It's taking money out of the film industry, but does that matter?

It's theft. It's also making it likely your local cinema will close.

The cinema is certainly seeing a drop in people attending and there's no doubt pirate DVD's are a big factor.

We've just ordered a new sound system for the Picture House and this will be installed in October when the cinema closes for a couple of weeks to get the new roof fitted. This will bring the cinema right up to speed with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound and also the excellent DTS system. We're hoping that will tempt people back.

where can i get a copy of POTC 3?

if i really want to see a new film i'll go to "the pictures" it's a false economy watching a dodgy pirate copy, never as good as seeing it up on the big screen, i'm taking a whole tribe to see the movie on sunday night, so don't get in our way or it'll be over the side ye go!!!!

Make sure you take a pillow. It's not a patch on the first two and at 3 hours long this film is like pulling teeth. Seriously, It's not worth the effort. Go watch the grass grow. Much more interesting. :wink:

Cinemas should play to their strengths.

Sell the "CINEMA EXPERIENCE" !!!

Yes someone can watch a pirate copy of random quality, so what ???

I'd be more worried about the increasing affordability of high quality home cinema equipment myself ...

let me know when its at my affordability level, it's the only "boys toy" i'd like to own, getting allowed to stick one on the ceiling and have an 80" screen might prove a bit trickier to get past the purveyor of all things of good taste in my house. especially if i started playinf Madden or Tiger Woods on it, they'd need to fit me with a cathetor and a colostomy bag.
