i have the choice of being able to watch it today ... i dont think its AMAZING quality but its ok ... but i dont think i will watch it i would rather watch the film at the pictures on the big screen


(sorry im am not saying no for moral reasons)
 
my cousin has it on computer too thats the one i'd be watching ... i still think i'd rather wait (although did watch spiderman other night :))
 
i would like to add i think its the movies companys fault for allowing the movie to be "out" before its at the pictures ... i dont blame people that pirate it or even watch them
 
got a short clip of the pirate version emailed to me ... the quality is pants so anyone wishing to watch this isnt missing out if they cant get hold of the pirate version :)

heres a pic of it (the quality looks worse when see it moving)

Hell yeah, I'd watch it. How did you get a copy if I may ask?
 
Nah I'll wait for it to be in the theatre on that big screen!
 
Like you, it isn't for moral reasons, but, nope. I want my 1st experience of Ep. II to be REALLY cool. Big screen, maniac fans, DTS Digital sound. Less than a week left. I can wait.

Your cousin is suddenly going to become veeery popular.

What's the e-mail address again?

:D
 
I would, but only after seeing it in the theatre.

Granted, if I didn't WANT to see it in the theatre, then I'd love it. Similar to my philosophy with downloading music online. If I really like it, I pay for it.

Not that I'm waxing moralistic or anything.
 
A pirate version? Would it have Mace Windu with an eyepatch and pegleg, and a little Yoda on his shoulder?
 
There is a place very near to my home that sells DVD's and VHS, of "pirate" movies. Only $10 for most DVD's. The packaging is so terrible, that I can't magne what the images inside look like. I've only stopped to look at the titles, with no intentions of ever buying anything.

I so agree with you...Plus Next thursday is my birthday Yipee
 
Where's Shy Tall Guy when you need the pirating police?
Actually, I would watch it, but I'd probably also go see it on the big screen, too, just for the beauty and quality.

It's out everywhere on the net. The quickest place to get it is through DreamScape/AtTheMovies on Effnet using mIRC. If not there, pull down an active list of channels and sort by number of people in the channel. The ones at the top will have the movie.

Yes, the quality was quite good considering how it was ripped. Good movie, will be great in the Theater too!

What's your /. name? ;)

Anyways, the film is in VCD fromat with direct sound.. which means good soung, absolutley horrid video quality.

Basically you'll ruin it w/o getting to see all the cool effects

(Btw, if you think that the direct sound is highly suspect, you're right)

You don't think it's wrong for them to have a reviewer's screening and then have a reviewer stab them in the back and bottleg it?
