To be honest here people, if I'm going to spend ANY money of a movie, I'll either watch it on the big screen, wait for it on VHS, and if it's worth keeping then I'll get it on DVD. This comment goes out to the wankers who think we like paying to see second-rate quality crap versions of the movies which we can easily be spending the same amount of moneys to see it in the cinemas or VHS rentals. And IF I'm going to spend any money on owning the movie on a disc, I'd rather wait for the top quality version on DVD - I WILL NOT fork out a movie-ticket's worth of money for a crappy VCD version instead. So what if I can see it more than once - if the movie is crap, then it was a waste of money getting it to own - if it's any good, then I'll own it on something better than VCD. I only ever go to the cinema if I know it's only worth seeing in big screen and big sound (Gladiator/60 Seconds). If it's a comedy/drama etc, then I could probably wait for the VHS rental. And if I EVER want to own the thing for my personal collection, I'll save up the money to own it forever on top-quality DVD (with heaps of extras, depending on the movie). If you want to spread your crappy wares, I suggest you go to aus.films, then you'll see what reactions you get from them. Movie-goers, do not support these people who make a living out of supplying you with a movie which looks like it was filmed through 10 layers of stockings (both in the picture and sound :-). Even if a VCD is worth $5, isn't it worth paying an extra $2-5 to see it on the big-screen? And if you're so willing to own it on a disc, just wait for it on DVD. I used to see movies a LOT in the old days, but found that a lot weren't worth the effort (thereby wasting my money). I have learnt the art of patience, and have wisely chosen the movies I've wanted to see from the various recommendations I've read on the Net, and I have thus supported the movie-makers who I think are worthy of my money. And since I'm not made of money, I make ABSOLUTELY SURE that whatever I own on disc is something I'd want to see again and again. I have made the mistake of buying discs that I knew in my heart that I'd barely watch again. What a waste of money and time that is, folks. DON'T SUPPORT THESE VCD LEACHES. If you do, you're just as bad as the people who fall for the 'Mega-Memory Informercials' on late night TV - (also, I don't understand how these MM people make a profit when they pay for all 3 commercial TV stations every night - how many dumb people can there be to support these so-called 'Memory Experts'). Anyway, I've done my rant. You people decide what you do. I've had enough of this shit. btw, you'll notice I haven't replicated there website address ...
