I go to a movie theater almost every week.

It's only 3 EUR here and I love all the ritual of going to the movies.

Apart from that I torrent hd content.

I'd prefer streaming but don't know any good sites for hd with subtitles.

To answer the OP question:

No I don't buy movies online.

If there was some sort of advantage I'd consider it.

3€ for movie theater is very cheap!
In my country it is like 8€ so I don't visit them much because of that.

This is good stream site: http://www.hdlord.com/items.php
Some videos even have subtitles in some languages.

I "buy" movies online all the time.

Seriously though, I haven't paid for a movie in years, no reason.

Except you know, actually supporting the films? Maybe try visiting a theatre or something once in a while. Hell, buy a DVD / bluray as a gift.

Yes, and its cheaper to buy online.

Yeah it costs like 12-15$(Better than the cinema Grin a ticket costs around 8$ but if you purchase for 15$ You can watch over and over again with friend Grin) And you get best quality plus for lifetime you can download again and watch.

Watching in Cinema is a more realistic experience. Great sound surround system, very huge screen and 3d. Another advantage in watching cinemas if you have a new girlfriend, very dark a nice way to explore her body while watching the movie.  Smiley

I have a 60" TV with an top notch home theater system. Just as good if you ask me.  You don't have to deal with asshats getting up, cell phones going off, and idiots yelling at the screen.  As for the new girlfriend thing.  Can always have a few drinks while watching the movie and easily explore on the couch without risk of being thrown out of the theater.

I'm not about to spend roughly $15 bucks plus food/drink to go to a theater for some crap movie.  Went to a VIP theater a while back, while nice, it was grossly overpriced. 

The film industry hardly needs the support either. maybe when they decide to stop ripping people off with the garbage they try to call movies nowadays, I'll choose to support.  Been a VERY long time since I've watched a movie that I thought was worth the price of admission.

I wholeheartedly agree. I rarely watch movies nowadays, except on social occasions that I can't avoid. But while people keep the "supporting the films" mentality for its own sake, they'll just keep on throwing shitty movies at people.

I pay for Netflix streaming service, and Amazon Prime as well. I have a big collection from torrents, but sometimes I can't be bothered to deal with torrents (and also sometimes I don't have the immediate disk space). So in those cases, I do sometimes opt to buy a movie/TV episode on Prime.... mostly out of laziness/convenience.

I feel the robbery for the movies I see in theatre, make up for the free ones I torrent.

Going to the movies has become absolutly ridic, 2 tickets + popcorn and one drink is easily $40-50. Who can afford that shit anymore?

3€ is not the regular price. I buy on groupon and livingsocial to get that price.

Thanks for the link.

Sorry to say this but that's industry brainwashing talking.

I go to the movies because I like it, not to support some fatcats.

I love the theater experience if it is a good special effects movie. Worth every penny.

It does not appear pirating has hurt the industry much. They are still pulling in millions of dollars for each big budget release. The actors are still being paid millions to be in them. Iron Man 3 grossed 1.2 billion for movie tickets alone. Downey was paid 75 million.

I feel sorry for the films made by small studios and individuals. Pirating hurts these the most.
