Here's a thought I had. Why is it that when we review a movie, we might say "Wait for it to come on DVD"? Well, it's used to describe something as being "not so good", and means you should save your money and not pay to go see it in a theater. But why do we say it, when DVDs are a fuck load more expensive than a movie ticket? And Blu-rays more-so. Why would that be more cost efficient? If a movie's not that great, why would you want to spend more money on it to own it? Watch it again? But it was bad wasn't it? So you can watch it with a group? But that means you're paying $20 when in the theaters you could simply have payed $9.50 and those other assholes could buy their own damn ticket. And last, candy? I don't buy candy at theaters. The last time I did, it totaled out to like $50! Fuck that. Sneak in your own candy.
So bottom line, why is it that we as American moviegoers always say "See it on DVD" to express that it is not worth your money, when clearly it is cheaper to pay admission at the theaters. Now I know that VHS was much cheaper and therefore the statement would make sense, but this is 2010! Blu-ray can cost like $30! It's totally outdated.
