Why are gamers the worst consumers on the planet?

[Bacn]

That was my point. That's what we do

But why do people keep doing it when they could easily watch something else or save their money?

Curiosity. All of my friends went and watched Dragonball:Evolution just because it was Dragonball. I didn't because I knew better.

Sparks comments are the prime reason why I rarely pay to watch any movie. Everyone is always like "ohhhh you gotta pay for it because soooo many people worked on it and their jobs depend on it". When they are telling people that they release shit just because people will stupidly shell out money for it, it makes me GLAD that I pirate movies.

If we all saw the 1st film we are already invested in the characters, storyline, and the world of the film in general.

If the movie is something new that we've never seen before we don't know the rules of the universe or what to expect.

As for the spending the money, movies have always been a means to escape reality. Our homes for the most part embody our realities, so getting out of the house and going to a movie is part of the escape we always seek. It's also a social experince that we can share we friends of loved ones we go with.

Okay hold up.

We don't just shell out shit because we want to get paid. If I wanted to do that I'd work for Troma (though they do camp better than anyone). There is a lot of effort put into most of these films, and even if the main character of a movie the explosion, that takes a lot of time and money to pull off.

We make this 'shit' because the big wigs at the Studio figure their is a market for it, and some Director has a vision of how the script will come together.

We make it, because you say you want to see it.

A great movie to watch that tells with this a little bit is a little jem called "The Kid Stays in the Picture." A biopic about Robert Evens one of the great producers of our time. If you are interested in the film industry at all, I recommend it.
