Okay, I'm sure there are more, but these are the two today:<br /><br />1) Most movies would benefit from being seen in the theater.<br /><br />2) If you saw every movie you wanted to see in the theater, you'd go broke.<br /><br />The illegal double feature enhances your appreciation of film without destroying your bank account. That said, I don't do it very frequently, usually only every couple months at most. I consider it a generally victimless crime because they are playing the movie whether I'm sitting there or not. It's more victimless, I think, than illegally burning music off the internet. In part because so many fewer people do it.Derek Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750747272647975591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877371347086447490.post-793862326377224682011-04-27T06:51:57.917+10:002011-04-27T06:51:57.917+10:00Um...ever thought about just paying for both movie...Um...ever thought about just <i>paying</i> for both movies? <br /><br />You know, stealing is wrong.DGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01302995272029761401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877371347086447490.post-37382266542743694862011-04-27T02:25:23.802+10:002011-04-27T02:25:23.802+10:00Yeah, I went in with good intentions -- wanted to ...Yeah, I went in with good intentions -- wanted to see two indies, and instead saw an indie and a crappy movie made by a guy who used to be an indie director. <br /><br />With your two indies, I liked both of them, actually, though I feel a lot more passionately about Away We Go.Derek Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750747272647975591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877371347086447490.post-7533418989042758472011-04-27T00:13:58.454+10:002011-04-27T00:13:58.454+10:00Ooh - ouch!

HORNET...Ooh - ouch! Especially between those two. <br /><br />HORNET was a funny case for me because I could only find one theatre in the city that <i>wasn't</i> playing it in 3-D (I didn;t want to pony up the extra loot for 3-D).<br /><br />Perhaps I'd have been better off waiting a few weeks until some B theatres started playing it.<br /><br />I *think* my last DF was AWAY WE GO & THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE. Loved the former, hated the latter, and since I payed for the former that makes it all okay!Ryan McNeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440134802928893661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877371347086447490.post-1466423548048119922011-04-26T06:22:55.642+10:002011-04-26T06:22:55.642+10:00Hatter, you're totally right -- which made my ...Hatter, you're totally right -- which made my Blue Valentine/Green Hornet DF all the more egregious. Because The Green Hornet was in 3D, I *had* to pay for that one/see that one first in order to get the glasses. Thereby depriving the consummate small/indie movie of its justly earned money -- money that The Green Hornet most certainly did NOT deserve.<br /><br />Shame, shame on me.Derek Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750747272647975591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877371347086447490.post-13088087628320460792011-04-26T06:10:56.008+10:002011-04-26T06:10:56.008+10:00I haven't tried doing the double-dip in about ...I haven't tried doing the double-dip in about a year or so, but most of the multiplexes in this town almost beg for it to occur with the way they are laid out.<br /><br />My biggest rule for the illegal two-fer?
