> but I don't really see the negative side to this service.

1. They have changed the terms out from under their customers. Some pre-paid for a year of service.

2. They continually show movies as "prime time" when they really just aren't. Movies in empty theaters at 10 am going for full price.

3. Go check their twitter feed. They have had _numerous_ issues lately. People aren't getting what they were promised when they opened their checkbooks.

New plan gets rid of peak pricing and ticket validation. Their biggest problem is just how awful their customer support is.

Hard to trust these guys right now, we'll see. Between constant plan changes and movies just disappearing from the app (see twitter), who knows where they'll be in a week.

Seriously, my app hasn't showed anything all week but I'm also a pretty heavy user so I wouldn't be surprised if they're doing something fishy with that
