# hahahaahahaha
I love 'film buffs' who grab all their films off the web and never seen them on proper copies at the cinema or on DVD, missing out all the detail, parts of the screen, chunks of the film when a digital tape runs out and only hearing it in mono.

It's like a wine expert who has only drunk schloer

# ^THIS SO HARD
You haven't seen a film if you've watched it like that.

OMG I SAW 300 ON YOUTUBE.

# they go on about picture quality
but it's the sound that's the worst

a film's score is so unconciously important
and yet it's the most lacking part of any pirate copy

# That said, due to the fucking disgrace in the UK not getting Ratatouille until October
I watched a download of it a couple of weeks ago. The poor quality of a camcorder job had almost been rectified by what appeared to be a watercolour filter being applied to the whole film!

It made it quite acceptable to watch. Needless to say Ratatouille is fucking awesome and I will be queuing up outside the cinema come release and buying the Blu Ray as soon as it's out (Pixar's short films have just been announced on a Blu-Ray compilation by the way, for those who get excited by such things)

# i've had my eye on this film since the first teaser trailer
looks really funny
(I helped save b3ta! The King of Hats Cone of shame, Mon 30 Jul 2007, 14:25, archived)
# "funny" doesn't do it justice
It's already listed at 66 in the IMDB's all time top 250 films! (ahead of Raging Bull, Metropolis, Forest Gump, 2001, etc etc)

# What the fuck
Are you with FA(C)T or something? :D

I find it hilarious that FA(C)T or whatever other anti-pirate organisations can only try to get people to stop pirating by telling them the quality is worse

Apparently something being ILLEGAL isn't enough to stop someone doing something these days. Hahaha.

# "What the fuck"
are you on about?

I was talking about people who think they have seen every film when they've been watching 300mb camcorder jobs that feature an anorak over the lens every 20 minutes.

Not copyright. I'm not getting in to that again (for a while at least)

but I get your point about their adverts seemingly about shitty versions over good ones

# I'm talking about in the cinema, before a film begins
a copyright notice comes up which says pretty much exactly what you just said. Sometimes it says "Pirates are illegal oh no :(", but lately it's just been "If you watch pirated films, you lose out on QUALITY! See the REAL THING!".

There was a Ratatouille version of such a warning before Transformers, actually. Saying that pirated films are like eating junk and that proper cinema experience is like eating gourmet cheese. That's what I was getting at :p

# the thing is, I hate going to the cinema
because I find the film is spoilt by screaming kids, twats talking and stuff like that.

:D

# Transformers on saturday was spoilt even more by the
35mins of adverts shown before the feature

this was really taking the piss
my arse was going numb before the bloody film even started!

# I love film trailers, but surely there's enough product placement
in movies now to stop this now?
(I helped save b3ta! HappyToast Groat froth, Mon 30 Jul 2007, 14:32, archived)
# no no no
there were two trailers
the rest was phone and car adverts, around 20mins worth
all stuff you see on the telly everyday

i could hack 30mins of trailers!
in fact, give me a 30min transformers trailer, call it a day and i'd be happy!

:D

# Haha
Strangely there was none of that in the two films I saw in a row yesterday. The Simpsons had a couple of childrens doing really forced HA HA HA HA laughs for no reason at all, but they didn't do it often (and it only continued for like 2 seconds after everyone else had stopped laughing for real), and there was only like nine people in the 3000-seat* studio watching Transformers :D

*may be made up. I have no idea how many seats it actually has.

# This is very true.
The last film I downloaded was Ghost Rider. I wish I had seen it on the big screen now. I have the DVD which is almost as good.
