Dark night Scr
best kick ass movie of the year

I would have thought Dark Knight DVDSCREENER would be number 1. Best movie of the year, hands down.

@kph59

It must be because everyone saw it at the teather. Maybe not everyone saw ironman, so now they are downloading it…

What A Surprise! A Movie NOT Released by aXXo is 1st.

And Now aXXotards are going on everywhere spreading fake info .

I dont have anything against aXXo … But I Prefer People NOT Bashing Each Other Just Because FXG Released It Faster.

PS . Waiting For DVDRip Of Dark Knight.

@Anon

That is a DvDRip, it’s just a rip from a pre-release copy, so it has a timestamp on the top or bottom, I had a screener of American Gangster almost a month before it was in theatres….. and I didn’t know it till I saw an ad 3 weeks later :D

Timestamp.. swapped audio.. cams or whatever.. its not a DvDRip. Im sure it was ‘OK’ quality.. but I watch my downloaded movies on a 42′ HDTV, DVDRIP is the lowest quality I can handle. I would download the original DVD but its just not worth it these days with these horrible movies.

Mabye I will wait untill Dark Knight HD comes out, probly worth it from all the comments.

Man, that X-files movie was crap.. and I loved the X-files. I get more enjoyment out of watching the old reruns.
I want my bandwidth back, lol.

I think one of the reasons The Dark Knight was 2nd this week is because the guys who released it also provided DDL. Maybe that’s why less ppl went for BitTorrent.

Get a load of that http://digg.com/pc_games/Do_you_think_people_hate_Spore_s_DRM_a_little
Lowest ever!

A Dark Knight Screener got ripped. I can’t believe it, after all their attempts to stop it, Warner Bros. movie still gets bittorrented. This is hysterical. However, I will buy Iron Man, I loved that movie. And Dark Knight too, I don’t mind waiting.

Y’know, a “Weeks on the Top 10 List” would be an interesting column to add…

Isn’t that a TV show? Not _quite_ the right category…

The Promotion was mildly funny, & I enjoyed Hellboy II (more fantasy-type than the first).

The new X-Files flick was _real_ letdown - where was the denoument regarding Fox’s sister; where were all the UFOs?

Meh…

Didn’t like aXXo’s Zohan. Is too blurry.

18 Sep 09, 2008 at 14:22 by anonym

The dark kngiht is overrated, seriously. just because some dude died while making it he suddenly turn’s awesome? RIGHT.

19 Sep 09, 2008 at 15:31 by Ice

I am waiting for Dark Knight by AXXO its always nice to see his rips.

Nice job bashing people in a post about how you prefer not bashing people, that’s fine though, I’m all about FXG.

The Dark Knight was a good movie, I prefer Batman Begins over that one but still good. Iron Man was the shit. Robert Downey Jr. always kicks ass.

i think this list should only have dvdrip’s the other releases suck!

22 Sep 10, 2008 at 15:06 by dPsychc

What the heck is happening doing there

23 Sep 11, 2008 at 07:12 by xnatasx

I you get they opportunity I think you should try and watch Dark Knight in an IMAX cinema (they way it was shot/intended) instead of downloading some dodgy screener. It’s worth it.

24 Sep 11, 2008 at 07:15 by xnatasx

hehe..
That was some crap spelling:

“If you get the opportunity….”
“the way…”

Guess I shouldn’t write anything while I got fever!
:D

ps. I agree that this list should only list true DVDrips!

25 Sep 11, 2008 at 15:05 by Mafiabits
