Cheap night is always packed-packed-packed whenever I've gone.
I refuse to go on cheapnight because it's so bad. Whenever my cheapass friends are like "hey lets go to a movie on cheapnight" Im all like "fuck that, Im paid nearly 6 figures, lets go on superass expensive night!"
I hate the commercials as much as the next guy, but it's never stopped me from going to the theatre. What stops me from going to the theatre are the obnoxious other people.
I mean., you PAUSE the movie. The completely ruins the movie experience.
Which is fine, but don't delude yourself it's the same thing.
Pause? I watch the movie in real time. If the characters have a conversation at a restaurant, and then go home. I "pause" the movie for the half our or so it takes them to drive home. If they then go to bed, I pause the movie until the next day.
Im still at the first 10 minutes of Benjamin Button. NO SPOILERS PLEASE.
I can see how you might think that Walking Dead is a derivative. But what is Dexter based on? Sure there are lots of serial killer movies, but I don't think I've seen one that portrays the serial killer as the good guy.
I second this. LotR movies were insanely painful on my bladder. As awesome as they were on the big screen, they are just so much more satisfying when my back teeth aren't floating.
Original Ideas are usually story driven and dont need a big screen (there are a few exceptions like Matrix & Star Wars)
Lately the really good original ideas not only don't require a big screen, but they DO require long character development arcs, and require multiple hours to really tell a good story (Breaking Bad, Dexter, Walking Dead).
So the only reason to really go to a cinema is for the big CGI movies like Transformers, or for "date" movies.
One last thing, just because a movie is a derivative, it doesn't make it bad. Saving Private Ryan is extremely derivative, but it was a great movie.
the cellphone company will know when the mobile transferred the data to the base station. The cellphone company will know if there are any poor coverage areas on the drivers route. The evidence IS know (but we aren't getting the important evidence from the article).
However, unless we can see packet headers with an originating IP from her phone and a destination IP to one of Facebook's IPs within a few seconds of her hitting the guy, there's no real evidence.
the cellphone company will have this data for billing purposes.
No, poor coverage areas are known. Your story can be supported with evidence, or be destroyed with evidence.
It's one thing to say "I was in a poor coverage area and my fb was delayed" and its completely another to say "I was in a poor coverage area AND VERIZON AGREES WITH ME and my fb was delayed."
However, unless the cell phone company stores the packet headers for every data transmission to and from her phone,
These logs are most likely kept for billing purposes.
However, this isn't actually enough information. Many smart phones will have automatic retry mechanisms if you try to send messages while OOC. So she could have typed up the message, pressed send, put the phone in her purse and 2 minutes later caused the accident, got out of her car walked to the injured person (who was lying in a "good enough" coverage spot) and the message sent THEN.
Of course, the cell company will know if there is a poor coverage area nearby and can corroborate or dismiss this claim.

Are you going to wait for the bluRay of the next Batman movie?
I did go to an iMax once.
its "Imax" it came well before that Steve Jobs branded plastic shit.
Thats not ruffling, thats the popcorn dick trick

I had to wait until my friends read the novelization and then explained the plot to me :(
That's because everyone else is in Church you heathen! Your movie watching takes you away from THE LORD!!!!

Because you can't watch the brand new movie at home (unless you download a "screener" which is terrible quality).
Seriously. Are you going to watch the next batman 7 months after release, or are you going to the nearest Imax?
I second this. LotR movies were insanely painful on my bladder. As awesome as they were on the big screen, they are just so much more satisfying when my back teeth aren't floating.
Don't you have cheep tuesday where you are? You're costs will go down to perhaps $50 max on cheep night.
Of course, you'll be surrounded by hormonal teenagers constantly texting each other...
Im sorry to have to tell you this, but Hollywood doesn't give a shit about the Netherlands.
I think you might want to watch "The Dark Knight." It was a pretty awesome movie released in 2008.
You can get it from thepiratebay.org in a matter of hours.
Add 3K per movie too... "first run" movies aren't cheep.
Because you missed the key phrase; "first run" movies.
I would love to see something like "Game of Thrones" in a movie theatre setting. But I wouldn't want the kids there.

incorrect. He doesn't need to buy these votes, he already owns them. Plus these are the worst ROI of any purchasable vote.
Perhaps Veloz was posting on facebook?

You can get very precise logs about when the data link between the base station (the tower) and the UE (cell phone) was initiated and terminated.
