Download or Watch in Cinema/Theaters.

Howdi all,

'm doing a poll on whether people nowadays download movies of the net and then watch at homw, thus not going to the Cinema.

Cheers

It depends. I download movies and usually watch it on my own or with a few (no more than 2 or 3) friends around. However, most of the time we would rather go to the cinema and watch it (the whole bunch of me, totalling more than 10) on the BIG screen.

No one voted...the beginning of the end

No seriously, its tough getting people to vote, isn't it

[Enchanter]

I myself have not voted because there are not enough choices for the poll. I don't download movies (only anime fansubs) and would rather go watch them on the big screen, together with my friends.

wow thats sad only a few and i thing i made few, but i'ed rather download them and wait for the dvd the popcorn's cheaper,and if i have to go to the can i don't miss anything

i am on 56k so i dont download.and if i had a faster connection i still wouldnt..i am not gonna download some crappy rip in some messed up format...i will rip it myself..but then again it will have to be a GREAT movie for me to rip..i seem to go to the theater twice a year...again..to get me to go there it better be really good..i would rather just rent at home(better sound anyway)and like onerose said..can go to the can whenever i want, and nuke some popcorn.

i find only 2-3 films a year to be worth watching in the cinema. anyway i dont really like the sound in high-tech sound cinemas, i find it to be annoying and way too much loud and overwhelming. i prefer my simple stereo instead.

a friend of mine works for an internet provider, has a knowledge of films second only to imdb.com , and also their servers are flooded with movies. i have access to the net via a fast cable connection, so we cooperate together nicely.

i download around 20-25 gigs a month

in my country, a hollywood movie ticket price is around 4 us dollars, whereas a blank cd is around 70 cents.

"i download around 20-25 gigs a month "

That'd be like 30+ movies per month (a conservative estimate)? Wow that's a lot!

Rips are pretty good John Boy, especially with TV-OUT (if you have it) they look awesome on a tv screen, better than cable movies

Most movies are crap, not worth downloading or watching. If I have to download something, I make sure its worth my time.

no, not all of the turnover for movies, i couldnt keep up watching them.
i dont use filesharing stuff either, as i like to know whats using up the bandwidth and if its worth it.


to some nice people out there
please dont ask me for movies.
