Well, it’s because you aren't Adrienne 'oh please, praise me' Kosor; you don't go around taking credit for projects you barely touched—you just let others handle the spotlight.

A little authorial modesty, decent upbringing, take your pick.

The link is right there, it's free—so just watch it and tell me what you think. 😁

Bradley Torres67 said:Heh, yeah, they actually sent it to a few festivals.

Godfather, I’m sending the film over to San Francisco right away, and consider it high priority—maybe there's even a little something extra in it for you under the table. Honestly, though, they're pretty terrible; they just bash their heads against the wall because they have absolutely nothing left to show.

goldenhound32 said:So, what’s the verdict? Is it actually any good or am I just wasting my time?

Are you seriously missing the fact that Bradley Torres67 is the Chairman of the Board? Surely he isn't actually going to sit there and brag about his own movie out of some misplaced sense of artistic modesty. 😁

Bradley Torres67 said:Local flick - potato curse

Godfather, you thinking about catching this at this year's San Francisco film festival? 😁

This is absolute nonsense; apparently, Sedlar filmed this incredible movie or documentary— Searching for Orson.

I’ve sat through quite a few of Sedlar's films myself, and honestly, I don't even want to get into that (it makes me want to scream). 😬

We’re still waiting on an official statement from the Progressive Party (I think Friscic is drafting it). 😬

Just as a heads-up, ever since the Animal Welfare Act kicked in back in early 2007, you aren't allowed to just slaughter pigs without stunning them first (per Article 17, Section 1 and Article 19, Section 3). If you break the rules, fines can run anywhere from $10,000 up to $5.00.

Pigs are sentient, sensitive creatures with intelligence levels comparable to a dog's. When they're slaughtered without being stunned, their throats are cut and they're left to bleed out while they're still fully conscious. With a nervous system almost identical to our own, pigs experience the knife and the resulting intense pain just as acutely as a human would. Once we become indifferent to the suffering of another living being and lose respect for animal life, we ultimately lose respect for human life itself.

Anyway, here’s how things actually go down on my grandad's farm:



Everything is perfectly fine and strictly follows all those European Union regulations.

@Endimion17

American farmers are expecting a formal apology. 😁

Let's not play dumb here. While I won't say everyone, I’d bet most people who don't mind—or worse, actually get a kick out of—slaughtering livestock would find their moral compass toward killing a person significantly... shall we say, loosened. They just need a nudge. Some misplaced rage against someone from the "wrong" background, religion, or nationality, I suppose. Or maybe just some plain old vengeance.

It's true, hearing stuff like this is genuinely unsettling.

Maybe it's Deliverance's fault. 🤷

Honestly, what an absolute joke of a mockumentary. It’s all just flashy special effects masking a total lack of substance, which feels like a complete waste of my time and a massive insult to my projector
.

Quote: Sadly, Universal Studios will probably churn out a remake of this flick in English specifically for the "American audience." People here can be so incredibly dense; apparently, reading subtitles in our own language is just too much work.

🤣🤣🤣

Alright, let’s wrap this up and summarize—first you say...

hollowtrucker77 said:I’m really holding out hope that we don't end up dealing with some sort of clone infestation here

But honestly, if you ask me—from here on out, if anyone doesn't actually want to be part of this forum, they should probably just log off

... just so he could nail it home later:

hollowtrucker77 said:People have the right to show up, and they certainly have the right to walk away.
I’m pretty sure most of us here have cycled through various different places, and honestly, some of us probably still are.
At the end of the day, nobody owes anyone else an explanation, and frankly, one person's personal baggage or reasoning doesn't mean much to the rest of the world.
If someone decides down the road that they actually want to come back to the forums, the admin team will take a look at whatever caused their ban in the first place.

😕

So, what's the deal now? Are we just letting people log off on their own because the admins aren't handing out permanent bans on request anymore, or is it business as usual where you just shoot a private message to get someone gone for good? 🤷

Imagine you’ve got two major public trackers just sitting there for your own little private use: something like Pirate Bay or a similar massive site. The whole philosophy is pretty simple: find what you're looking for, skim through a few comments, yell 'BINGO!', and grab your files. 🤷

rapidviper89 said:I'm definitely with you on this one—if someone could drop a link, I'd really appreciate it since I've been hunting for it everywhere without any luck.
And maybe some subtitles too, if possible!

