I am a bad, bad man

[Haywood]

Am I the only one who spent half of his weekend watching ripped screener copies of movies that are still in the theater?

I got into that for a few weeks but decided that I was setting a really poor example to my kids and stopped.

Haywood I was doing the same thing but considering I have no kids....and no guilt I'll still continue. Btw Life of Pi on "mobilevids dot org" is awesome.

I look at it this way. I'm still going to buy the ones I actually like when they come out of Blu-Ray and I'm still going to go to the theater to see the ones I'm really dying to see. This is just a great way of checking out those in-between movies that you want to see, but wouldn't go to the trouble of going to the theater for. If they are meh, then I won't waste money on them. If they are keepers, I'll want them on Blu-Ray for the superior quality (and because I do believe in paying for content). I don't feel especially bad about it considering that I own over a thousand movies on disc and subscribe to Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, Hulu Plus, Crunchyroll and Drama Fever. That's not counting cable or the number of movies I've bought twice (DVD and Blu-Ray). Hollywood gets more than their pound of flesh from me.

Haywood I feel the same way about Life of Pi, not a movie I would typically go to and maybe even rent. But after watching it I was amazed at how good it was and is now a must buy. I look at it like when a friend introduces you to a new group and you love them and buy their album. Only this way you are just taking out the friend and are being introduced to far more material that you may never have been introduced to.
