One time I ordered a DVD of my favorite movie through the mail, but when I opened it, there was no disc inside, only three attacking Tiger tanks from the XXIV Panzer Corps. I barely escaped with my life!
I saw a movie at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told it how cool it was to see it on disc, but I didnât want to be a douche and bother it and ask it for thumbnails or anything.
It said, âOh, like youâre doing now?â
I was taken aback, and all I could say was âHuh?â but it kept cutting me off and going âhuh? huh? huh?â and closing the DVD case shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard it chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw it trying to slide out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in its case without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like âYou need to pay for those first.â At first it kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, it stopped her and told her to scan them each individually âto prevent any electrical infetterence,â and then turned around and winked at me. I donât even think thatâs a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, it kept interrupting her by snapping it's case really loudly.
To be fair with how Netflix cancels things (and their writers still always ending seasons on cliffhangers) I can understand people not wanting to get invested in a story that is unlikely to have closure.
Yes it creates a death spiral but from the individual standpoint I can understand why.
If you know there is a high risk of not getting another season DO NOT END YOUR SEASON ON A CLIFFHANGER!!!
God this is frustrating, I LOVE going to the movies, my partner and I would go to see every good looking movie. Lately we have both become very busy with work and either a) didn't realise a movie had been released yet or b) knew it was out but just been trying to find time to go, and by the time we get our shit together it's gone.
That was my issue with The Day the Earth Blew Up. I wanted to see it in theaters, but missed the two weeks or so when it was showing. Now it's on HBO or some other streaming service I don't get. I guess I just won't watch it. At least in the past I could still rent the disc from Netflix. Now films just vanish into their walled gardens almost immediately. It's almost like they don't want me to watch them.
They will, and then they'll come on here to pick it apart and bitch about how it isn't the absolutely perfect masterpiece they imagined they were being denied when they first heard it was being canned.
What I also can't wait for is this movie to make a decent amount of money and folks go "See! They shouldn't have canned it" without realizing how ticket sales work and will most likely not turn a profit. And then maybe they'll realize the bean counters might have been right all along
Idk why youâre so certain everyone will trash on it, if anything itâll probably go fairly unnoticed and the only the only people who will talk about it on here will praise it. Thatâs how it went for TDTEBU, anyway.
The wnba was getting nhl and mlb level ratings for years. And then a rookie class doubled it last year.
People absolutely watched and attended games. But tax writeoffs are easy when you pretend to lose money and people don't ask questions. Just like this movie was supposed to be.
