If DVD's and cinema tickets were considerably cheaper

[JPaul]

would you still steal them from the BT internets?

(In China a few years back the big movie conglomerates (WB, Universal, and co) tried to compete with the widespread piracy that wasn't even hidden - shops selling copied DVD's with up to 8 films on them with watchable quality for about $1 or so - by lowering their retail DVD prices dramatically to something like $4 or $3.50, and even though more people started purchasing said material, the piracy continued.)

Still and all, if they decided to lower their prices in order to seriously attempt to oppose the competition, as opposed to make use of MPAA and the rest of their arsenal to bully us into submission, would you think twice about your home-made, freely-obtained marvels?

[Something Else]

I'll do ewe three duvdees for a fiver. Final offer.

[JPaul]

Any 3, or 3 artsry fartsy ones like what you would watch.

[Something Else]

You'll have to have one artsy one in the three. The other two can be anything without Jennifer Aniston in.

[JPaul]

:cry:

Aniston is the finest middle of the road, rom-com actor of her generation

[Something Else]

Middle of the road (recently under a lorry) looks to go with it. :eyebrows:

[The Flying Cow]

If you put her that way...

GQ did manage to present her as an appetizing sex object..

In Marley & Me she wasn't all that.

Sure.

If we got the same pricing here, I wouldn't think twice about paying.

It would require the companies to stop playing police, and stop fucking with our legislation by lobbying politicians, though.

Until then I'm done with going to the cinema, they can't have my money, and unless they stop being a threat to my rights, I'm wishing them all gone.


EDit: This is probably the least crappy thread he's ever done, and you stole it. Good job, lulz.

[JPaul]

I feel it was some of my finest stealing.

Wonder if he understands the irony. Probly, now that I've pointed it out.

[Something Else]

They don't do irony. Explained or knot. :eyebrows:

[The Flying Cow]

Fine, you made me post in retort.

Why is it that you always make me feel nauseous when you write something.

BTW I'm glad you liked it Snee, seeing as I made the thread just for you. The purpose of it was to know what you thought.

[JPaul]

Oh is he American, sorry.

[Snee]

He's just a mental, I think.

[JPaul]

Don't mentals do irony either.

[Snee]

Dunno, billy never really seemed to get it all the way.

[JPaul]

Dunno, billy never really seemed to get it all the way.

He was beyond mental though.

I still laugh when I think of his "source"

[Rat Faced]

[JPaul]

I brought him up to share :sneaky:

That's just sick.

[Rat Faced]

Could be construed, and I am frequantly.. but i wasn't talking about sex for once :lol:


Jennifer Aniston says: 'I enjoy it once in a while', but rumors say that this Friend has a deep love of the green, which was shared with her treacherous ex, Brad Pitt. Recently, She was even caught on paparazzi, topless and smoking...

My eldest wouldn't be into her, but would be into her hobby ;)

[chalice]

Construe it like you like, like.

I'm calling the fucking cops.

[Rat Faced]

Chalice

I often wonder if your on something stronger than that..

Other times I realise you should be :P

[The Flying Cow]

It's called White Widow. Stronger than most poorer strands.

True story.

[JPaul]

I'm calling the fucking cops.

I didn't even know that was a specialism.

Where do I sign up.

[chalice]

RF, I'm drinking the red vino, the weans are in bed, I've got Chinese spare ribs in the oven and I'm claiming my right to call someone else on the internets a sick puppy.

What's wrong with that?

I'm giving you fair warning, like. Once you hear the sirens, run.

What more can I do for you?

[The Flying Cow]

The "red vino" - is that slang for rum?

[The Flying Cow]

Attention I do know what red wine is.

Simply suggesting there is drunkenness in the fore.

[The Flying Cow]

Just to be sure, like.

Sarcasm doesn't flow too well over the internet.

I am a sick hound, not a puppy :snooty:

Yes, I'm drunk. And what?

But I'm more rum than drunk, believe you me, like.
