I don't use vpn but I'm not going into detail here how I get around itSure,if I want to pay for a vpn, but then I might as well pay for the movie.Ironically as I posted that I thought to myself, 'newsgroups, how 1996....' another viable option though.
Depends upon the particular site. Plus using additional add ons like no script and ad blocker are probably more effective than virus protection. Most of that is hype to keep you away though (as I adjust my tin foil hat.......)
The viruses that come from the streaming sites usually come from the banner ads, not from the movies themselves, and there's also a lot of fake sites out there that claim they have a movie but when you try to click on the link you get a virus. I'm just saying this in case anyone is reading this thread and gets the bright idea that it's so easy to find these films. You really have to have a very protected computer and know what you are doing, just a warning. Not that I know anything first hand about such things, lol, just hypothesizing.
Onion router? That has it's own pitfalls as well. Nothing is 100% guaranteedI don't use vpn but I'm not going into detail here how I get around it
ALthough for a while I had a nice little leeching option going with my next door neighbor who couldn't comprehend that changing the name of your wireless router did not in fact help if you don't create a password.
Noscript. That will pretty much take care of everything.
Newsgroups are great but you're...Very 1990'sSure,if I want to pay for a vpn, but then I might as well pay for the movie.
Agreed yeah nothing is 100% but some things do bring down the odds a lotOnion router? That has it's own pitfalls as well. Nothing is 100% guaranteed
Loved the Hurt Locker and Clint usually make damn good movies (Gran Torino) Cant wait to see it.
I love how Clint never does the same thing twice. If you didn't know, you'd never suspect this is a Clint Eastwood film and wouldn't find out until the closing credits. It's like nothing he's done before
Everyone is allowed a few duds, especially in a career as long as his has been. How about Unforgiven, Bridges of Madison County, Mystic River, you can even go back to Play Misty For Me, that's how long he's been directing.IDK, his last few movies haven't been so good. Remember Jersey Boys,Hereafter,J.Edgar? No? Yeah, I don't remember them either
Yep there are even fake pirate bay and kickass sites out there when you search but as long as you know the real URL your fine...What with the banner AD's like you said AD blocks, Stop Script...ect do a pretty good job...Some time ago well not that long ago ECF had a Banner AD and my browser wouldn't even let me go there due to it and It wasn't just me... it was a known issue and I believe threads were even made about it there about the bad script
Were the threads shut down and everyone participating in them banned?
I love Grindhouse but yes pretty much all Quentin Tarantino films are top notch
LOL... funny you say that....Were the threads shut down and everyone participating in them banned?
What with the sig...Thanks and it is so true!..No I haven't seen it but I'm looking to DL right now ... But I do Love a bit of creepy claymation
wtf? frankenstein's army looks totally awesome, surprised i've never heard of it before, will definitely check it out
I liked the Edge of Tomorrow, too. We both did. It got lousy reviews. I thought it was cool. We generally go by word of mouth or imdb ratings. Imdb is usually a little less than we'd give it. One example of a better review than I'd EVER give was Magic Magic. Stunned how much we disliked that movie.
Easy on the brain and funny always turns my day around. I need the same. I hope your day becomes less sandpapery, too UncleRJ.
...Essex Boys
No it didn't. Got great reviews.
Well good. I'm glad to see that, because I really liked it. I was reading a bunch of things last week and it was a terrible spiel of one of his (Tom Cruise) worst movies. I don't remember where the post was, or I'd link it. But I'm glad you found better ones.No it didn't. Got great reviews.

Q to OP..Do documentaries count? I try to watch a few a week
I was going to start a Doc thread some time ago but now this thread has started I'm going to Dump all my Docs in here
...One I watched on Netflix last night... The Trouble with Antibiotics ... The link to watch if you don't have Netflix http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/trouble-with-antibiotics/
I know it's a typical Hollywood film but it did look interesting...I just DLed it and maybe watch tonight...Thanks for reminding me of this flick
Inherent Vice was pretty good. Think Big Lebowski set in the 1960s psychedelic era (it actually takes place in 1970), although as a film not nearly as good as Big Lebowski. Still, though, with an all star cast and Joaquin Phoenix really hamming it up as a burnt out hippie private eye (although he does seem much too old for the part) and supporting cast members Reece Witherspoon, Josh Brolin, Benicio Del Toro, Owen Wilson, Martin Short and Eric Roberts along with a huge cast of sexy women you really can't go wrong in this two and a half hour take on acid trip film noir. Could have been a bit more solid so I'd give it a B, not an A, and I'm not sure it is cult status worthy like Big Lebowski is, but nevertheless a very worthwhile watch.
Just got done watching this. Who knew there was such...I don't know. Prejudice? Or fear of acceptance?
I do hear about it a lot. But I felt so torn and, at the same time, frustrated, the whole time I watched it. I do see both sides and still don't know how to put it into words, exactly. Definitely interesting.
Torn and frustrated describe it exactly. I honestly don't see why those kids can't be part of both cultures.
Yes!! That's exactly how I felt about about it. More open mindedness on all sides. No more isolation. I understand, that's not likely, but it was my thought. Thanks for your feedback on that one. It was so hard to discuss with anyone that hadn't seen it. Anyway... Cool.
