And it was always fun to see the ways some people felt the need to justify their abuse of the service. (the ones who actually violated the TOC, not just the heavy users). It was just like pirates - they only did it because the company harmed them first somehow, by not offering the product on the price and terms that they wanted and felt they were entitled to.
I haven't cancelled yet, but I'm keeping a close eye on the app and it's not usable for me yet. This week, if I checked the app at about 6:30 PM, after work, I could go to Slender Man and that's it. Even the discount second-run theater was completely blocked. The most optimistic analysis is that they're going to make it extremely difficult to see anything until 9/15 when everyone is on the 3-movies a month plan, otherwise, there will be a run on the theaters by people trying to get their last unlimited movies and reward points in. And then on 9/15, we'll get that version of moviepass Mitch Lowe claimed we'd see where blockbusters are blocked for a few weeks after release but most everything else is available.
As of now though, I haven't actually managed to see a movie since 7/22. Though there was a 5-day vacation in there.
