Obnoxious anti-piracy Ad.

I’m chiming in a little late on this one.

It’s pretty galling to be force fed this ad before each and every film at a film festival, at a small arthouse cinema, for which I’ve paid a season ticket, using my movie club card.

Just Fuck Off all ready. If I’m in the fucking cinema I’m not about to download it, am I. The ad is loud, rude and makes me feel like a criminal. I’ve paid a lot of money to see these films in comfort, I don’t want to be made to feel like a criminal. I’ve never once downloaded a movie but I’m all but being accused of it.

How about the film industry providing a better cinema experience for their loyal patrons, rather than treating us like a bunch of criminals? How about less commercials, more previews, lower ticket prices, loyalty cards, food deals.

I’ve never thought much about getting a home theater setup at home, it seemed like a waste of money. But if it let me see a movie without being treated like scum, it might just be worth it.
