Re: Pirate movie releases
 

the dvd advert is rubbish anyway - it shows a girl downloading a movie 'illegally' - and I think compares it to stealing and breaking into a car.

someone please tell me how many people in the UK have ever been charged with the a criminal offence (which is what breaking into a car is) in relation to downloading copyrighted movies? or how many have been charged as part of a civil case for downloading copyrighted movies?

it's people who upload the movies who they go after in courts.

Yes I do, I'll give them a chance for the sake of an hour or so's d/l time, if they appear to be no good then i wont watch any more and wait for the next copy, and so on, and so forth, untill I get what i want :D such was the Superman film, first early copy was about a week and a half / two weeks ago IIRC, the quality was crap to say the least, the next version is very very good, for a cam ;)
I suppose, in answer to your question, why ????? It all depends how desperate you are to see it :shrug:

Re: Pirate movie releases
 

I never ever d/l the first release as it is always a cam however when the telesyncs appear I have seen some by Maven that are amazing and look ore like telecines.

I know a telesync is still a cam with better audio and video but I wish people would stop calling a telesync a cam. It will confuse people that aren't to clear on the differences.

I think people should just wait until you get the proper thing because, You get more enjoyment out of the movie. And, If you want a DVD that's out in the cinema at the moment, Just go to the cinema and watch it. :tu:

Re: Pirate movie releases
 

>> No, I get enjoyment knowing that I have seen it before most people I know, and cheaply. >> I don't want to sit in an awkward/tiny/sticky chair and have (expensive) popcorn and gawdknows what else thrown around by blatently under-age children. I hate going to the cinema! The staff are so powerless.. :Sprint:

I stopped going to the flicks - too many people talking on their mobiles, talking to each other etc

Re: Pirate movie releases
 

We watched a movie a few months back at the cinema and some couple brought in a baby that never shut up crying. After about 10 minutes into the film, a girl got up - one can only assume she had gone to complain, when she came back, the duty manager or such, came in and stayed for five minutes. By this time the baby had stopped crying, he was just about to leave when, the baby yelped a massive cry, he had no choice but to ask the couple to leave.

But on the whole - I'd rather watch a movie at the cinema than watch it on a dodgy pirate DVD. It's the cinema experience that counts for total enjoyment.

PIRATE videos..... PIRATE film ;):D

Re: Pirate movie releases
 

Oh I seeeeeeeee *smacks forehead*

Anyway going to the cinema now is a minimum 20 quid nite out for the 2 of us, plus with a 22 month old toddler we never get the chance nowadays, hence why I am ok buying of the chinese guy at our local retail park car park. Not only have i got him down to 4 for 15 quid, he's there every week and has even swapped films where Im not happy with the quality on more than one occasion.

Re: Pirate movie releases
 

Now theres customer service for you...

Seriously though, I do not download cam vids.. it just seems a waste of time, most of the films i download of the internet are forieng films that have the subs with them, that are difficult to get hold of over here.

Re: Pirate movie releases
 

I have to say what kind of ignorant cretin brings a baby to the flicks. no way should they have been sold tickets. I dont know which cinema you use but I very occasionally go to the AMC in manchester. Have given up on the filmworks though. The warner/myvue in bury is about the only one I know where you have a small hope of watching the film without some idiot ruining it. In my opinion DVD technology now makes home viewing superior plus the cost plus the risk of it being ruined at home is a lot less than flicks.

and of course you can pause it when you need a weeee ;)
