GOD ur so naive! u think that in poor countries people spend their time and money going to the movies to see whatever comes up so they can later decide if it was worth it or not?(sorry for my spelling) i would say that outside of the US people download all kinds of movies and JUST go the the cinema to see the ones they're really anxious about...
and actually this kind of attitude(steels money from the industry WELL THANK GOD!!!) makes u less laughable, and u know why? BECAUSE U GO TO SEE ALL KINDS OF CRAP IN THE THEATER and then say stuff like 'well i saw it with my girl and then i went with my friends and then i went with my whole family and still the movie sucks' well guess what as far as they know U JUST LOVED IT!! because u support them with ur money!! i mean how silly is it for everyone to say transformers2 suck after they've seen it twice(or more)in the movie theater? it will still create a lot of profit, so dont u ever complain about transformers2, fantastic four 2, indiana jones and the crappy skull, fast & furious 3 and so on BECAUSE U WILL SEE IT ANYWAY AND PAY FOR IT! and that attitude supports the creation of transformers 3, fantastic four 3,die hard 5, indiana jones and the holy ghost in alien atlantis and so on...
now this is that time where i come up with a solution:
just see the ones you're really willing to see, like 2 or 3 per month or so, if everybody would do that the industry would get it and the box office would really mean something...
i know u cant GET this but if u were living in a poor country u would change ur attitude or u'd simply forget about the movie theater because u just cant pay for it
and dont even get me started on downloading music cuz i believe bands/singers/performers should get 0$ for making a good album, all their income should come from live acts PERIOD! so yey illegal downloads...
but hey dont let me stop u from watching big-popcorn-brainless-explosions, go see it, then u go home and say its crap on imdb and then u get to criticize those u watched that same crap for free... so u can feel better about urself
oh and whats up with the 'steeling ur neighbour' thing?? are u crazy? u really think u should support crap just because its from ur hometown or district?
i'm sorry if i was disrespectful, and i know people take this very seriously in the US, afterall its part of ur culture and ur economy, but u would change ur mind if a movie ticket would cost 20$ wouldnt u?

You know... When you write poorly people may be more interested (or bothered? Offended, even?) by your inability to write something cohesively. Maybe how you're saying something is more ridiculous than what you're actually saying.
Also, in regard to this comment...
"and dont even get me started on downloading music cuz i believe bands/singers/performers should get 0$ for making a good album, all their income should come from live acts PERIOD! so yey illegal downloads..."
No one tried "to get you started" on downloads. Why don't you have a chat with Ticketmaster and ask them how much artists concert ticket sales end up in Ticketmaster's pocket? But you're completely right -- we should not reward creativity. Instead, we should punish them for making music we enjoy. Good one.
Here's what's laughable about you (or u, I guess...): You call the poster before you naive because you think they're making assumptions about people in poor countries (?!?) when really, by saying, "just see the ones you're really willing to see, like 2 or 3 per month or so, if everybody would do that the industry would get it and the box office would really mean something..." aren't you assuming ALL Americans frivolously see all movies all the time? No. Hi Pot, my name is Kettle, did you know you're black?
