Y'know what I hate, paying $15 to see a movie and having to sit through the anitpiracy messages. Freak show movie company. YOU ALREADY HAVE MY MONEY, now show me the movie.
And it gets worse.
The DVDs I buy (and I buy quite a few) also have this antipiracy message. A DVD I paid $30 for is now questioning my moral base everytime I press play. I think the anitpiracy dept needs to rethink their target market.
Its like Mercedes handing out anti-cartheft leaflets with every new S class purchase!
"Well sir since you obviously like cars it seems that its very likely you'll steal them as well!"
I'll probably get frisked next time I try to buy a box set. I may be paying $80 for season 5 of stargate but I probably have two star trek DVDs stuffed down my pants!

It's the blatant advertising of the 'Yarr' t-shirt that lets them know your moral bankruptcy :-)
Me, I can survive piracy, but the trailers that are on some commercial (not rental) discs, now they piss me off. And DRM. And people who look at me funny. Yarr.
I agree with you Danger. It really gets up my goat. maaaaaaaaaaa.
We used to show these dumb anti-piracy ads in front of the trailers, at work, but I think the advertisers realised how annoying that was. Personally, it leads me to want to be a pirate just to piss them off.
But don't get angry at the cinemas, it's not up to us as to what gets advertised - it's the outside company that organises our advertising and tells us what to play.
Yes well, threadless are my favourite t-shirts ever! Shameless as it is but I get $1.50 credit if anyone clicks on the links and buys a t- shirt. I'm saving up for a hoodie. The cruel cruel New Zealand winter is about to hit y'know!
Cavegirl, I am not mad at the cinema workers. They are my friends, they bake me delicious popcorn and pre-roll lovely chocolate coated ice cream goodness! Ah I love movie ice cream!
It is teh evil movie company overlords who must pay for the atrocities!
