12 People Are Speaking Their Mind


  1. The film is good, that’s why it went well in the first weekend. The rest is bullshit.

    I HAVE A BOOTLEG OF THE FIRST DEATHSTAR BEING BLOWN UP!! LooL361

  3. Great post. I loved The Dark Knight. It was by far the greatest Batman movie ever made of all time.

  4. What’s truly a shame is that the movie studios truly believe this. They can’t seem to get with the program and understand that their audience has changed, and what their audience wants has changed.

    They attritbute a successful blockbuster to anti-piracy measures instead of the truth source which is:
    Unique IMAX content
    Amazing performance by Heath Ledger
    Great script
    Great direction
    Fantastic action sequences not lessened by digital effects.

  5. Initially I wanted to see The Dark Knight but after reading WB believed that 38 hours = Victory. Well, I have to download the movie and watch it without paying WB for it. After that I’ll work on getting a DVD quality of it. If they truthfully believe that 38 hours = Victory, than they aren’t getting a cent from me.

  6. If Hollywood made movies that good regularly they wouldn’t have to worry about piracy. The reason that The Dark Knight is making a shit ton of money isn’t because of anti-piracy, it’s because it’s a quality film with things like theme and originality.

  7. the movie was leaked… tueday .. before the opening weekend.. here in NY you could buy already on wensday morning on the way to the sub.. not good quality but fair.. saw the movie 3 times (in theatre) it was that good.. torrents are for noobs ;o

  8. Well they can always dream. There is one way to fight piracy: Quality and Plus value. IMAX movie = KICKASS. No question ask. NEVER you will have that kind of feeling in your house. Let’s just think about the new Journey 3D: quite an impressive plus value isn’t it? Seeing a movie in 3D is just plain kickass!

    If they used more of their money to make good movies instead of using that american fast-food nation thinking, they wouldn’t even need to fight piracy. Release a low res version of the movie in torrents with ads YOU control. Then advertise for an improved version available only in theater.

    I do pirate music, yet I wouldn’t miss my favorite band tour. They lose 15$ for the CD, they win 100$ for the ticket. THIS is marketing, not spamming me with Brithney Spears and other crack whore music on the radio.

    To MPAA: Why so Serious?

  10. Question, why is there a fake poster of The Dark Knight in this article?

  11. I agree with the last paragraph of this article. Although I personally download movies off of sites like Pirate Bay, I still will see the movie first in the theatre. Some of the movies (especially The Dark Knight), just cannot be fully experienced in one’s own home. A viewing on the big screen is simply necessary. I do, however, think it’s still sad that such a large amount of people download. I only download movies that I have seen and somewhat enjoyed, but don’t want to spend the money to buy. Any ones that I absolutely enjoy I will purchase, as a support to the cast and crew.

  12. 38 hours a success? Sure!
    -RIP
