Blu-Ray vs. Beer - Blu-ray Forum

McGarnigal · 10-26-2008, 01:59 AM

Anyone ever have this dilemma: 10,12, or 20 bucks can buy you a 12 pack, case, or a happy hours worth of beer for those days/week or it can you buy a good deal on a blu ray which which willl sit on your shelf for years... If you're like me you probally decide on the blu/dvd sometimes and beer others...

Looks like this time you chose the beer

rubberghost · 10-26-2008, 02:43 AM

i choose both... always.

quexos · 10-26-2008, 02:46 AM

Is that even a choice ? beer is so bitter and unless I need to force myself to puke I would never need beer LOL

To me choosing between booze and a Bluray disc would be like having to choose between being ugly, poor and sick vs Good-looking, rich and healthy

Crim122 · 10-26-2008, 04:03 AM

for me its more like weed vs blu ray

blu ray wins 90 percent of the time.

What's a good Blu-ray movie without some beers?! If I cannot drink at the theater I might as well do so at home

McGarnigal · 10-26-2008, 05:25 AM

Some theaters like loews have the vip seats with alcohol...

NJ_RAMS_FAN · 10-26-2008, 06:02 AM

Definetely blu-ray for me. Beer is disgusting and bitter. When I tried to drink one, I feel like throwing up right away. Now, Patron or Grey Goose is a different story. But I usually drink these at parties with families.

What? In the cinema? that's not right is it? and chips as well?

(I'm in UK and have been to the cinema in many European Countries never have I seen this).

Easy choice for me. I don't like beer.

My new Blu savings program.

If I had purchased $1000.00 of Fannie Mae stock one year ago, it would now be worth $31.00. With Freddie Mac, I would have $37.25 left of the original $1000. With Lehman Brothers, less than $5.00 left.

If I had purchased $1000.00 of AIG stock I would have $44.00 left. If I had purchased Bear Stearns stock, I would have nothing left.

But, if I had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling refund I would have $214.00 which represents about 10-11 Blus if I had gotten a good deal on them.

I started yesterday on this forward thinking plan.

Yeah you can. I am from Germany and we can buy beers in almost every theater (at least about 8 years ago- I sure hope nothing changed about that).
I have also been to the movies in the Netherlands, Italy and France and it was the same.
Chips- I am talking about proper potato chips, not french fries. Over here you only get crappy corn chips with horrible tasting liquid cheese on it. yuck!
