I felt the same way last night about some brat that kept yelling "I LIKE THE BLUE ONE! WHERE'S THE BLUE ONE MOMMY? OH, THERE'S THE BLUE ONE. I LIKE HIM BEST. GO BLUE GO!" My first movie going experience for this movie was a bit better than the second. First time I went to the 10:00pm one. Mostly adults. The second, I want to the 4:30 one, mostly kids. I'll never do that again.

I can't believe people will spoil things for themselves by being so cheap and downloading the movie from some pirate. Sure, you're getting it free, but you're not getting that in your face feeling, with the what, 25,000 watt surround system around you? Yes, movie tickets are expensive. I blame over paid actors and uncle sam wanting a piece of the action for the cause of this. But if it's something you really wanna see, quit being a cheap scape and just go watch the thing.

Next movie on my list, (watch me get flamed) is Transformers. I might go see Spiderman, but I was never a fan to begin with. Just doesn't interest me.

As I said in my previous post I only paid 4 bucks as well. I guess due to it being the first showing? Matines is usually $5.25 at my theater.

Does not compute!.....Does not compute!

*Anarky* · 03-25-2007, 10:03 AM

Now if it wasn't for bootlegs, I'd have to wait for another month to finally see it. This, of course, doesn't really mix well with me being impatient as hell and having to moderate this section while not liking to be spoiled.

Just because I got me a bootleg doesn't mean I won't go see it at the pictures or buy the DVD. In fact, I plan on doing both. This was merely to see the stuff I've read during the past few days, not to cheat anyone. I do the same thing when I'm not sure on whether to buy a DVD. Get me a bootleg, watch it, delete it and then either buy the DVD or not. It's like watching stuff on telly and then buying the DVD. 'course, I don't really want to see bootlegs as being used to cheat the industry, but sadly they are. But hey, what can you do?

TerranigmaFreak · 03-25-2007, 11:09 AM

I have to disagree about the experience being better in a theater. I really just hate the place. These days, 80% of the time, I run into people being annoying in the theaters. I never give a damn about popcorn or anything else. I just go to the movies so I can give it my full attention and enjoy it (a little hard with idiots being there). I only eat after I seen the movies a few times. Even then I'm probably eating at home instead of having to pay for their over priced crap.

At home on DVD, I can really enjoy it and not have to deal with all the crap. Besides, so what if the screen isn't as big. It's better than having to deal with people with annoying hair or getting up and down on the chairs. My home theater system's pretty nice too so I get good sound.

Still I went to see TMNT in the theaters to support the movie.

Splinter's Iroonna · 03-25-2007, 11:18 AM

Here the mat. price is $8.50 to $9.00.

Expensive-- but so are a lot of things. And I want the movie to make money, and it doesn't do that from pirated dvds and cameraphone downloads.

Actually, the price of the movie doesn't bug me as much as $4.00 for a "medium" diet coke and $5.00 for a small popcorn!!!

thats why i got the 5.50 kiddie deal

dang Edwards did NOT have the TMNT themed deal

Maybe I'll try Krikorian....hehe

Splinter's Iroonna · 03-25-2007, 11:21 AM

Yeah-- I didn't find one at this Edwards either.

I'll bet if we had gone to the Chinese 6 we would have gotten them! They had a TON for the premiere!

**Jester** · 03-25-2007, 01:20 PM

I'm again goin' tonite...and using the Student Discount...here's hopin' they have TMNT themed popcorn tubs...I may actually get a movie treat that route.

*Sewer Bull* · 03-28-2007, 12:44 AM

My newest find - apparently (apparently, because I didn't get them), you can already leech Spanish and French-dubbed versions of the movie.

Oh humanity. Did they even officially premiere?

Not true! Some of them are sourced from DVD screeners.

It makes sense if, like me, you're from New England, where everyone considers the Yankees to be a joke.

~~ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael~~ · 03-28-2007, 07:20 PM

I don't know if this would be considered illegal or not, but I noticed on yuorube there are a couple of videos of the full Leo/Raph fight.

I know it's just one clip, but should this be reported?

*Anarky* · 03-28-2007, 07:24 PM

We apparently have a TMNT-Piracy-Task-Force nowadays. Everyone was really gung-ho about it a couple of days ago when they posted links to videos. After that, they yelled a lot and now an official Task-Force is being formed... somewhere... sometime... somehow.

But anyways, those are the guys you'd have to talk to.

"Ten years ago, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The TMNTeam."

So how do I find them? Flash the TMNT-signal?

*Anarky* · 03-28-2007, 07:48 PM

I have no idea where to find them. They had a couple of yells a couple of days ago, then they became reclusive. I have heard rumours of them being hermits in the mountains of Wakanda, meditating and debating the morals of pirating movies that are unTMNT vs. the ones that are TMNT. Is one okay while the other isn't? Can Splinter really be a mean drunk because of the pirated flicks on Youtube?

Those are warriors of justice and unhypocrisy! They're also very invisible, as I notice.
