Seriously, just stop act like you are taking the moral high ground.  Movie studios equate "loyalty" as a prisoner would equate "dropping the soap" in the shower. 

You know what I do with some of the money (thousands of dollars) I don't spend on movies?  I donate it to an organization which helps Chinese orphans every year.  So it looks like you are the terrible person now.  Being a slave is good for no one. 

And watching a movie in theaters helps the actors and directors moreso than buying the DVD.  Otherwise you are just lining the movie studios pockets.

Actually, I do volunteer work for United Way and donate 2% of my paycheck each month to the United Way.  They are one of the best organizations in terms of overhead costs because of volunteers such as myself.  90% of the money donated to them is used for charity work.

That's fine, and I respect people who do volunteer work, but to act like whether or not you pay for each one of your movies determines your moral fiber as a person is one of the most naive things I have ever heard.

 

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
