Another reason to sail the high seas

No you are mistaken with "Or $5 mire to own it". You own a license to watch for the amount of time the platforms decides to keep it up.

Spending $30 to own a brand new movie that just came out is not something I have a problem with.

However, not being able to download a copy of the movie you purchased is where I take issue.

After the first few times I had apple remove a book from my library, and the only explanation they ever gave me was "sometimes books change, and when books change they are a new book," I just went back to DRM free. If I have to jump through hoops, and still can't keep the content I legally purchased, why would I legally purchase the content?

Man, I spent 15 bucks to watch it at the movie theatre. Why is the rent option more expensive than that? Even with the popcorn and drink I stayed below that.

"Owned" till we remove it from your library

Instead of giving your money to Amazon to rent this mediocre looking movie that I know nothing about (so this is not a promotion), why not watch it elsewhere (cough cough) and use the same 25 dollars of your hard earned money to support the people who actually worked on the movie and buy a shirt here instead?

25 to lease it. You don't ever really own it

That's $25 for a revocable license to watch it once and $5 more for a revocable license to watch it as many times as you want until the service folds or they decide to memory-hole it in order to get out of paying residuals to the cast and crew. The only way to own something is to steal it.

I kind of get the feeling that CEOs and corporations see the writing on the wall in terms of the world, economy, and climate change. We're headed for some really extreme times in history and I think these guys have the mindset to just go full balls and try to scam as much wealth out of humanity as possible before the shit hits the fan. The greed I see from companies these days is very blatant and in your face, they don't try to hide it anymore, it's all very "fuck you, pay me" and it's virtually every company you can find these days, they're all doing everything they can to fuck everyone out of one more penny.

"own it" until we delete it from your account because reasons, but hey, we'll give you a coupon!

$25 to rent and an extra $5 for the illusion you own it!

Correction, $5 more for a lifetime (or until the company decides to remove it) rental.

The physical Blu-Ray is $25* -- then at least you own it, versus the $30 price here to "buy" but actually lease.

Absolutely ridiculous pricing across the board though.

Edit: $25 for 1080p Blu-Ray, $40 for 4k.

"own" it

You don't even own it when you buy it

"To own it" bwahahahaaaa

And buying the movie probably won't give you a file, but instead just the right to stream it from their servers. At some point they'll pull the plug on that and you'll loose access.

You dont own it thenyou just have it available on your account.

I am just baffled by how many people pay idiotic prices with "life just got more expensive, what are you gonna do"

If people happily keep buying all the overpriced shit it's just gonna get worse..

And you "own" it only as long as they deem it. https://nofilmschool.com/warner-bros-deleting-purchased-digital-content

Renting a DvD / Blueray was like 7$, going to the movies is 10-15$, why TF is this platform so expensive??

This is the first movie I ever pirated, specifically because of this bullshit pricing. Now I have a VPN and a 500 GB server, which I’m sure will need to be upgraded at some point lol

I think I'll download the video file for free.

This is ridiculous, but at least Barbie is getting a physical release. I'm actually very willing to pay for media... if I can access it offline and am not dependent on the good will of some large corporation.

I pirated Barbie and was pretty excited to see it but damn I was disappointed, this movie was seriously overhyped it's really nothing to write home about.

I remember renting VHS and later dvd's.

It usually cost like 4 bucks

Does buy 4K means own digitaly? If yes, it's even worse than I thought..

Yeah, $5 more to "own" the movie

If you Shell out the 30 bucks, are you at least allowed to download it?

How long is your mobile phone, is it foldable?

Never left for media stuff, but for games yeah I will.

Who the hell pays that much for so little

What platform is this?

well google play movies was attractive when it was cheap (wjth regional pricing, i could spend as low as 25 cents to "rent" a movie)

It's always like this on release, give it a few weeks and Amazon will have that 4k version to rent for a fiver. Closer to a cinema ticket and much more palatable.

Good movie though. I enjoyed it quite a bit since feminism doesn't scare me. Grow up people.

With that said, fuck those prices, and fuck fake ownership.

This post is going to get more interesting once Margot finds it.

Available for rental? Nice, this means some HD goods must have spilled on the high seas 😁. Prepare for departure crew - anchor and sails up! 🚢🏴‍☠️

Holy hell

One of the highest grossing movies of all time. They already made back their money and then some at the box office.

That's insane, I saw it at Montreal in the cinema for $14 CAD.

does sailing the high seas only mean dling or does it include streaming?

That's two hours of labor at minimum wage in a lot of States. I feel like I'd maybe pay $5 to watch it at home.

These happen all the time with digital "releases", they charge obscene amount for rental but the price comes down to regular amount in a few weeks. High prices for the most impatient.

Alternatively you can just stream it on himovies.sx . Oppenheimer is still only in "Cam" quality.

What in the long phone?

Seriously though, is that an xperia?

To "own" it

Art, like love, must always be free.

I'm also happy I'll never watch this film

Couldn't finish the movie, it was such trash.... I'm happy I didn't pay to watch it at least.

Me and my girlfriend laughed maybe 3 times and then the yawning started... This movie is made for small kids right? Otherwise I don't understand why it's popular.

You forgotvto mention the serious misandry of that movie. Another double standard. Women do it, it's all good fum. Men do it - canceled.

Who the fuck streams or downloads movies in 4k? What kind of uber connection do you people have and do you sit five inches from the television analyzing pixels and crying if one looks to be out of place?

I've seen 4K and it doesn't impress me even a little bit. Boo hoo hoo get glasses I know, I have glasses, I can see, 4K is worthless and probably why all of these internet providers want to destroy net neutrality and have tiered connections. At a proper viewing distance, 1080 is more than enough.

Watching propaganda is not why I pirate. It's to have access to the media that isn't straight up propaganda.