Not worth a damn. ☕

There aren't any subtitles (just check the specific thread you're browsing); people are waiting for them, and honestly, if you're looking for English subs for an American release, you might be waiting a while.

Edward Price6 said:I mean, I doubt many of you have actually sat down to watch this thing, and I’m not even sure if it’s easy to find online, but it feels like just a matter of time before someone tracks it down and starts pushing it through the festival circuit. Maybe I'm totally off base, though.

Actually, you're wrong; the movie's been out there since May 2010 (it's pretty much everywhere). English subtitles have been available since June of that same year.

I caught it late last year, and honestly, it wasn't half bad. I'll write up something more substantial tomorrow.

northerntrucker2 said:Did anyone happen to find it? 👋

Yeah, and it’s a BDRip too.

Just waiting on the subtitles now.

English Subs will be available soon on your favorite subtitle sites

@hollowtrucker77

The final curtain call on Otel. 😁

I’m talking about the Good Guys forum users—the ones who just drift away without causing a scene. It’s not like there’s any digital paper trail left behind (like showing up at the PZK offices to request a permanent ban, for whatever justifiable reason). No, those few decent forum regulars from the old PDF Movie group have just vanished into thin air (likely via a direct message to the admins).



So, here’s a suggestion: if it’s even remotely possible, maybe we could add a little label under the nicknames of permanently banned users, something like 'On Request.' That would clear up all the mystery. If clicking a button isn't too much of an ordeal for you guys, maybe instead of using that face above, just swap it for this:

😁

I have to say, I’m actually pretty relieved about the administration's latest move; it feels like the era of "forum euthanasia" has finally come to an end.

hollowtrucker77 said:I’m really holding out hope that we don't end up dealing with some sort of clone infestation here

But honestly, if you ask me—from here on out, if anyone doesn't actually want to be part of this forum, they should probably just log off

So, here's the deal: some of our absolute best contributors basically vanished overnight. And just to be clear, they didn't get kicked out—they actually went out of their way to beg the admins for a permanent ban.

It feels like there’s this general, non-personal sentiment floating around lately—and honestly, it's a fair point to raise: a user shows up today, drops some genuinely constructive posts, and then by tomorrow they’re just gone, permabanned under mysterious circumstances, as if they never even existed. We really ought to have a serious discussion about this over at the PZK, and maybe even ask the admins to add some kind of indicator to user nicknames to mark these instances of forum euthanasia.

To cut to the chase, seeing that specific shade of blue used for banned users just feels like a heavy-handed punishment—though I suppose you have to be someone like Vinko Pintarić to actually earn a permanent ban around here. It honestly doesn't sit right with me; why should the memory of certain members—who, in this particular instance, were actually decent, constructive people who helped build up the Movie sub-forum—be permanently tied to such a negative association? If someone simply loses interest in posting on the Forums, they should just log out and move on with their lives instead of leaving behind a color palette that screams "you're exiled." I guess I'll just go ahead and call it "djorno" then, since that seems to be where we're at..

I'm just glad that’s finally sorted out, even if it took one of the admins stepping in to actually make it happen. 🙂

The reviews are absolutely brutal. First, Ebert went out on a limb and gave the movie a full **** stars (is that some kind of Werner Herzog syndrome?), only to be met with this immediate backlash: Hereafter – review http://t.co/JYMtWHl via @guardian

Clint's shame ... Hereafter

Clint Eastwood's latest is an unholy embarrassment that everyone involved will do best to forget, writes Peter Bradshaw

Most of the other critics seem to be following suit, and if I’m remembering correctly, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences basically snubbed Clint's film entirely—aside from maybe one technical nomination. 🤷

We'll see how it plays out. 😁

@Jacob J. Harper

Haven't we already agreed a dozen times now that we aren't going to open these "maybe one day they'll actually make it" threads on the Movie forum? 🤷

The movie doesn't even have a director attached yet, so I'm really not sure what there is to actually debate here. 😕

I see where this is headed. It’s just going to be more endless bickering about political factions and three-phase power. ☕

placidjackal36 said:It’s not Throne, it’s Tron: Legacy.
You're totally misinterpreting what happened with the Throne. ThroneLook, I’m telling you, that movie just doesn't have anything to do with... Throne. 😛

Yeah, look, the movie is pretty thin when it comes to actual substance. It doesn't hit me like those typical Steven Seagal or Jackie Chan action flicks where they just churn out a fifteenth sequel with the exact same title, but you have to admit—it’s definitely lacking in terms of depth.

