Twilight… Pirates fail.

Gran Torino I have, but haven’t watched.

Role Models was OK, too many recycled jokes.

Transporter 3 I don’t even want.

Twilight is popular because GF’s want it. Agree it’s boring as shit, but chicks that read the book have to have it.

DO NOT COMMENT HERE, YOU ALREADY LOOK STUPID ENOUGH!

No one wants to read about how you’ll “do what I like and no one can stop me” or why you dislike certain films or your fantasies about defending yourself in court with ‘clever’ defenses.

STFU!

Pirating movies is a gateway practice that leads to firing cannons, wearing pirate hats and screwing wenches.

STFU Jacob, you can suck my wooden leg!

Twilight is a chickflick. With other words, a gay movie.

I think here in Quebec, girls are not expert in computing. So they do not download on their own.

Must be some guys who want to see the movie anyway. Even if i know it is popular, i want to download it just to see what the movie is.

Its just popular i want to know why.
I will propably download it.

I dont know for you, but it’s normal a movie like Transporter 3 is in the top then. I mean, i didn’t see the first and the second and i didn’t know if this movie was in theater. So why it is there in top then as much then Twilight.
It must be a connection somewhere or a explanation for bad movie on the top 10 list.

Sorry for my english.

You hardly need to be an “expert in computing” to download movies though.

My meaning was the girl know how to use internet for chating or email. Even they know how to write text and somes softwares.

ME : “You should download your music on Bittorent..”
She said: “Bit.. What?”..
Me: “Oh nevermind!”

At least, if they know what is bittorent, they ask her boyfriend to download it.

Its the reality in Quebec, Montreal. It can be different in others countries

I’ve seen them all except Gran Torino(I’ve heard good things so I’ll have a look) & Twilight.
Te Day the earth stood still was utter garbage.
Slumdog Millionaire was very overrated and definitely does not deserve such a rating.
I’d say Valkyrie and Role Models are worth a watch.

Gran Torino is good stuff!

@15 it’s exactly the same from my experience in Ontario… Once they know your a source for free movies/music you’re trapped :)

19 Mar 09, 2009 at 20:28 by Richard

Gran Torino was awesome… I refuse to d/l Twilight or Sumdog on principle.

20 Mar 09, 2009 at 20:33 by J'adoremtl

Hahaha, t’as ben raison. Ici, les femmes ne connaissent pas beaucoup l’internet :p

21 Mar 09, 2009 at 20:35 by Pat

@18

Yeah your right, i’m not the guys who want to be just friend with girl.
It’s possible but i want result for my effort to explain something like this. :)

Anyway, you SHOULD NOT explain how bittorent work on your first date héhéhé.

@18: “@15 it’s exactly the same from my experience in Ontario… Once they know your a source for free movies/music you’re trapped :)”

Say no…? If you keep doing it because they’re f*ck material in your eyes it’s most likely you’ll never tap that because your being “nice”.

@21 “Yeah your right, i’m not the guys who want to be just friend with girl.”

I like your attitude :P

“It’s possible but i want result for my effort to explain something like this. :)”

RoFL… and by result you mean what? :P

23 Mar 09, 2009 at 21:13 by Brian Scanlon

By results, im sure he means a nice home cooked meal, or something like a BLUEBERRY PUMPKIN PIE… If anyone actually knows what a blueberry pumpkin pie is.

24 Mar 09, 2009 at 21:30 by Pat

@23
