Social Blu

So, I put in a Blu-ray of "The Fourth Kind" that I got from Netflix today. First, Universal wants me to wait until they can download a "fresh preview" before I can get to the menu. Now, when I try to hit play, they want me to log into Twitter and Facebook accounts just so I can watch the damn movie.

If it wasn't a Netflix disc, I would have taken it out and snapped it in two by now.

:dammit:

 

Wow. that is annoying as ****.

 

While I rate the movie higher than most people did, it's not worth all that bullshit. I need to invent something that let's people convey to machinery the full meaning of "fuck you!"

 

You need to find a Chinese blu-ray player that doesn't respect any kind of content management restrictions. (^_^);

 

A nice future in which we rushing right now. fuck you digital.

 

At least the movie is something that I will never want to watch again. It was alright for what it is, though I am tired of movies which intentionally mix the voices down to an inaudible level just so the "scares" will make your ears bleed. Had to watch the damn thing with subtitles.

 

I saw it in the theater here, and it was up pretty loud as you'd exepct. Not bad, not great. Glad I watched it. On to the next.

 

that's so obnoxious.

that's worse than dvds forcing you to fast-forward through previews instead of just skipping them. i have a dvd, i just want to put it in and watch the movie. nothing else.

 

true that.

 

What? You have to sign in on FB just to watch the damn movie? That's ridiculous. I still think BD will die after someone does a good service where you can buy HD movies DLC style.
And I've never had a DVD that forced me to watch previews or a piracy ad, as much as people on the Internet whine about them.

 

I have plenty. And it is the irony that you bought a genuine DVD and get this shit, whereas it is ripped from bootlegs.

 

Universal forces you to watch their damn logo every time you play a movie too.

 

Which ones do you recommend? Are they available off ebay?

Oh and this:

 

heh. I remember on The IT Crowd on the episode Moss and The German there was something like that.

 

Here it is

Another thing I hate is when DVDs contain forced subtitles. Automatically enabling subs when the user manually selects another audio track (and therefore probably knows what he's doing) is one thing (annoying but bearable), but [/i]forcing[/i] them... Do they still do that with Blurays? (Still holding on to my SDTV, so I wouldn't know)

 

love the IT Crowd...
