Comment No theaters for me.. .because.. (Score 1) 233

YMMV:
  • Local theaters runs 15 minutes of ads and 10 minutes of trailers before each film. I already paid for the film. Double dippers! Amazon
  • Prime already scam people (so I am forced to download the originals on a different site to get my money's worth).
  • They refused to enforce the no-cellphone rule.
  • They are sadistic enough to allow screaming babies into the theater.
  • They scammed viewers by over charging for 3D movies AFTER they said they never will.
  • They scammed viewers by claiming the 3d glasses are disposable.. no. They reuse them.
  • Must get there early for seats. My home is comfy enough.
  • Restoom options.
  • Volume is stupidly low, making it impossible to hear.
  • About once a year, the theater gets a broken "reel" that has all sorts of graphical glitches that makes watching the film, horrendous.

Welcome Juneau, Alaska... Bend over.


When Hulu went the scam route years ago, and Amazon followed. Now Netflix is looking at getting into the scam. The pickings are slim. Why don't streaming services want customers any longer?

Ref: a village is considered electrified if 10 per cent of its households and public places such as schools, panchayat office and health centre have access to electricity Absolutely not That only means 10% of a village is electrified.. 10 is too low of a number to consider the whole village electrified.

Of course you can't flap your arms and fly to the moon. After a while you'd run out of air to push against.