I honestly don't get why you even started this thread. You clearly just opened it because you're pissed off. Look, I run into absolute garbage movies all the time, but I don't go running to a forum to start a whole debate every single time I see one.
The movie theater experience is going downhill by the day. It’s pretty obvious why, too—the corporations running the show don't care about actually showing good cinema anymore. They only see a profit in pumping out endless blockbusters, and let's be honest, most of them are absolute garbage.
What can you even do about it? You just have to be more careful when you're picking things out next time.

I just caught this—she doesn't even know the actual title of the movie (and she's actually trying to get a refund over it). 🤦 🤣

I don't really get why this thread exists. You only started it because you're pissed off. Honestly, I watch total garbage movies all the time and I don't feel the need to start an entire online debate about them.

It wasn't even a user who started it; regardless, the whole thing just turned into a massive waste of time.

Henry Campbell5 said:It’s honestly such a pain having to research a movie before you even watch it just to avoid spoilers. It’s a pretty interesting topic, though. And sure, the self-righteous cops and the symbiote fans can go ahead and act all high and mighty about it. 😁

Just kidding. Heh... 🙄. Instead of just tearing into a young lady (presumably 🙂), there could have been a much more interesting debate regarding ticket prices for an art event. I think someone mentioned the possibility of a commission being formed to decide those rates. Though, technically, if a movie is total garbage, they should probably charge more for it—which kind of defeats the whole point of asking for a refund if the "art" turns out to be crap. 🤔

Using "spoilers" as an excuse in this thread is the most basic move in the book.

Besides, we already have a massive pile of these kinds of threads over on the Movies subforum.

The whole situation started because she went to see Tron: Legacy, absolutely hated it, and is now demanding a refund for her ticket.

😕

No, it's not like some cheap junk you bought from a shady singer at a flea market that you can return for a refund. You can do a little research before heading out to the theater (it's not like we're living in caves), find a decent screener online—which, let's face it, are all available long before these movies even hit American theaters—and then go watch it in a theater afterward (assuming you actually liked the movie and wanted to enhance the experience, or maybe just "pay back" the free viewing you did at home).

In other words, you have options.

Suck it, you know who you are. Just kidding. hi hi hi. 😁

Instead of attacking a young lady (I assume 🙂), this could have turned into a fascinating debate about the value of a ticket for an artistic event. There was even mention of some sort of commission that decides these things. Though, technically, if art is garbage, shouldn't we be charging more for it? Which kind of contradicts the whole idea of asking for money back if the art sucks. 🤔

Just go to an indie movie house if you care that much about the "value" of an artistic experience. 🤷

Rather than setting up a commission, we should probably run an experiment and document it. Take three volunteers. Put them in an AMC Theatres for a month, watching every single daily screening. Keep them under constant medical supervision—psychologists or psychiatrists—to systematically monitor their physical and mental states.

Interested?

Just a general observation, not a personal jab: Are you really going to go to AMC Theatres again next time just because you were "tricked" by a pretty poster or some hype? 😬

Jesse Thomas7 said:Christian Taylor3, thanks... even though your post is totally condescending and dripping with irony toward me, I’m just gonna look the other way and take everything you suggested and dump it into my spreadsheet...
P.s. Does it seriously have to be a grid-style sheet?

Once again, for those who actually bothered to listen:

"Life sucks. Get a F**king helmet, okay?"

There isn't much else intelligent or constructive to say here; the whole thread is basically turning into a playground for trolls (it's definitely ready to be locked). 😁

Jesse Thomas7 said:HAHAHA, well, hey—glad to be of service.😍 It’s always a little boost to have someone to tear apart; makes the day feel a bit brighter. Or what, are you all living in some kind of perfect symbiosis here or something?

The chat is extremely active, so feel free to go hunt for attention over there instead. 😬

Life’s a mess. Just grab a damn helmet and deal with it, alright?

Jesse Thomas7 said:I just hope we can all agree on one thing here: much like how professional football has evolved, movies have completely stopped caring about the "art" of filmmaking. It’s nothing but pure business now—just money, money, money. Let’s be real, it’s going to be nearly impossible to get a major studio to greenlight some small, heartfelt story when they can just pump out another superhero flick or some high-tech CGI spectacle instead. That’s exactly why so many fresh, actually quality ideas never even stand a chance at reaching an audience...

