Written by Ernesto on March 16, 2009 

The top 10 most downloaded movies on BitTorrent, ‘Twilight’ tops the chart for the second week in a row. ‘Quantum of Solace’ and ‘Bolt’ are in second and third place respectively.

twilightThis week there are only three newcomers. The Cam release of ‘Watchmen’ did really well and would have made it into the top 5 if we included camcorded releases.

Far Cry was abominable…

What’s amazing to me is how long Australia has been in this Top 10 – incredible.

Wow.. none of these movies got a score over 8.

I only downloaded the day the earth stood still because I happened to like the original and I like to kiss Keanu’s ass after the Matrix film (yes, there was only one).

Most of those films aren’t good enough to watch for free.

Just so everyone knows, Twilight is a chick flick. My buddies from work tricked me into “renting” it. It wasn’t a bad chick flick though.

I’ve got movies I downloaded over a year ago that I still haven’t watched… I just can’t be bothered anymore and I can find plenty of more useful ways to spend my time…

I think the 4 or 5 last movies I’ve watched were so disapointing that, had I payed for it, it would have been theft on their behalf…

Really tired of the superlative marketing hype where the trailer is 10 times better than the movie…

I don’t think I’m gonna bother with Far Cry. Damn under-funded Uwe Boll crap.

if u want an example of what uwe boll does to game-to-film projects, watch bloodrayne.

How is Far Cry a movie that came out roughly 6 months ago making the top 10.. i just don’t even believe this list anymore..

Full of Trash – Check
Non Informative – Check
Utterly Pointless – Check

I love TF but these lists blow.. seriously.. I wish you would tell us something more interesting or informative.

twilight series was gay, Some one tricked me into reading all the books.
The movie was equlally crap and overrated.

Far cry was terrible and a waste of bandwidth. I’m surprised that Role models and Australia, the only good movies on the list are so low on the list.

I guess there aren’t always news about torrent?

Odd though, because the pirate bay trial is almost over..

I saw Far Cry on the list and I’m like… wait that sounds familiar… I didn’t even know they were making a movie about it. Then I saw the rating of 3.0… and I clicked the trailer thinking it musty not be a movie based on the video game.

Then it dawned on me… it must be made by Uwe… god damnit! He destroyed Bloodrayne. In fact the only movie he did well at was Postal because the game was so screwed up in the first place that it didn’t matter that it was cheesy and had a ridiculous plot.

I don’t understand why anyone still gives him the rights to their movies… it’s a slap in the face to fans and you could make a far more interesting movie rubbing feces on the lens of a camera for 2 hours.

First they “Tricked” me into reading all the Books, and watching the movie.
Then they “Tricked” me into blowing them and tossing their salads.

The sound on Twilight sounds like it’s coming from an analog recording from a theather.

It should be marked R5.
