Night Vision Goggles vs Pirates
Cormorant writes "It was reported in The Guardian that Warner Brothers has sent night vision goggles to cinemas across Britain for ushers to don and scan for camcorder pirates during the entire length of the movie [the new Harry Potter], along with watermarks and codes displayed on screen during the film. Mr Graham said "Video piracy is rife everywhere, and with the UK screening the film four days before the rest of the world, Warner was concerned the movie would end up on the internet. Warner sees the investment as negligible compared with the threat to the whole industry."
Sniper rifeles and teargass granades and perhaps the who outfit.I really want them to make a movie based on Rainbow Six...Harry pothead got too old for his role too...
You assume some things wrongly.
First, that I'm kidding. Your ass would be out of there.
Secondly, that I'm intimidated easily. You can try jumping me if you want.
Now the second item may not be for everyone - not everyone is 6'4" after all. The first, however - the theater is on the side of the polite, firm patron, if it's any quality at all.
If it's not quality, I don't repeat the mistake of going there.
Well, true to Slashdot's image I never did get to tap that. It wasn't for lack of trying though and we did date for a while. I never could manage to close the deal despite all I went through.
It turned out to be something of a blessing in disguise in the long run. It wasn't long after I dated this girl that I decided that this shit was a waste of time and gave up on the dating scene. I was done with all the bullshit (Prince movies? paying for concert tickets to see Billy Joel becauses some girl wanted to see him? What was I thinking?) and quit trying.
Got more sex once I stopped trying than I ever did before. Not monumental porn star sex night and day mind you, just regular "Damn! now this is more like it" sex. I'm sure there's a reason and a lesson in there somewhere but I'm old (and married) now so it wouldn't do me any good to bother figuring it out.
Besides I just can't see my wife being all that thrilled with my newly rediscovered ability to find some regular strange. Nope, something tells me to stick with the status quo which has me plenty happy.
