Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

The Catwoman starring Halle Berry. Not only I found the movie sort of lame, also the quality of it was... Well. Someone went to the cinema and filmed the projection with a hand held camera. The image quality was trash, but the camera moved all the time, occasionally shaking. You got to hear the occasional cough or candy wrap noise from the audience, you got to see people standing up and moving across the camera because they needed a toilet break. You get the idea.

The Dark Knight Rises. I was in middle school, and my someone had told my parents that it was extremely violent. Anyway, my cousin had a pirated copy, so I watched it at his place. We could literally hear people chomping on popcorn, and see moving heads lol.

It's funny how many talk about cam versions burned to disk because that's my answer too. I found "Toy Story 3" in some bootleg ripped DVD's long LONG before it was ever made.

I bought it just because I was curious what was on the disk because it couldn't possibly be what the cover said.

I remember buying a VCD of some movie around 2000 and then 20 minutes in, I see the outline of someone getting up and walking out of the cinema the cam release was recorded in! I quit watching and from there on I only go for quality rips.

I got the screener of Signs before it came out in theaters. It was a solid copy, despite being a meh movie. DVD quality, had the red band that would scan diagonally across the image every few minutes, not a shitty cam.

I've seen some pretty funny cam records, people that would be filming the top of other people's heads half of the time, random talking and laughter, cam being dropped or the person not noticing it was now pointed at the front sit instead of the screen... and there was a curious thing when those betting mafias started, they started flooding the internet with a lot of cam records directly from the projection room, so they had good quality as framing goes but audio was shitty, and most of those seem to have come from Russia and they'd have audio and subtitles in random languages (with your local subtitles burned in the file over the subtitles on the theater screen) and tons of ads, especially 1xbet... but hey, you could watch the latest Marvel or Star Wars movie on the internet same day of release.

I bought a film DVD from a local shop (pirated, of course) and 2 songs and a few minutes before the interval didn't play properly, probably due to the disc being scratched or something.

If you're wondering, "songs?"... It was a Bollywood film. We had a lot of songs in films. Now a days, there's like 3 or 4 songs, ~3 minutes each. Up to around 2010, especially in the 80s and 90s films used to have 8-10 songs, some even 5-6 minutes long.

Sinners, just recently - not bad quality, but stopped in the middle for an advert in Hindi (I assume).

Not the worst one, but the worst one I watched entirely. Wanted to watch Freddy vs Jason with a friend. I got a DVD screener intended for press that switched to black and white every few minutes.

At first we thought it was intentional because the whole movie plays around with weirdly tinted scenes. So why not black and white as well?

2025 - after the virus

(It’s free on YouTube!)

It has… nothing. Go watch it. I cringed so much my future kids cringed

Pre release of Soul Plane. Half the effects weren't in the movie yet. Hilariously bad.
