ReidRansom posted:It's a small market, but people forget there's a world of stuff going on away from civilization, where people still need poo poo to kill time other than masturbate. I spend several months a year on a research vessel, for example, and though we do have a pretty solid internet connection, it's $20k/mo for a speed that would be considered far below average on shore, shared between like 60 people. Ships that aren't government research vessels mostly don't even have that. And remote mining/drilling operations on land. Forward military installations too, probably. But we get by on physical media out in these places. And when that's not available, pirating up while you're back in the world. Good argument for high speed global wifi.

I get that I'm gonna be gouged going to the theater (which is the main reason I basically no longer go) but their pricing just didn't make sense. Honestly I don't understand why movie theaters are even a thing anymore. I'd gladly pay to stream Endgame or whatever on its release day in my living room.

stevewm posted:There are systems out there for this, but its expensive... https://www.engadget.com/2019/04/08/red-carpet-films-first-run-movie-rentals/ That's very bad and definitely guillotine-tier capitalism, but I was thinking more like, pay Disney or whoever a modest sum directly to stream whatever on its release day once. How many millions of people across this hellcursed globe can't afford the cost of a movie ticket and a visit to the concessions stand?How many millions of people are even close enough to a movie theater to feasibly manage to get there without incurring further costs? And how many of those people can scrounge up 10-20 to instead just see the movie in their living room? Probably a whole lot.

Iron Crowned posted:The same day PPV/Cinema releases have been tried before, I don't think it did very well because people really weren't clamoring to watch Tower Heist at home for $60. That's a dumb argument against it though. I'd personally choose death over paying 60 loving dollars to see Tower Heist. kumba posted:Disney+ will be out this year, and there's no way they're not going to try and capitalize on exactly that Yeah if Disney+ takes a step in the right direction, could be I might not actively hate it. As much. There's a service called Viaplay here in Norway which some times kind of does the same thing, offering new(-ish) movies fairly soon after the theatrical release. But not often and not with the AAA releases.

My little town had two competing video rentals back in the day. One was cool with good inventory, reasonably priced snacks and some arcade games even, and was run by a good dude. The other had like no stock, overpriced snacks and was run by a huge perv who hired any attractive girl aged 16-21 to walk around the store all day for him to look at. Guess which one survived until 2010

For anyone wondering Norway has steadily moved towards the american model of society due to our hardcore capitalist governments over the last couple of decades. Austerity! Brown people bad! Tax cuts for billionaires (that are paid for by increasing taxes for poor people) good!
