Annoyed at Warner Bros - why bother

Fri Jun 14 17:21:16 UTC 2002

The trailer will be out soon enough in another format I am sure, so why waste money going to see a film you don't want to or wringing hands if you hate Scooby-Doo?  We have waited so long for 1) films and 2) the "The Books" that waiting abit longer is not going to make that much difference.

On the other hand, in relative terms having the first Harry Potter film is almost * instant gratitifation * compared to the wait for the film version(s) for the poor souls who love LOTR.

  Not really, that's the way the world works.  Teasers and trials are there to get money out of you when you go buy the actual product or see something.  

  Scooby-Doo is a highly anticipated movie for Warner Brothers.  The same age group Harry is intended for will most likely be seeing it so their trying to bring in their audience early.  They want our money and Warner Brothers has ALWAYS been very up front about that.  It's rare that they let you have something for nothing.

  Warner Brothers is not known for their fan relations.  Only within the Harry Potter fandom have they seem to have grown a brain and responded with a bit of kindness to fans rather then then "Who cares what they think/want/feel?" Belief they have in other fandoms.

  Just so you know...that is called stealing.  Not that they could track you down individually (although the theatre could...) I still don't think it's an appropriate rebellion but that's just my opinion.  I've never been one for sneaking into movie theatre's without paying (such as some said they would do just to see the trailer of HP instead of watching Scooby)

  Angel: It's been a long time since I've opened a vein, but I'll do it you pull any more of that Van Helsing Jr. crap with me. Are we clear?

  Thesulac: There's an entire hotel here just full of tortured souls who could really use your help. Whaddya say?
  Angel: Take 'em all.

  Wesley: I've been accused of a great many things in my time, but paranoid has never been one of them. Unless people have been saying it behind my back.
