    Personally I’m hoping for some type of piracy technology that will even let us download the movies before they where even made. How? I don’t know, nor do I care how its done, just create this tech already. We need it.

      if mel brooks can put spaceballs on instant cassette surely someone can find a way to make torrents before the movies finished

        I remember that Wolverine origin movie back in the day, it was out before the final effects where even put in. Right off the cutting room board.

          This also happened with the Minecraft movie, although I think it leaked at the same time as the theatrical release.

              Yes, but honestly watching it like that along with /v/ was pretty fun, better than the horrendous effects in the finished film.

            I love that feeling, its all over the news that something is just out and you already have it in the palm of your hand. I’ve had that several times in life, first time I had that happen was with the game “Iron Hand” on the Commodore 64 not a lot of people remember that game because I don’t think it was ever even published officially. Then later in life I had Windows XP on a CD a few days before its official release, and later with Wolverine which was awesome it still even had the notes on the screen one scene i remember it said “Nails grow” as Victor touches the glass of a window.

            People don’t realize the absolutely awesome times people can have as a pirate. Its a very jolly, fun, exciting life. I been sailing the high seas since 1988 and it has been a great old time.

                My bad, it was 35 days before the official launch. Windows Longhorn was what we called AIDS Vista back in the day, it came after XP. I never used Vista myself, I went from C64 to Amiga to Win 95, to Win 98 SE, to XP, to 7 and now 10.

                Longhorn was Windows Vista. I remember downloading what I thought was Longhorn before Vista’s release but it was just a heavily skinned version of Windows XP.
