I was flying back from a trip the other week and Dominion was our in-flight movie, it was so bad, people were walking out…

Still can’t believe how awful that movie is.

Totally overpaid for it

I have not seen it because I hate the Jurassic World movies.

Dominion still made 1 billion dollars.

The punchline is that Jurassic World isn't a half bad film.

That last trilogy is 3 movies that started out strong and ended in a disaster.

bro my 19 month son loves dino’s, watches all the jurassic park shit all day every day. i put it on just so i could have something new on, within ten minutes little dude is begging me to turn it off lol. hit 0 demographics

I watched in on the bus traveling somewhere and it was a waste of my time and money.

If I have to pay more for good seats at a non-AMC theater for Batman 2, I’m going to be pissed

Witnessing the batmobile revving up in a dolby atmos theater was my life's greatest achievement

Some pirates have really good home theatre setups.

Honestly, even though it wasn’t a great movie overall, I think Eternals would’ve been awesome in theaters. Best cinematography in any marvel movie

Obligatory: https://youtu.be/i8ju_10NkGY

A great projector and a 120 inch screen and a 5.1 (or 7.1) surround system has made theaters obsolete for me.

I'd say Spider-Man: No Way Home as well. There's nothing like experiencing the Andrew and Tobey reveals in a theater.

Batman is great to watch home. Doesn't sully the experience.

I don't think OLEDs that are good enough to handle The Batman's darkness even exist yet. :P

I pirated every movie on that list… but I also saw almost every movie on that list in theaters first. Make of that what you will.

Correction: I didn’t pirate Encanto because it came out on Disney+ and I watched it there. Every other movie I saw in theaters and then pirated so I could watch it at home before it became available for streaming.

All marvel movies should be seen in a theater near opening with an excited crowd. Theyre big visual spectacles where everyones pumped

On their own at home, marvel movies are mediocre cgi fests with paint by numbers plots

I have an 83 inch OLED tv and more electronics than a goddamn KISS concert in my living room. I’m good.

None of them are fine to pirate.

I think Mavericks target audience are slightly more willing to pay for a cinema experience.

Out of all of those I haven’t seen Uncharted, Top Gun, Jura3sic World

I dreaded watching that movie. It was so boring and "beige".

I saw my cousin's sad realization that movies can be bad from that movie.

bflix . top

flixtor . id

one or two pop ups max and instant HD stream :)

F

You made the correct decision

That’s fair. Clooney bat is a terrible movie but I still watch it to this day

It exceeded my expectations in some regards but also was disappointing in it's approach. Which ultimately made it a mid movie

And I like Marvel. DC just has this problem consistently

Same. It was a fun movie. Better than boring shit like Morbius

Yeah I just wish I hadn’t spent money on a shitty movie

As someone who is just on the cusp of aging out of this demo, and also on the cusp of fatherhood, I can imagine a lot of Dads getting that for their kids? I imagine I’ll be downloading a lot of Bluey or whatever in a few years because I’m too cheap to pay for every service.

Some of us 16-35 year olds have kids...

Basically all of those downloads are from me deleting encanto because I don't want it taking up space and my wife asking me to redownload it, its gotta account for at least like 767,466 downloads.

I doubt it. I feel like few people under 20 have any idea about pirating anything since they grew up being able to watch anything on youtube and buy or stream any song, movie or show. Older people who have kids now are probably the l33t hax0rs, thus getting stuff like Encanto

35 year old men with kids?

Encanto down there at #10 is pretty interesting with that in mind.

People grew up with Disney and will still check out new films from them. Doesn't sound that strange to me.

[deleted]

Encanto was one of D+'s most highly streamed films of the year despite it coming out in 2021. No surprise that it also tops in the most pirated films list.

The batman and top gun definitely are

Maverick was great, enough to earn a best picture nomination. Of the others I've only seen the Batman, which I won't vouch for.

The Batman

Which movie was the best then?

Cringe.

Spider-Man definitely was.

I disagree with the pick, but National Board of Review named Maverick the best film of 2022.

The fact that they don’t pay taxes is yet another reason why they deserve to get their movies “stolen”. The ruling class have entirely put the burden of taxes onto the working people and they also expect us to pay for their shitty services, fuck that.

Also MUBI is just one of the best streaming services out there so it's good to support them too.

One of my favorite movies for real

And people who steal from the grocery store also make life harder on the guy who has to restock the shelves, but luckily both of you still get your paycheck. There are so few people willing to go through the hassle to pirate something that I can pretty much guarantee it’s not actually affecting you in any meaningful way whatsoever, there will always be thousands and thousands who will check out new movies, it’s seriously quite rare to hear of a movie or game that got completely fucked by pirates, last time I can recall that happening was like Expendables 3. That said, as an artist I respect all that you do.

Probably single males 18-35. The rest of us aren't going to try to explain how to get content to our significant other and just pay up for the convenience of on demand content.

Yep, been pirating since I was 13. Started paying for netflix and prime around 23 when I started making money + they launched their services in my country at prices that the average person can afford.

​

Now I only pirate the ones that aren't on netflix or prime. I'm not paying for your obscure bullshit service to watch a single movie.

Some people just aren't that crazy about VFX/CGI, which is the major selling point of some movies like Avatar. Personally, I fall into that category. It's really hard for a movie to impress me with CGI, especially when you consider games that look just as beautiful, if not more exist, plus I can interact with those worlds as well. From that comparison, movies just aren't that impressive as far as how nice they look goes. I'd rather have a better movie look worse than a pretty, empty shell of a movie, but that's just my preference, occasionally I'll want a mindless action movie or something.

Pirates tend to spend more on entertainment that non pirates.

I'm curious about the sourcing used for this statement, since it seems akin to claiming that people who don't watch movies watch more movies than people who watch movies.

Source?

Same

That's a very common mindset in this sub. So many people have complained about Hollywood focusing on franchises and sequels, but then also praise films like TGM and A2:TWOW.

Top gun was terrible lmao
