"Hah! Suck on this, Universal!"

It appears that some smart alec at Universal has leaked The Hulk onto the net two weeks before it's even released in AMERICA. Quite amazed to be honest, downloading the 800MB VCD (great quality) off of BT now :)

*Waits for someone to tell him that Universal didn't make the film* :D

The multiple camera angles will be in the proper film. Remember how Phone Booth is with different perspectives on screen at once. Same for this one.

Bit Torrent, another file sharing network.

Whats BT?

I just watched it. Quality is poor. It is not the proper version of the film, it is a workprint. Meaning that the film is not complete. There are bits that obviously have temporary CGI and multiple camera angles in parts.

The video quality itself is also poor.

The film is not bad tohugh...

No as thats the proper standard it came in, I cant do anything about it. Also it wouldnt fit on a 800mb VCD as that would mean it could only go on a 80min CD when the film is actually 133mins. If the 800mb that you got was AVI then that would work but thats not a VCD. So is your 800mb a VCD or AVI? As if its a VCD it would suggest you only have 80mins of the film.

You obviously have some crap compression tools :D

Perhaps girls don't like me, or as PM said, I'd take them elsewhere ;)

Seriously though, I love the cinema as much as the next person, I just like to have a copy I can watch over and over again without shelling out another seven quid, unless it's THAT good (Matrix 2, T3 surely) that I have to see it at the cinema a further three times :D

I can sympathise there - there's nothing more annoying than trying to watch a film with retarded teenagers throwing pop corn at you. I just get them kicked out :D

Well, I'm not bothered about cost, I just think that if the opportunity to download a decent copy is there, then go for it and if it's decent, I'll go see it at the cinema - "where it's supposed to be seen", as Snuggly put it. Try DVD mate :)

Again, I don't have a problem with this, in fact it helps you get a taster of what films are coming soon. And I always bring my own food and drink anyway :D

Yeah, BitTorrent's films are very high quality. In fact, I managed to get a DivX of Bruce Almighty the other day - AMAZING quality. I have a TV-out card so I can watch it on my TV or my projection screen. Suck on that everyone :D

Hmmm. Not so sure there, I just hate those gits asking me if I'm 15 or not. Of course I'm bloody not, but you're going to let me in anyway, because I pre-booked tickets :D
