There's a common thread here with people downloading the film for impending trips to West Africa.....

At this time of year its more to do with "screener" copies being sent out to people who are eligible to vote at award shows like the Oscars/Golden Globes etc, hence just about every new Oscar nominated movie being available for download.

And the ironic thing is the quality will be excellent, much better than, say, Sky.

Not condoning it, just stating the facts. I would guess that the percentage of people who watch a movie via a download would be pretty miniscule.

To be honest its not really a bad thing. I'm sure i remember reading something ages ago about how Universal were going to consider doing it legally, so you could get it online at the same time as it was at the cinema. Not just these screening ones but for anyone.

To be honest, i probably would do it to if my computer didn't get scared and run away at the thought of any major downloads.

Personally I think all this HD-DVD/Blu Ray stuff is a waste of time anyway, physical media is on the way out, even for HD. Downloads are definitley the way forward, whether legal or otherwise.

I loved it, best film since Fargo or Big Lebowski.

Going to see Sweeney Todd tonight!

There will be blood also looks excellent. Think this will get the Best Film Oscar this year and Daniel Day will get Best Actor.
