Funny People is the worst film I’ve seen in a long time. Maybe the worst ever.

5 Nov 16, 2009 at 21:02 by Mmmmh

@5 Is there? ..must be hiding somewhere..

And Hangover is also apparently not available in decent quality – all the releases I’ve been able to find are in 720 x 304 resolution.

@10

It is not a SCR it is PPV, stolen from a hotel room in vegas. The SCR is stolen from the P2P PPV rip. Use your head before you speak.

13 Nov 16, 2009 at 22:38 by ken-adams

Yeah, funny people was not funny. Exactly what everyone else is saying, not worth the bw.

I’d be nice if Adam Sandler actually made a good movie again.

15 Nov 16, 2009 at 23:04 by John

Isn’t the Inglorious Basterds PPV ripped off of a recorded VHS tape or something?

16 Nov 16, 2009 at 23:12 by Yatti420

Zombieland sucks.. Rhett Reese sucks.. Don’t waste your bandwidth..

Thanks again for movie tips.

18 Nov 16, 2009 at 23:54 by diarRIAA

I always wait for the Bluray rips and then I give copies to all of my friends. They do the same for their friends, and so on. ;)

I do this just to upset sometroll, .neo.troll and Reasoned Troll. xD

Stop complaining you UNGRATEFUL BASTARDS!!! It is free.

21 Nov 17, 2009 at 02:05 by IHATEGNOMES

Inglourious Basterds is a TS and should be labelled as so.

22 Nov 17, 2009 at 02:34 by comicozi

23 Nov 17, 2009 at 07:14 by Gimlei

@11
Yeah, great, Conlon, thanks for the tip… DoNE release is even worse, 640×272.

24 Nov 17, 2009 at 08:53 by Jicknosh

Haven’t seen the list before. What’s R5 stand for? Thanks

25 Nov 17, 2009 at 08:57 by Jicknosh

Well to answer my own question – I just found this definition. Anyone got a simpler answer?

R5 relates to a Region 5 DVD format created by the movie industry to help combat pirates, as well as tags used by movie pirates for distribution on the Internet. The movie industry created this format in efforts to help prevent piracy by producing higher quality Telecine transferred movies than pirates can offer on the Internet. This higher quality is achieved by the use of professional grade film transfer devices as opposed to lesser quality equipment obtainable by movie pirates. Groups releasing movies in this format can be identified with a tag resembling Moviename.R5.encodeformat.group.

R5 feeds in the form of pirated copies, have little to no remastering done to clean up the quality and usually never contain any special features. What this format allows potential bootleggers to do is release a DVD copy of a movie right around the time when a Screener is available on the Internet. Additionally, if an R5 DVD is released without an English audio Track, the direct line audio from the original film can be inserted and often tagged with .LINE in the finished filename.

There is currently no standard in the bootleg scene as to how R5 movies are labelled, therefore often files may be tagged as something familiar so as not to sway peers from downloading a specific group’s offering. Names such as Telecines, DVD Screeners, or even DVD rips can be seen in place of the R5 tag that should be used on movies in this format. Several release groups have started using the R5 or R5 line tags to distinguish these files and urge other release groups to do the same to gain some standardization in the scene.

Ok, if the movie you want to download has r5 in its name that means download it. Its gonna be good quality.

2. R5 means it comes from russia.

33 Nov 18, 2009 at 08:05 by rob in madrid

Can’t seem to find Funny people in an reasonably size (750 meg)AVI file format. Downloaded one with a CD1 and CD2 extension format, simply deleted it, too much hassle to convert

34 Nov 18, 2009 at 16:03 by Anonymous

2012 is on TS cam, but it is clear as a bell….promise you!

35 Nov 20, 2009 at 05:00 by Anonymous

If Inglourious Basterds is only available as a TS then how the fuck do I have a BDrip on my hard drive right now? Jesus guys, it takes 3 seconds to look this shit up, stop trying to act like you know everything.

36 Nov 20, 2009 at 11:49 by I want to pay

Dear Mr. Movie Producers,

I have just downloaded a movie called Inglorious Basterds, and I like it and think it’s worthy of remuneration, can you please advise me of how I can pay/donate for my viewing with the least amount of bother to us both, and I would like a high quality version of this good movie, for future viewing.

Many thanks

Fussy viewer.

@16

i thought Zombieland was funny guess its all to there own really

2012 can be annoying to find ones that Have english subs on the alien parts or you have to turn Full subs on, same for Hunt For the Red October as well when they are talking Russian

38 Nov 20, 2009 at 21:20 by SKMojo

2012 sucks, IMHO, as bad or worse than a typical lame made-for-TV disaster movie. If you get excited by cliche scenes and idiotic dialogue, with lots of gratuitous screaming and yelling, you’ll love it. Otherwise, take your medication and go to bed.
