There was a movie that came out in France back in October 2011, but clips of it (mostly non-spoilery) went online in, oh, August or so, so there was a pretty decently active fandom for a while. But it didn't come out in Canada (where I am), with the exception of one showing at the Toronto International Film Festival, until the end of February. And I really, really wanted to see it on the big screen for my first exposure to it so I held off torrenting it and waited-- and waited-- and waited. Ends up that, so far as I can tell, it opened in Canada in, like, two theatres. One six hours from where I lived, and one on the other side of the country. I have no idea if it ever even opened in the US but if it did it was probably the same limited run.

Finally I did break down and torrent it, but not until it was really, really obvious that it was never going to play anywhere I was going to see in in the theatre. And when the DVD did finally come out I bought a copy. That was, like, three weeks or so ago, so almost a year after the movie was first released. ><

Sometimes people just want that first experience to be a big-screen, awesome thing, and not some blurry, shaky camera-snuck-into-a-theatre thing. In fact, the more I care about a movie, the less likely I am to torrent it. There is no WAY my first viewing of "The Hobbit" isn't going to be in 3D at the theatre the way it was intended to be seen, no matter how eager I am to see it.

Meanwhile, I avoided Tumblr for that fandom, having heard that there were masses of spoilers there and not wanting to spoil myself; the LJ community I could stay and happily play in though because everyone there was really awesome about spoilers.

Sometimes "just torrent[ing] it" is the equivalent of wanting that turkey dinner so bad that you're willing to lick the frozen turkey. Or, I guess (to be less icky) getting a turkey microwave dinner to hold you over until the home-scratch meal is done. Sometimes one wants to hold off for the full meal deal, rather than just making do meanwhile with a cheap copy.

I suspect I've stopped making sense (I blame the last of the turkey left-overs in front of me lol) so I'mma stop now.
