Downloading ROTS

[Jeffery McElroy]

Filesharing isn't working. What is up with that? Everywhere I go, nothing works.

[The Bug]

Isn't it against the law??? There was a 13 year old in Tampa who was charged over $100K for downloading and file sharing of movies and music.

[ROLLTIDE]

Jeffery I wouldn't want you to go to Jail. Your answer is news groups

[LI Phil]

interestingly enough, i just bought a ROTS dvd from a dude who just happened to be walking in a store as i was walking out...he had lots of movies, but ROTS caught my eye...$6... gonna pop it in in a few minutes...if it sucks, i'll just go see it in the theatre, but if this works, then i'm pumped...i'll report back on this either way...

[ROLLTIDE]

Not sure if we should really be talking about Piracy on this site. It's sad how easy it is to get a copy of it .

[The Bug]

Hey, Phil, if it works I will pay you for a copy....hee hee....

what, do you mean to say the ROTS dvd i bought was produced illegally?

[Jeffery McElroy]

Don't watch it Phil... it will ruin the experience for you. It is a crappy avi from some dude who filmed it with a camera in his hat.

you must have a different version than I have.



I have a copy but will wait untill I see it in person before I watch it on my computer .

[Jeffery McElroy]

I am not going to fileshare the movie. I just want a copy to hold me over until the dvd release later this year. I am going to see this movie multiple times in the theatre, and buy it in all of its incarnations as it is released throughout the year. I am not hurting George Lucas or anyone who worked on the film in any way, shape, or form.


you must have a different version than I have.

It is probably the same crappy avi/mpeg that the guy who sold it to him burned onto a cheap dvd-R.

[LI Phil]

i asked the dude (he was of asian ancestry) if the film "shook" (as in a hand held filming it) and he didn't understand (or pretended not to understand) what i was saying...i figured it's only $6 and if it sucks, i'll know from the get go...a co-worker gets bootlegs all the time and apparently they are very high quality...so who knows...

[Jeffery McElroy]

"high quality" is a VERY loose term, my friend! There is nothing like seeing it in the theater for the first time, in all of its digital glory in Dolby Digital EX, like only a theatrical viewing can offer. Wasting that experience on some vcd quality, bastardized divX version of a movie of this magnitude is insane. Trust me... wait until after you have seen it at the movies.

[The Bug]

I have to agree with Jeffery on this...you have to see it on the big screen. The sound, the action - everything it just makes it so much better than on a TV at home or computer. Just not the same.

[LI Phil]

how long is the movie? there's a 5:20 showing (assuming there are tix available) at my local theatre...maybe i should go see it there...

[Jeffery McElroy]

That.... and you have to realize that you are viewing a cheaply encoded, poorly compressed avi, that came from some guys digital video camera.


EDIT: Phil: 2:20 minutes approx.

[LI Phil]

aight...ima see it in the theatre...so, it's OK to steal the movie from the internet after you've seen it in the theatre, but not before?

[Jeffery McElroy]

I don't know... at least it isn't unethical any more. You are not taking away from everyone who worked so hard to produce the film.


ARRGHHHH!!!! My stinking Christianity is kicking in, and I am not going to download it now.

[ROLLTIDE]

I want to watch it in HD

[Jeffery McElroy]

The sound, the action - everything it just makes it so much better than on a TV at home or computer. Just not the same.

ahem... not in my livingroom. :wink:

[The Bug]

Phil I think it is 2 hours and 20 minutes. Worth every second of it though. I will even buy the ticket for you if you want! You really need to see it. Oh wait, I can't because they need my card at the counter so...unless I fly up there that wouldn't work.

Jeffery - screw it - go for it. You only live once.

[Jeffery McElroy]

There are a few digital screenings around the country...

I will get the list in a second, and you can see if you live near one.


Jeffery - screw it - go for it. You only live once.

First, I am an eternal bieng, as all humans are. You will either spend the rest of your life in heaven or in hell.

2nd, as a filmmaker, I cannot bring myself to do this.

[The Bug]

I am afraid to watch it in HD. Mr. Skywalker wouldn't be as cute it might show too many flaws....
