I listen to way to much music to be able to afford it all. As it is, I would ideally buy my favorites, but frankly it's too expensive. I'm way too broke right now for all that, which I am reminded every time I do try to pay for music. But I do support artists somewhat, because I go to a lot of shows. So I download because I don't have the money, but probably would still have to even if I were less broke.
I download movies occasionally, but not as a rule. I mainly do it out of convenience, and also because I recently discovered that it's f**king $10 to go to a movie. That's just criminal, and I refuse. |

Everything you say is drawwwwlllleeddd outtttt like you have some kind of mental disorder, and you just can't seem to communicate any of your thoughts without completely butchering every arrangement of letters possible. This is ridiculous already, are you a cBer who's pretending to be an idiot? Did I miss something? |

I only buy music if I like the artist a lot and the album's good. And this can only be determined from previous downloading.
I never, ever buy movies. EVER. I'm more likely to go rent them, because I almost never end up watching them again. And even if I do watch them again, I enjoy the freedom of being able to open a single file on my computer instead of going through a crapload of DVDs. I only buy games if I need to. Like, I will need to buy the legit Guitar Hero Wii, unless I can buy a fake guitar from Hong Kong. But I love it so much that I wouldn't mind spending the $100. And I will buy Guitar Hero DS. As for software, I'll buy it if it's absolutely essential for me (like Office), but if I'm just fooling around with it, I'll download it. Like Photoshop. The only way I'd buy Photoshop is if I ever become a professional graphic designer. |

I only buy music if I like the artist a lot and the album's good. And this can only be determined from previous downloading. This is also my stance. I'm not really willing to buy and support something that isn't good quality, and until I find out it is, and that the album is totally worth it, I won't buy a CD at the store. That being said, I tend to buy quite a few CD's. o_o No more than one every two months though. With movies, I'm a cheap ass, and resort to streaming online (specifically SFC and s2e and youtube), only because $21 dollars for two movie tickets is sort of crippling on my budget. Although, if I hear a movie that gets a good review, I'll go out and see it on occasion. The same goes with anime -- I download from torrents online instead of buying the DVD versions of them (and even then, you can't find half of the anime you're looking for!) I'm an avid downloader, sadly, as I don't have the budget to support all of the purchases I would make if I did buy instead of downloading. Like I said though, if its good, I'll offer my support buy it. :) |

It's alright. I didn't even really want to watch it in IMAX, but the boyfriend said it's better. I guess the experience of it and all. Okay the first half was definitely kind of dull, but the second half was pretty damn good. Think like, King Kong. I haven't seen that, but I heard the first half was pretty boring.
But I see it as a movie that I'd rather rent, than go out and watch. ![]() |
