Gran Torino was quite enjoyable – especially if you're a Clint Eastwood aficionado. I doubt there's many more in him, so enjoy Clint's offerings while you can!

Currently watching Appaloosa – a by-the-numbers western. So far, so good…

it looks like a list of aXXo rips for the week, sometimes. most of his rips make it to the top 10 every time

it was a good movie.. It's like.. Big Fish meets The Notebook

You have no idea what the scene is right?

aXXo is a p2p group that steals scene release and change the name of the file that's it.

Disaster movie?
Seriously?

Disaster movie made me hit myself for downloading it.. seriously.. i felt like a complete moron. Its so horrid they dont even try to be funny.

Behind enemy lines wasnt the worst in the world, but it was incredibly pathetic at times.. the morons would act all tough and tactical.. then run out in the middle of the street and start firing at a group of people all carrying full autos pointed directly at them.. lets just get one thing straight, if you LIKE the movie, YOU AND A IDIOT.

Hello conspiracy theorist!!!!

Gran Torino was absoutely fantastic. I would would recommend it to anyone!

Could you guys try to have top 20 list?

I'm glad the public knows so little about aXXo please keep it that way.

Lets all argue about aXXo some more .. as if it matters.

In the end, you cannot deny reality. And the reality is that alot of people download aXXo's stuff, case closed. If you think you can do better, please stand up, im sure he really wouldnt care, and YES, it CAN be done better, he doesnt CLAIM to be the best, he didnt even seem to make a stink about KLAXXON.. or at least I never saw anything. Shit he could be both. Or aXXo could BE SCENE, nobody knows, just because your logic makes you BELIEVE he is one way or another, doesnt mean its true. He could live in the house next door, he could be 40 or he could be ME.

True mystery comes from people that LOVE confusion and reverse psychology. Create multiple proxy images of yourself, create that illusion, get people thinking so far from the actual truth.

The internet allows such stealth and more, and it takes 2 brain cells to do it.

So go ahead and argue about aXXo, because if you think about it, your arguing about an imaginary man in a imaginary world.. and then you loose interest because the pizza is done in the oven..

Everyone seems to make such a big deal of axxo when he is only one of hundreds of rippers. He still clings to xvid when H.264 is here and a number of rippers are using it. Anyway, I only really download the HD rips now, so this whole DvDRip thing is just a memory…

I say just go with whoever is providing the goods, if you can trust them better. Trust is the reason for axxo, klaxxon, FXG, FXM, skirgsk anf others success.

15 Jan 06, 2009 at 04:59 by Pog

I for one don't care. It's free.

You, Sir, have taste. A rare commodity in these globalised, homogenised times. ;)

Thanks for the list. I have a request though, how about two lists? One for R5/Screeners and one for DVD (or good quality) rips? R5/Screeners usually have really bad audio and sometimes bad video as well, and at least I want to wait until the dvd is released.

Another thing, both Body of Lies and Gran Torino are screeners and should be marked as such.

The curious case of benjamin button is the CRAPPIEST movie I have seen in a long time. What a HUGE wasate of time. Don't download that crap.
