Okay, it's the obvious comment--but man, if they 'charge me accordingly' to my enjoyment of said media, they still owe *me* roughly two grand for 'Battlefield Earth' alone... and if I can sit through the agony of watching it frequently enough, I could probably bankrupt the system in short order...
'Course, I'm still not sure it's worth the pain.
I actually felt bad about clicking on that... no, I'm not so much against kicking someone when they're down... it's just that this is really on another level. They're not just down--they're long dead, buried, forgotten, even now rather badly decomposed. And I'm not just kicking them: it's more like I'm desecrating the grave.
