$$$ to see XI now...

[RobertScorpio]

Lets say ABRAMS was trolling this board and randomly sent YOU a private message offering you a chance to see the new movie, right now, so as to get your opinion...how much would you be willing to pay? You also could not post your opinions about the movie until after it came out....(your paltry money would be added to the opening weekend's box office take)

Pay? In the Federation, they don't work for monetary gain. I think Abrams should follow the same philosophy.

 

[Dale]

As soon as I saw the thread title I thought to myself "a hundred bucks." Certainly no more than that, though.

 

[ChristopherPike]

If you're talking about a test screening, nothing. Those who trial stuff for their opinion get paid to do so. Whether it's a Mystery Shopper Survey or Proof reader... It's in the job description.

I'd be more honest about the changes that need to happen, than anyone who influenced the Generations ending reshoot, that's for sure...

 

[EyalM]

About ten dollars...

 

[FordSVT]

I'd pay $100 to have a private screening of the finished movie months before anyone else saw it, but no more. And I'd want JJ there to bounce questions off of.

I'm with you. I'd even pay $500 to see the movie right now. Mainly to see how much of what I saw today would be in the final cut and what goes into the decision process of a movie.

I'd go as high as fifteen dollars, if it's a theater with good sound.

 

[shapeshifter]

100 Quatloos.

 

[Eric Cheung]

I hear the US Dollar versus Quatloo exchange rate is murder.

 

[Ryan8bit]

Where's the option for "Abrams should pay me to watch it"?

 

[John Picard]

{digging in pocket}

Four dollars and thirty-seven cents, some pocket lint, and a crumpled Post-It note.

 

[Opus]

He wants me to pay for my opinion?

Pass.

 

[drasche]

I think I'll wait. No movie is worth $100.

 

[ManOnTheWave]

Hmm. See it now you say? Sounds like a test screening. Which means I won't do it for less than extra free passes to movies I never intend to see.

If he wants fans to see the movie to get their reaction, he should be paying us, if there's any money changing hands at all.

I wouldn't pay a dime for THAT reason.

If he had a "private screening" at regular theater prices, I'd go. I'd also go again to see the finished product when it's officially released. If he wants us to in effect be beta-testers, tho', he ain't gettin' nothin' from me. (Except my attendance.)

About ten dollars...

... plus popcorn/coke.

Never mind for a moment about how much anyone would be willing to pay...

...but not posting their opinions on Teh Internetz?!

Sorry, I'm afraid that would be an unrealistic... nay, an inhuman expectation for anyone to hold.

I can do it.

I can do it.

All evidence across the length and breadth of the board to the contrary...
