Does anyone use www.tv-links.co.uk?
I can't work out whether
a) the best thing in the world or
b) a destructive plague to society
I may be a but behind the times here, but I can't believe such a site exists - you can already watch the simpsons movie on there if you choose, (although not in perfect quality), but the point is its right there if you want it. Literally two mouse clicks away for anyone reading this.
Am I one of few remaining people who savour such old fashioned things as going to the cinema, buying DVD's and CD's and being excited about getting home and listening to them, looking forward to a good programme on TV etc?
Peronsally I don't care much for a society where everything is completely on tap, films, programmes, music, whatever, free, whenever you want it.
I feel it encourages a sort of lazy, apathetic attitude, where people are spoiled with riches and unappreciative of the artistry, talent and effort thats been afforded into various media forms
Sites like this cheapen visual arts for me, reducing beautiful films to just a cheap and disposable link on a bland web page
To think that you can just sit through Pan's Labyrinth (for example) for nothing degrades it for me, and makes me feel unappreciative, like I've completely undermined the filmmakers and therefore don't deserve to watch it.
I'm very probably in a large minority here, but does anyone see my point or agree?
