I never did get an answer on whether or not they can do a direct transfer and play on LSC's giant OmniMAX screen... that would be some MAJOR head swiveling!

Great now I can download it and watch it in a really crappy fashion, or I could wait a short while, and spend $10 to see it in a theater.

It's definitely not out. Some moron reporter probably did some deep investigation and went to kazaa, typed in "Matrix Reloaded" and saw the hits for those fake files that are in actuality movies like "Ice Age."

I'm more interested in the 24,000 watt sound system and crystal clear picture.

I can deal with a bit of head swiveling. :D

bet that ain't bose


bose sucks

it's for the average consumer that bought into their marketing and hype.

It's "spreading like wildfire" if you are referring to how well a wildfire spreads in a vacuum.

There's no mention of it anywhere on IRC or Usenet. I think it's a sham.

Every place I've been on bittorrent or IRC so far says it's fake. All the reseed requests on bittorrent on the sites I go to are getting nixed b/c so far no one's seen the real thing.

But, I could care less if it's an SVCD or the multi-terrabyte final renders from the studio. That's one movie that would be a travesty not to see on the big screen.

T3 on the other hand, I would dl it a month early and watch it on a b&w 12" tv.

Downloading T3 would be a waste of bandwidth. I'll wait until the copyright on that one lapses and then buy it real cheap.

"The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Matrix Revolutions," will be released on Imax's 15 frames-per-second/70mm screen format to accompany the standard theatrical releases debuting this year.

just a question about this i got from one of the posts - i have never seen an imax movie before, but what is with the 15 frames per second? does an imax movie look like a colorful strobe light?

Those who take all the time to bootleg it are already investing more than would be required to make the money to watch the movie. If they're that avid about their movie-watching, nothing's going to keep them from going to the theater's to see it... even if they did get a sneak preview. If the first matrix was shown in the theaters again, I'd go see it. And I've watched it several times (non-bootleg, although I admit the first time I watched it was on a friend's bootleg copy... and I still bought the movie, just because it was so good.)

That doesn't in any way justify bootlegging. But I really do think that the majority of bootlegging is done "because I can" and is largely harmless. It's also non-enforceable. That's why we have the 21st amendment. It wasn't because we as a nation decided that alcohol was bad and then recanted our position a few years later. It was because the 19th amendment became such a joke that we just had to introduce the 21st to avoid hypocrisy.

Now I'm sitting back, twiddling my fingers, and thinking about the RIAA and ways in which history might repeat itself...

There was talk of a "6 cd SVCD" release of it like a week ago but never fooled anyone with a clue that it was a fake since the movie is not long enough to even span 6cd's.

Its not out yet. The guy who wrote the article just saw it listed on Kazza or something. Almost as bad as Lucas saying AOTC was not on the net a full week after I already saw it.

Even if it is out in VCD there is nothing like the experience on the big screen. Although, it wouldn't be too bad if you wanted to watch it again and not have to wait for the DVD to come out.
