WTF: Hollywood?

With my big screen TV and surround sound- I just would rather watch at home even if I have to wait for it.

I could understand if there was some interaction, Q&A whatever with the director/actors.

My little brother when to see a specail showing of My Name is Bruce and got to meet and take pics with Bruce Campbell. Thats was pretty cool.

That's WAY cool! I'm jealous.
 
To be fair, it's more than just seeing it two days earlier. You get a digital copy of it when it's released on dvd, collector 3-D glasses, a limited edition movie poster, and a popcorn.

Considering a movie at primetime is $12 - $14 and popcorn is $4, you're paying $32 for some collector's items.

I wouldn't do it, but i bet if it was for The Hobbit or some Super Hero movie a lot of you guys would.

That might be part of it, but first adopters always pay more simply so they can have it first. Shouting "FIRST!!" in real life is just as prevalent as in comment sections on the internet, it just takes on a different form :wink:

without people to pay ridiculous prices for technology, none of that technology would be available to us at reasonable prices down the line.

So after all of the ad's and previews, do you ever have to think, "Um, what movie did we come to see?"

Happens to me all the time. It usually comes as a pleasant surprise, along the lines of "Hey! It's the new Iron Man movie! I've been meaning to see this."

Exactly, but most people are late/cheap adopters. It's a status symbol to have cutting edge technology that you paid through the nose for :lol:

sure it is. just like it's a status symbol to buy expensive cars or anything else you can think of. if people want to blow their money on technology then more power to them. it just means the bugs will be worked out by the time i get to it.
