Met VinnieK today and was given the most glorious collection of obscure black metal I've ever seen. Couldn't stop for the cuppa unfortunately. Also, he's nothing like I expected him

But you also said you don't watch cams. I'm not sure how plainer I can make this to you, but a telesync is a cam! I know you've only seen an unfinished workprint because that's the only source that's out. I know this because I don't rely on a search of whatever p2p app you bottom feeders are using this week to know what is available. Actually no, but thanks for acknowledging I have superior knowledge to you

Uhm, you do realise a Telesync is a cam in terms of video source? It's only the audio that distinguishes it from a cam. Actually no, you probably dont know that. So here you are, I'm educational as well as mocking. A telesync is the same spec as a CAM except it uses an external audio source (most likely an audio jack in the chair for hard of hearing people). A direct audio source does not ensure a good quality audio source, as a lot of background noise can interfere. A lot of the times a telesync is filmed in an empty cinema or from the projection booth with a professional camera, giving a better picture quality. Quality ranges drastically, check the sample before downloading the full release. A high percentage of Telesyncs are CAMs that have been mislabeled. So your weekend viewing consisted of an unfinished workprint of a film with missing scenes, missing effects and blurred/cropped AR (Hostel 2) and a telesync cam (Evan Almighty). Sounds like fun!

I've not seen it and if I wanted to, I'll be waiting for a decent version. That screenshot isn't mine. I was probably like you 10 years ago I guess, hoovering up every crappy scene release going and peering at badly filmed cams with cropping and AR on a CRT (this was way before home dvd authoring was economically viable), struggling to hear tinny sound and having bits missing. This was all on modem and isdn back then too so films were compressed to shit and you'd squeeze a 90 minute film into a 200mb asf. I got out of 'the scene' a couple of years ago when one of the groups I had ties to was busted, although I was smart enough to keep in touch with a few friends for my zeroday action, and I guess I'm just disappointed that people are still prepared to trade quality for some sort of faux internet kudos points and that we don't seem to have moved on much.

Why is it that people flock to the internet to boast about how many crummy telesyncs they've watched? Sure, DVDScreeners aren't as commonplace as they used to be but I just can't fathom why anyone would want to ruin a potentially good film by having to peer at a dark source or cock their ear at cam audio just for some bizarre epenis++ thing. This isn't particularly directed at modey, there are lots who do it but your 'review' of Hostel 2 just staggers me. The only source out there is a Workprint. It's unfinished. It's incomplete. It's not the final version of the movie. I just dont get why you would want to ruin it this way. Please don't give me any rubbish about it being a dvdrip or anything less than a workprint because no matter what it was labelled on Limewire or whatever torrent tracker you happen to use, it's workprint. Edit: Love the special effects in the elevator scene.

Also, I met Owen yesterday at some fair thing being run in Nobles Park. Recognised him from his avatar. Didn't get the chance to stop for long as I was chasing my two kids around but seemed a thoroughly nice chap.

As severely pissed posts go dude that's one of the most coherent & sensible I've seen. Mine are normally much worse. I've checked the logs and he actually started to write it at 11.25pm.

Korean monster film? I'm in for some of that, thanks.

I know you.

Maybe they could put them all in something like a Gallery and we could put a link to it at the top of the page....

I dont normally post in these types of threads, or watch random shit on YouTube either, but I got linked to this THE KNEE!!! ARRRRGHHH!!

Actually you're right, it's no fun picking on the little guys.

Better that than someone who's entire gimmick is based around saying 'cock' a lot and talking about his beard?

Is this the part where I say 'O RLY?' ? I dunno man, it's hard to remember that far back to all the internet catchphrases you and the cool kids are using.

Oh wait, don't tell me, it made baby Jesus cry?

Circlejerk ITT

Doesn't that happen most days?

Ahh crap, I knew I recognised the face but the last time I saw you, you didn't have some retarded Will Ferrell style haircut.

About 8.10am? Possibly. I'm hard to miss after all.

Spotted Cret making homoxesual jibes at people in the Railway.

I bumped into a fully laden Ian Rush at lunchtime outside Bar George. He looked very dapper.

Nice job Internet Detective.

I saw the Poker car on Propect Terrace about 6.30pm tonight. Lurked for about 30 seconds to see if some German beekcake turned up but I was denied.

Or a handshake....
