I mean with Daddy Rona being the way it is I'm waiting for it to hit Disney+ anyway.

The Spider-man solo films don’t end up there because they’re Sony productions.

I mean, they’ll stream somewhere, but probably not Disney+.

Ladies Gentleman just wait for the Covid Lockdowns to kill the Theaters. Then we can all get ripped off to see it on or Disney + on neural link

When will it go on Plex?

Asking the real questions here; probably in fifteen years, assuming Sony (I think) lightens up a little.

This Thread really blew up.

As was to be expected, because entertainment is serious business and NationStates General is utterly obsessed with serious businesses!

I mean I know I live under a rock 'n' all, but I'd literally never heard of this motion picture before this thread.

Scalpers are really trying to rip everything. How much you wanna bet they'll go after the new Playstation 5 Pro when it comes out. And the scaplers even got all of the Xbox Refrigerators a few months ago too. But I'm not gonna lie, they're making a lot of money and there's no way to stop them.

you can watch an actually good movie instead

OH NO I CANT CONSUME PRODUCT!!!!!!111!!!!

If not seeing a movie when it first comes out is the worst thing to happen to you this month count yourself on of the privileged few in the world who don't have to worry about food, gas, or how they are going to heat there homes thins winter if they have a home.

If spoilers ruin a book or film for someone it means that the thing has no rewatch / reread value.

Considering the fact scalpers have in the past also targeted essential goods, such as vaccines, and even medical supplies, there should be laws against doing it.

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.

40,000%+ markup on tickets?

Gonna press X on this one...

There are still seats available opening day/night at the theater around the corner. So…yeah.

Scalpers are wankers and i do think something needs to be done about it. They dont just go after stuff like consoles etc but important things such as medical supplies.

However in this case i dont think its as gloom and doom as some are making it out to be. Im sure most people who want to see the movie will be able to do so easily enough at release or a short while afterwards.

The worst part about this is the implication that people would pay thousands of dollars to watch a movie, regardless of which movie it is, what time they do it, and where the tickets are from.

Maybe there's some scalpers charging silly money for midnight screening tickets in a few localities, but I'd expect that's it.

Weird comment when this is obviously something people do to make money. People really like money, you can buy all kinds of fun stuff with it.

It takes a special kind of person to do something like this when this is a movie people have been anticipating for months.

Not really. Tbh I’m just mad I didn’t think of it first

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.

Wait a few weeks and watch it at home. Legally. Very legally.

Hell many movies these days are released on streaming platforms simultaneously. Why go to a movie theater when you can just stream it from home that night

It's just another Marvel movie. I'm sure it'll be entertaining, but it's not like Johnny Cash is back from the dead for one night only.

Yeah I normally am cynical about the whole thing but having the OG Spiderman villains got me tbh.

I hope it’s good.

Tbh with the combo of Covid and streaming it’s likely you’ll have the theater to yourself

by **Great Algerstonia** » Tue Nov 30, 2021 6:54 pm

I think this is yet another example of how capitalism makes you evil and greedy and we need to nationalize the movie ticket industry to stop capitalist scalpers