They’re still finding their way through, honestly. You just have to be a little more proactive about staying informed. This PDF is basically designed for that exact purpose.

For instance, 127 Hours It’s hitting theaters across the States pretty soon. Honestly, looking at this thread, we’ve got about 40 posts and not a single person has trashed it yet, which is actually kind of saying something. Still, I’d say stay cautious, just in case. The enemy never sleeps. At the end of the day, all these forum posts and opinions are pretty much just subjective nonsense anyway.

We’re moving on to the next step before we head out to the theater—because honestly, if I don't get this sorted, nobody's going to give a damn about me. 😁):

So, I finally sat down to check out the Rotten Tomatoes score for 127 Hours, and honestly, looking at the consensus there feels a bit like staring at a weather report when you already know it’s going to pour. It's one of those movies that really sticks in your brain, mostly because it makes you feel slightly claustrophobic just watching it, which isn't exactly a relaxing way to spend an afternoon. It’s a heavy watch, sure, but pretty much what you'd expect from a story about survival against impossible odds.

So, I was scrolling through Metacritic and stumbled upon the page for 127 Hours. Honestly, looking at those scores, you can really see how much people were polarized by this one. It’s that kind of movie that either hits you right in the gut or just leaves you feeling incredibly uncomfortable and wanting to look away from the screen entirely. It’s definitely not your typical popcorn flick, though I guess if you enjoy watching someone go through absolute hell, it might be right up your alley. Still, even with the critical acclaim, there's something about those intense scenes that makes me wonder why we even subject ourselves to such tension in the first place.

We’re far from finished; there's still one final step left on the checklist—Power to the People!

Just did a quick little dive into the search results for 127 Hours on Twitter, and honestly, it’s pretty much what you’d expect to find when you go looking for a deep dive into survival stories and intense cinematic moments. It’s a weirdly specific corner of the internet, but I guess if you’re interested in seeing how people react to extreme isolation or just want to geek out over the film, this is where it all happens.

Alright, go ahead and grab a notebook and get ready to take some serious notes...

I'm pretty sure I've seen this before, but honestly, my memory isn't exactly what it used to be. Is this that PDF film everyone's talking about? Or am I just losing my mind again? +
Retweeted. +
I honestly don't know what to make of this one. It feels like we're just circling the drain at this point, staring at nothing while waiting for something actually interesting to happen. +
I don't really have much to say about this, honestly. Just sitting here thinking about how things turn out. +

Well, look at that. We hit the jackpot. Total bingo.

Tron: Legacy I’d probably end up with four strikes on that same test. Enough to satisfy anyone actually using their brain. 🙂

Choose wisely, because you usually only get one shot at getting it right.

Santa Claus, Santa Claus, Santa Claus, looks like we finally have a topic! 😁

Roger Ebert: 'This is a superior horror film'
HorrorHR : “ Elf has definitely raised the bar

Deep within a mountain in the North Pole, a massive Christmas secret lies hidden. Under the guise of geological research, a wealthy businessman starts digging into the mountain to fulfill a childhood dream—finding Santa Claus. While work ramps up on the mountain, the locals in a nearby village are busy preparing for deer hunting season. One night, they stumble upon something truly shocking while checking their wolf traps.



What a movie, honestly. Forget those typical Hollywood Christmas productions (you know, the recent CGI garbage, right? Tim Allen and Will Ferrell drive me absolutely insane in those PG-13 fairy tales), or the stuff Coca-Cola spits out during the holidays (Bad Santa is basically the only exception that proves the rule), Elf is easily one of the best genre pieces ever made about the holiday season, featuring that incredibly irritating, stout, bearded character played by Julia Roberts. It’s not just "one of" the best—it sits comfortably on the winner's podium above a drunken My fuck stick Billy Bob Thornton.

A cult Christmas classic. Amen!

Definitely worth a watch.

SPOILER!

Virgin Mary, Virgin Mary! The Finns completely wrecked the Americans (🤣, too bad Roger Ebert didn't write anything about that). That torture scene in the slaughterhouse ('Where's the money?!' 🤣) belongs straight in an anthology, and then those bearded characters find—get this—an American passport! 🤣

The ending is perfect, just that subtle Nobody is screwing us Finns over in our own backyard strike against Americans. 😍
