    Dark night Scr
    best kick ass movie of the year

  • kph59

    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.

    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

  • heh

    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.

    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.

  • Izkata

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

  • BEAT POLITCIANS AND ACTORS UP

    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…

  • Developer

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

  • anonym

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

  • 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!

  • dPsychc

    What the heck is happening doing there

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Mafiabits
