How fucked up is this: THIS ?!?!!! Now it seems Lucas/Spielberg & Paramount are trying to rob moviegoers in other ways (not including the trash they've dished out at audiences the last 10-15 years). when the sound dropped out a couple of times, i thought that maybe it was the projectionist's fault. it sure doesn't seem so now. why punish the people who pay good money for the genuine theater going experience of seeing shit up on a big screen & hearing a great sound system. this is just gonna keep people at home & encourage piracy. idiots!!!!! i will never go out to see shit either of those 2 are involved in again! d/l their shit AF'ers.

I can see them wanting to be able to identify the location that a movie was bootlegged from, but this is a horrible way to do it.

A better and less obtrusive option, I am sure would be a numeric code that on a specific frame of the BIG SCENES that flashes for just a minute in one of the corners. It could be spliced in easily, and would be unable to interfere with the movie, but WOULD be visible on a frame break out of the movie.

And honestly, I bet there is a "demographic" layout of what theaters that have the sound drop out, cause no one in the mostly well enough to do suburb where all my co-workers saw it said anything about the sound dropping out, or just didn't notice and can recall.

That's basically the way I feel...I pay to see good movies, period...Now, unless that shit is MUST see, it can wait until the Blu -Ray before I fucks with it...Sheesh man...

Are you trying to imply George only cares about the money, revenge and nothing about the fans? Well JarJar told me all that. Ah ya gotta love that money grubbin inconsiderate looney sonofabitch! :p

Me thinks that this is just a scare tactic.
What would they do to the theatre? Sue them? or the projectionist? Not let them show any more films?
I don't think that they would do anything except maybe send them a warning letter.
They would have to sue everybody who had access to the film. Including the people that transport the film.

I don't think anyone else will do it but maybe. Lucas is a head case that tries to drain every last penny out of his fans. I mean just Star Wars alone he's released and re-released the movies on VHS/DVD about 11 or 12 times now with different features because as long as there is a marketing team and a Steve Sansweet out there pimping these as the ultimate editions, idiots like me will purchase them and put more bucks in the greedy bastard's pockets. I have three versions of the movies now. Now Indiana Jones is getting re-released after just coming out on DVD 4 years ago. It's feckin ridiculous the lengths the guy goes to to squeeze people.

Oh he'll release it....about 3 more re-releases from now. That's how he roles.
