i'll most likely ditch the cinemas and start watching movies online

hi jenintn. i'm on the same boat as you as i rarely go to the cinema anymore. good that you have netflix and on-demand. for sure, you have lots of fun watching movies anytime you want. not sure if that service is available with my new cable provider, most of what i've seen are 'premium' channels. anyway, perhaps it is time to call and ask them. cheers and happy mylotting!!!

hi cher. not sure if the libraries here in our country keep dvds of movies for their users to borrow. we do have shops that rent out dvds. i don't really patronize those shops myself and instead purchase bootleg dvds. i also borrow dvds from friends and realtives, so much cheaper that way. with the online sites showing movies, i can watch recent ones. the stream may not be the best quality but it is good considering that it is free. thanks for participating and happy mylotting cher913!!!

hi lynboobsy11. my point exactly, if we can watch movies online and do our online money making schemes, then we will all be better. lol! take about multi-tasking!!! back then, i use to watch movies while mylotting as well. sometimes, i just watch my favorite scenes to be entertained. good point about watching shows online so you won't be stuck watching commercials. cheers and happy mylotting!!!

a movie date with a goddess sounds nice. pick a number though as i have invitations to red carpet premiers left and right. i never really was a fan of downloading movies. if i can find the full movie in youtube, i'm happy. of course, not all movies are in youttube so that's what these sites are for. leeches and hassles... just found my new favorite term for problems in life. cheers and happy mylotting!!!

hi natliegleb. back then, cinemas were the most affordable way to have fun and to be entertained. times have changed though and it really is expensive to watch a movie nowadays. really can't remember the last movie i watched at a cinema, i think it was 'avengers' and i watched it with my daughter. thanks for participating and happy mylotting!!!

hi michaels1966. first off, welcome to mylot. stick by the rules and regulations of the sites and you'll enjoy your stay here. for any questions or clarifications, feel free to chat with the site admin or even the more tenured mylotters and you'll find out that the mylot community is a very helpful one. back to the discussion on hand, yes, movie ticket prices have increased a lot over the past few years. back then, i remember watching movies twice or even three times a week. i also attend a lot of premiers and by invite only screenings. i also watch a lot of movie festivals. however, ticket prices have soared higher than what i am willing to part with so i decided to look for alternatives. first, it was boot legged dvds but that also entailed a cost. then i discovered online movies and i knew right then and there that this option was the best for me. you raised a very valid point although i doubt how the film industry and the internet sites can have a work out a way to equally divide the profit among them. of course, they have to consider the amount that they will offer these download packages to consumers as one of the main reasons why consumers download films is because of the low cost. anyway, thanks for participating and happy mylotting!!!

hi there danishcanadian. wow! ten years is such a long time!!! lol at your comment about not wanting to wear clothes when watching movies at the comfort of your own home. i'm sure for certain movies that will be appropriate. cheers and happy mylotting!!!

hi caopaopao. yup, movie tickets are really expensive. add the other expenses,like food and drinks, and you'd probably spend a couple hundreds perhaps thousands to really have a good time. with movies being added online, i can watch the newest releases even older movies that i miss. thanks for participating and happy mylotting!!!
