Wow, just wow. I cannot believe what I am reading on the front page of
Oscar Torrents right now. I am a huge movie geek and like most cinema nerds am sick and tired of movie industries bullshit and I think these guys hit the proverbial nail into the old-and-busted coffin.
They pose an interesting stance, one that should be looked at with a serious frown (that’s to you Hollywood fat cats). Shouldn’t the people watch and decide who wins best picture, best actor or best cinematography? Why is it that we let faceless a-holes decide what the best movie of the year is? Why let them take three movies (the Lord of the Rings Trilogy) that are exactly the same, not give the first two any real recognition and then shower the third with as many awards as they can throw at Peter Jackson’s once fat ass?
Please support this site, and all they believe in. I think their mission statement to the guys who will try to shut them down says it all:
“You haven’t beaten us, so why not join us? Think of a new business model that doesn’t involve overpriced pieces of plastic and skanky cinemas hawking cheap carbohydrates while relying on $6/hr projectionists who can’t keep a film in focus — not to mention insulting your audiences by (to pick a few examples) surveilling us with nightvision glasses, searching bags, 30 minutes of commercials and bombarding us with ridiculous anti-piracy propaganda. Take a look at yourselves. Is it really any wonder we’re winning?”
