You can watch first run movies on the net? I had no idea. Why would anyone go to the rotten theaters if there is another option.
What is happening is that the films get recorded at theatres (often in Russia or the Middle East) and then get uploaded to upload services like megaupload (which recently got shutdown by the feds). The camcorder versions aren’t the greatest quality in the world but they are watchable and the sound is often pretty good because the people recording the movies plug into the jacks that are available at theatres for the hard-of-hearing.
I read all the Edgar Rice Borroughs Martian books when I was a kid so I saw this movie the day it came out. Great movie - they’re never as good as the book but this one is very well done.
If you don’t go see it at the theatre, aren’t you giving up the option to purchase a $10 tub of popcorn? I always get a funny look from the concession stand attendent when I blurt out “And that will only be $85.00” before they tell me what the actual total is. Highway robbery.
