Outrageous, a total disrespect.
Last Wednesday, June the 4th, I was travelling from Rio de Janeiro to São Paulo, a 6 hour bus trip, nice to relax in a wide, 1st class seat, when the in flight, I mean, in drive movie started.
The movie? Check the video below:
Can’t play video? Have some pictures:
Yes, Virginia. They played Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
On a crappy 14" rounded-screen CRT TV, mono sound, a bootlegged copy without ending credits and opening ones in German. Of, dubbed in Portuguese.
They RUINED my experience. I was planing to watch the movie in a big real theatre, next weekend. I’m not a saint but I believe some movies deserve to be enjoyed on a REAL cinema screen. Some others are just POSs we watch to kill time, and those can be watched via YouTube. (I’m talking to you, Uwe Boll).
Specially, if I pay for a movie, if it’s included in my ticket price, I think it should be fair to watch a REAL movie, not a pirated, US$5 copy.
I’ll watch the movie today, after lunch, but it will not be the same. Great work, Autoviação 1001. You guys ruined a 20-years wait.
Hope Paramount take your company to the Courts and rip you a new one.
The movie is included in the ticket price? I would be outraged even if it was the bootlegged version of Snow White. There are real e legal movies for less than US$ 3 for sold in Brazil (Saraiva, Americanas, etc.) and they choose to ruin the experience of everyone that way. Pity.
Some people really have a little mind. I hope you succeed in suing the 1001. Maybe not only a Golden Pass for the bus voyages, buy a Golden Pass for Movie thickets too.
