Iron Sky - Space Nazi Steampunk

Every obscure movie on the release date? Perhaps not. Most popular movies on the release date, yes.

See, that's my point. I want to see those really awesome obscure movies as soon as I can. I'd really love to throw money at people to allow me to see them, but most of the time I have to resort to Bittorrent or miss out entirely. It's really easy to buy popular movies on the release dates, so that part is a non-issue.

Here's another example. I posted a thread in May 2009 about a glorious film called Mega Shark versus Giant Octopus. It was a straight-to-DVD movie, but I never actually saw it in any of the dozen or so of the movie stores I frequently shop at until at least a year later. Again, it turned up in a bargain bin way after the actual DVD release date for $5.

So to satisfy my movie tastes, I almost have to rely on Bittorrent or just not see them at all. It's not a matter of not wanting to pay for them - with all of the movies I have talked about I would have gleefully paid whatever it cost to get them in actual DVD/Blu-Ray form just as soon as I could. I just never actually saw them for sale in any local store.
