ah yes, god forbid some guy comes in and keeps his head straight on the screen and not movie his head what so ever for over 2 hours.
who hasn't done this.
perfectly understandable.
Considering some of the bootleg movies I’ve seen in my time, the quality couldn’t be any worse than what they were doing before.
They're getting worse at times, not even joking. Looking like they were recorded on a flip phone
Lol the shitty quality I never minded as much (and usually great chunks of the movie missing) but later on they started doing gambling advertisements troughout the movies, and that made them completely unwatchable. Shame really, and I'm pretty sure it was just some leeches tossing those in to perfectly good camrips, I don't even think it was the bootleggers themselves doing it.
One could set down the glasses
yeah but that would look silly and suspicious, plus someone could steal them.
besides which they got tiny cameras these days, bootleggers don't even need to use glasses like that. plus the cinema rip days are pretty much long gone, these days the high def version is out a few days later. i can't imagine anyone not being patient enough for those.
The version of Brand New Day I saw was a cam rip. Person walked across the screen halfway through
Many years ago, back when camrips still where back so like 20 years ago or so I once seen a cam rip of a movie i forget the title from. The movie itself sucked however it was filmed in China and the Chinese kids laughing made it really funny and cool to watch. I wish I remember what movie it was and I wish I still had that rip, hence why you should always download and keep everything. I buy new harddisks every year, so worth it. I just need some sort of "God"-AI to sort it all out for me.
Backrooms had a lot of zoomers having "babbys first steps at camripping" moments
Although it is an embarrassingly shitty movie I do compliment them on trying piracy.
most zoomers just stream everything and pay for it, and give money to streamer scumbags and camwhores, so to see them make an attempt makes me smile.
