Rubin Farr Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Curious to see how this plays out in the movie industry, will we have Oculus theaters like 3D? Ugh Zuckerberg will make a mint no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delet... Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Don't hate on zuck, the hoodiemeister. Also, game versus movie, I'd rather be in a game than on rails. And this won't be in a theatre Rubin, can you imagine the hygiene issues, because it's not some passive throwaway object. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubin Farr Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 You honestly don't think they'll come up with a model that makes money & gets the experience to more audiences? No one is gonna buy that thing to sit home & watch movies. Real D & D-Box have shown theaters will jump on the tech if there's even a remote possibility of more profit. First?

delet... Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 People have already been abandoning the theatres for their home cinemas over the past few decades, this trend will continue, do we live on the same planet? Also, lol, I seem to have touched a nerve there. Whom do you work for rubin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, lol, I seem to have touched a nerve there. Whom do you work for rubin? That said, when I looked for figures, attendance of the average population was flat from 1970 to 2000. My quick search didn't find whether there has been a decline since. Just lots of articles with people whinging about it happening including Chris Nolan, no figures. Although Nolan was similarly optimistic to you. "The theaters of the future will be bigger and more beautiful than ever before. They will employ expensive presentation formats that cannot be accessed or reproduced in the home (such as, ironically, film prints). And they will still enjoy exclusivity, as studios relearn the tremendous economic value of the staggered release of their products." Lol, much clueless, many stupid. Staggered release was a nightmare for people in Australia. And with the net there's no avoiding spoilers, you basically force the consumers into grabbing screeners. Magical thinking bullshit. Then again maybe he's pinning his hopes on the transpacific partnership to crush our internet freedoms and frogmarch us back into the cinemas for the pleasure of getting ripped off in a quasi dive like atmosphere, with the 20 minutes of ads and trailers before the feature and the volume too loud and food too expensive and a percentage of other film goers obnoxious chewers or phone users or talkers, or laughing during the dumb ppl gags and no pause button so two hours into the three and an half hour epic, my bladder begins crying, so I miss out on the big light sabre fight with the robot general guy or half the battle for gondor and so on. How can you romanticize that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
