Yeah, I saw it too, it ROCKED... best superhero movie EVAR.  Peter Parker is my kind of hero.  Excellent movie all around.

I would like to see it but i can't afford to.

I can't even afford to use many of the free movie tickets I have saved from back in the day when I worked at a movie theater.

You've got a copy, Riso? And, um, might you be on the Ars DC hub? ;)

I expect that my copy is going to be hand-delivered tomorrow.

I don't have broadband, so I must rely on friends who do. :D

Bah, you're all thieves.

Not that I'd pay money to see this movie either. I hate theaters and everything the cartel that supports them stands for.

I'd rent it on DVD but that's equally ethically suspect. So I'll miss out, not that I'm missing much, considering I've never particularly liked the Spiderman comic book.

One has to wonder when standing up for one's ideals is worth it anymore.

Sad but true. :(

Sure, you just have to be able to handle being called a thief when you're downloading all of those movies that don't suck and yet you cannot pay for for ethical reasons, heh.

Besides, the problem is that it's popular media that's "holding us down" wrt our rights. Popular media controls the simple among us with their flashy pictures and cooing teenage manufactured idols. The righteous have already lost because the masses are too stupid to join the fight.

Uh, rant over I guess, heh.

Bah, I don't think downloading has any ethical issues whatsoever.  It's like taping off the radio or using a VCR-- it takes more effort but it's less money.

I still like the experience of being in a theatre with a really big screen and good sound, this I cannot get at home, so I'll pay money to go see the movie (it was really good)  But there's no way in hell I'm paying $19.95 for the movie soundtrack on CD just to get the one good song--- I'll grab the MP3, thank you.

IG, you think I'm not going to see SM in the theatre?  Cuz I sure as hell am going to.  That's the best place to see this big film "spectaculars" -- the wide screen, the massive audio...

The VCD version, however, lets me watch it later at work (oops, I mean off-hours ;)) or when traveling.  That's what I did with SW:Ep1, but it didn't stop me getting the DVD when it arrived.

I am now listening to the soundtrack.  :evilgrin:

Well, I just saw it. It was good, but like XMen, they messed with the base story.
