it was just an advertisement. We spent money to watch a commercial together because Robert De Niro was in it.

Anyone else always cold in their theater? I swear my theater keeps their AC at like 50°F

I have to bring a hoodie in the middle of summer with me to the theater.

The point I was making is millionaires and billionaires are already post-scarcity and the vast majority aren't morbidly obese. So attempting to claim post-scarcity would result in rampant morbid obesity is silly.

and even if it did, who gives a fuck, those people won't live long.

Though I did forget about fucking notch. But he was a lazy fatfuck overnight billionaire.

That's why you go on a weekday during school when the movie's been out a while at the first showing.
I caught so many movies by myself in theaters with only me watching it.
I love watching movies in a theater by myself.
>quiet, can put legs on the chairs below me, have a big old bucket of popcorn to myself and eat loud, sip my MTN DEW loudly as well, can laugh out loud without annoying anyone else, can look at my phone without anyone giving me looks.
Shit's rad, yo.

That's just every building in my area period. Overuse of AC is a menace. But in a place like a theater, you'll be grateful if you go to a packed showing because all the body heat will raise the ambient temperature by 20-30 degrees.

The cold refreshments don't help much either.

Sunday mornings are also an excellent time to see movies without lots of people around. Everyone is either sleeping in or in church and the only people there (all 5 of them) are people just like yourself who want a peaceful viewing experience. It's glorious.

I don't think my autism will even allow for this level of comfy.

Feels bad.

...

Protip: outside still exists fatties

People always say people who go to theaters stag are losers.
Fuck them.
I hate going with my friends cuz they always laugh and say things to me during the movie.
Fuck off I wanna enjoy my once in a lifetime experience of watching the movie in the theater.
I dunno how many times I'd have to bite my tongue to not snap on them.

Dubs tell the truth

>I wanna enjoy my once in a lifetime experience of watching the movie in the theater

Top Zozzle! Doesn't extreme autism grant you guys a fat social security check?

>cuz watching a movie at home on your HDTV is the same thing as an IMAX theater in 3D

Yeah, that's you retard.
Maybe you're the autist who can't understand this.

>with ease
>after creating a machine capable of copying matter
Sure.

Do you really want to see Matthew Mcjonhuehue that large and close? You trying to kiss him bro?

BECAUSE ABOVE ALL A MAN MUST FIND A WOMAN AND IMPREGNATE HER!! YOU NEED TO BE OUTSIDE TO DO THIS!!

I'm sure I can order a sperm donation kit online and have UPS pick it up and deliver it to a sperm bank after I've done the deed. The rest is history.

You don't even need to leave the house to procreate.

Maybe you can borrow that user's replicator to make copies of your favorite waifus to be your own personal sex slaves.

FUCK THIS GAY WORLD!! I'M OUT, HEH TIME FOR SEPPUKU KIDS!!

But that was trips, and you know you can't trust trips. Only repeating digits in multiples of 2 can be trusted.

Have fun, loser.
Hopefully the gun just turns you into a vegetable and get forced on life support for another 20 years lol

>2016
>going to theaters in the glorious age of piracy

plebs

Sure you can, with a camrip
>Some cunt constantly getting up to take a piss
>Talking in the background
It's like I'm really there

Meh, movies I really wanna see I'll go and shell out my shekels to see them.
Now shit like Sausage Party sure.
I ain't gonna waste my hard earned shekels on Seth Rogan bullshit.
