If they keep it up, there won't be any movie theaters anymore, which may not bother those of you who can afford to sink five and six figures on a home theater system, but denies the experience to those of us who don't have a theater-friendly house, or can only afford the local subrun's $3 tickets.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[wendygoerl]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 20th 2009 2:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 'Twilight' Content Leaves Scammers Thirsting for Your (Digital) Blood]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/20/twilight-content-leaves-scammers-thirsting-for-your-digital/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/20/twilight-content-leaves-scammers-thirsting-for-your-digital/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ummm, exactly where in the hell are these 3$ tickets you speak of?

Matinees $2, evening shows $3. And we've got people whining about THAT price and trying to haul monster stollers in so they don't have to buy a seat for the kid. I heard ther was a place up north somewhere that had $0.59 movies, but that was about five years ago.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[wendygoerl]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 21st 2009 12:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 'Twilight' Content Leaves Scammers Thirsting for Your (Digital) Blood]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/20/twilight-content-leaves-scammers-thirsting-for-your-digital/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/20/twilight-content-leaves-scammers-thirsting-for-your-digital/</guid><description><![CDATA[Serves those idiots right for liking Twilight enough to be lazy and not go to a theater.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ruby2070]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 20th 2009 2:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 'Twilight' Content Leaves Scammers Thirsting for Your (Digital) Blood]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/20/twilight-content-leaves-scammers-thirsting-for-your-digital/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/20/twilight-content-leaves-scammers-thirsting-for-your-digital/</guid><description><![CDATA[anybody that falls for these scams are complete idiots !]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jbjg24m]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 20th 2009 3:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 'Twilight' Content Leaves Scammers Thirsting for Your (Digital) Blood]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/20/twilight-content-leaves-scammers-thirsting-for-your-digital/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/20/twilight-content-leaves-scammers-thirsting-for-your-digital/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why is anyone surprised that these companies and, not hackers mind you, are spreading malware on the internet.  Its not targeting bootleggers their smart enough to know to use bit torrent their targeting teen girls looking for pics and interviews of the cast of the movie.  As for affecting the movie in a theater.  Theaters are a primitive dinosaur who's day has come and gone. the profit is nonexistent on screening movies,  theaters make all their money off concessions which is why its 20 dollars for a popcorn and a drink!!  A large screen T.V. can be had for $400 dollars or less thats LCD/Plasma 1080i. A decent surround unit, under $150 and a Blu-ray player for around $200.  Well under $1000 dollars.  with modern technology new movies could be offered at home in pay per view formats in 1080 hi def.  and these giant movie studios would make a thousand fold more profit.  and I don't have to put up with constant interruptions from teenagers making out to people who just cant stop talking in a movie!!  any new movie would be 3 dollars to download unto a blue ray for a six hour time limit.  The technology already exists. then their wouldn't be a need for bootlegging and Old people or teens wanna go to a theater for whatever reason then god bless them.  However the original point is these company's spreading malware and viruses into computers just to try to sell their product is ridiculous and should be outlawed, its akin to blackmail if your an antivirus company infecting a computer then offering your service for $19.99!  And most people on a computer have absolutely no idea how it works, neither do 2/3 of the people driving their cars on the road so thats an irrelevant argument!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[john]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 20th 2009 4:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 'Twilight' Content Leaves Scammers Thirsting for Your (Digital) Blood]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/20/twilight-content-leaves-scammers-thirsting-for-your-digital/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/20/twilight-content-leaves-scammers-thirsting-for-your-digital/</guid><description><![CDATA["As per usual, malware purveyors are..." <br><br>As per usual? Come on now! Who are the writers and proof readers here? No wonder our children are "left behind". This is where they get their material!<br><br>OK, a little lesson here; it's either "As usual" or "Per usual" . It is NEVER "As per" ANYTHING! <br><br>Yeesh!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rich]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 20th 2009 5:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 'Twilight' Content Leaves Scammers Thirsting for Your (Digital) Blood]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/20/twilight-content-leaves-scammers-thirsting-for-your-digital/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/20/twilight-content-leaves-scammers-thirsting-for-your-digital/</guid><description><![CDATA[   Kids should not be concerned about this movie anyway. Any movie which does not contain a Progressive message should not be even on our radar. These kids need to be more concerned about the social lessons they are being taught in our public schools.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[gerald]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 20th 2009 5:30PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 'Twilight' Content Leaves Scammers Thirsting for Your (Digital) Blood]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/20/twilight-content-leaves-scammers-thirsting-for-your-digital/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/20/twilight-content-leaves-scammers-thirsting-for-your-digital/</guid><description><![CDATA[I, for one, got tired of shows alway preaching a lesson of some kind or another. My favorite cartoons WEREN'T the preachy ones. <br><br>I suppose you'd feel better if, in the original Twighlight, she was driving around in a brand-new car that "God" somehow granted her and not the old pickup that her dad rebuilt for her? Or go off to some rock concert instead of a casual beach party where she could get to know her classmates? Or decide that legends of the "cold ones" was some old wives' tale that had nothing to do with the "now generation"?<br><br><br>And if you only see "progressive" messages (whatever that's supposed to mean) how are you ever going to see the warnings signs of a "non-progressive" danger?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[wendygoerl]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 21st 2009 12:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 'Twilight' Content Leaves Scammers Thirsting for Your (Digital) Blood]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/20/twilight-content-leaves-scammers-thirsting-for-your-digital/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/20/twilight-content-leaves-scammers-thirsting-for-your-digital/</guid><description><![CDATA[As I said in my earlier post, there is a quality to a theater experience you can't get on a TV. I know I will never be able to afford "surround sound" in my home and will get that experience olny in a theater. I missed Speed Racer on the big screen, to my eternal regret. I heard some people got motion sickness watching that one in theaters; ain't gonna happen in front of a TV.<br><br>As to the argument about "companies" doing it deliberately, no legitimate company in America would install agressive malware under the guise of anti-virus software. Stuff spyware in a package maybe. But the people sending this stuff out are fly-by-nights at best, and professional criminals more likely.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[wendygoerl]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 21st 2009 12:52PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
