Prepare To Be Watched While You Watch a Movie

BussyB writes "Gaining entry to some movie theaters lately gives patrons an experience that is on par with going through a TSA security checkpoint at the airport. Then once you've gained access, there are cameras strategically positioned that record your every move. Unfortunately, the extent to which these companies monitor movie-goers is only going to get worse."

Re:even more reason to wait for the dvd

On the upside, Hollywood keeps turning out crap so I feel like I'm not missing much by waiting for the movie to come out on video so I can torrent it.

FTFY.

Re:all this to stop "The Hussleman"

I think the cinemas problems is not the Hussleman video taping in the theater but the shitty movies Hollywood gives you to present. They may not want to discourage moviegoers any more than Hollywood has.

Okay, this is like the tenth post I've read complaining about the quality of movies Hollywood puts out. I'm going to let you in on a little secret: Hollywood puts out great movies every year and there are even more great independent films put out every year. There is no shortage of great movies. The fact that the best selling movies happen to be the worst quality have more to do with the audience than Hollywood. Good movies have a tendency to lose money, but fortunately there are enough moviemakers with the prestige and financial backing to get quality films released year after year.

If you're tired of watching shitty movies then stop using advertisements to decide which movie to go see. Pay attention to who wrote/directed works that you really enjoyed and follow their work. Discover a critic who you shares your views. I hate shitty movies too, but it doesn't take a genius to avoid the really bad ones. Shitty movies are popular because most Americans are too stupid to understand good movies, too immature to appreciate them, and too uncultured to appreciate their value.
