Being at a movie debut usually had rewards like the actors being present (granted a long time ago).

I remember reading an article where people pay 10’s of thousands of dollars to get the new playstation off the line……why?

For the last bit it's usually because the first models off the line can have limited edition features. The first PS4s for example were backwards compatible with ps3 games but then later models got rid of that feature iirc

Scalpers would like to see this thread locked.
I said "Fuck Scalpers" on the 2nd Post on this thread and many other nations were denouncing scalpers in past posts.

Former hamsters by now. A more apt description for those unfortunate rodents as they currently are would be 'meat pulp'.

Why do consumers care so much about seeing a formulaic movie on release night? Just wait a week. I promise nobody will spoil it if youre not talking about it.


Uhhhhhhh, people spoiled Harry Potter as it came out. Before anyone else could read it. Ruining the fun.


Nah, avoiding spoilers is easy.

I have no idea why it's Spiderman that got OP pissed off, as this is only a minor effect of a real problem and the movie probably sucks.

Yeah, sorry, dont care about that right now.

Because Marvel is the peak of consumerist "culture" and anything that keeps the consumerist for consuming is bad, even when its something as temporary as a movie no one will talk about in a week.


This is laughable. Peak consumerist culture is fast fashion and the fashion industry in general. And unlike fucking movies, fashion has lifecycle problems.

There's no issue with consumerism when it results in the proliferation of services (except with electricity and emissions issues), it's consumerism that produces physical products that's the bigger problem.
