Yes anecdotal evidence is useless, but you consider not agreeing to sit through 30 mins of ads before you see something that you already paid €10 for is 'unreasonable' !?
In that case I am far more unreasonable. I dont support MPAA, RIAA, etc. involved companies at all.
My reasoning is that by supporting them you are supporting their lobbyists who will then introduce crazy laws like ACTA and SOPA.
I'm just patiently waiting for them to die off.

Yes, I do. Ads are a cheap way to make something profitable that would otherwise not be. You should be thankful we even have theaters these days. If you think it is unreasonable, why don't you find something better to do with your time and money? You could make a nice dinner for two with €10 and have a much better time than you would being angry at ads and those rich assholes in Hollywood. Nobody's forcing you to watch films.
- everyone 13y agoWell, I dont. As I said above "I dont support MPAA, RIAA, etc. involved companies at all" However I think yer man above who does goto the cinema is not being unreasonable. Though I do agree he would be better of doing as I do as u suggested and give it all a miss.
- tsotha 13y ago>Yes, I do. Ads are a cheap way to make something profitable that would otherwise not be. You should be thankful we even have theaters these days. Nonsense. If I wanted to watch ads I'd be home watching television, not paying ten bucks a head in the theater.
- vinceguidry 13y agoPeople pay for cable and it has ads. So do magazines, newspapers. EVERY form of media is ad-driven, whether you're paying out of pocket for it or not. Video games often contain ads for other games. Sorry to burst your bubble.
- tsotha 13y agoI don't see why you think anyone's "bubble" has been burst. In the long run theaters won't survive if they show ads.

You realize that's EXACTLY I and millions of others are doing right? That in fact that exact phenomenon which you suggest is what caused this article to be written?
- vinceguidry 13y agoI thought the article was about the DVD market, not the cinema.
