Nope.  I don't go to the movies anymore.  I wait until Blockbuster 
takes a movie out of rental circulation and offers it as a pre-viewed 
DVD and snap it up cheap.  That way it is not recorded as a sale by the 
MPAA.

Until the MPAA and RIAA stop treating their customers as enemies, I'm 
going out of my way to adjust my entertainment habits.  No movie 
theaters, no buying DVD's new.  As for music, I've only bought from 
independent non-RIAA labels the last few years.

TLotR:FotR left an especially bad taste in my mouth for releasing an 
extended DVD shortly after the standard one, which is also working 
against their customers.

Sometimes it is a little hard being a geek and not seeing the new geek 
films when they come out in the theaters, but I don't really care to 
send the MPAA big bucks to stomp on my rights as a consumer.
