   You really need to stop insulting people. Not everyone is going to agree    
   with you. You need to deal with that now or see a psychiatrist    
   later...or is it too late for that?   
      
   Bast was saying people should download the movie, then if they like it    
   go pay to see it which is stupid. He refuses to admit he said that but    
   he keeps changuing his story every time he realizes he said something    
   stupid.   
      
   Sure, check out trailers and reviews and word-of-mouth.  But if you're    
   going to watch the whole movie you may as well go to the theatre in the    
   first place and see it there. If you can't afford the ticket price then    
   you probably shouldn't be on the internet either.

   Really, you do not know why people go to movies.  To suggest so just    
   shows what an over-inflated view of your own importance you have.

   If it's a good movie, what difference does it make if it says Star Trek    
   or any other franchise?  You put too much importance and complain too    
   much about a movie in your life. Maybe you should see that psychiatrist.
