Well sh*t, that didn't take long...

No, don't report that one. I find it to be a guilty pleasure for me in between showings!

Personally, I think if WB showed this particular clip on tv, it might entise people to go check it out on the big screen. I know Star Wars did this with all the prequels.

So now some piracy is okay when it's eyecandy... that's about as unhypocritical as it gets.

Peachy.

When it's a clip, it's no different than watching a commercial.

If it was the whole movie, then yes, it's piracy.

:looks at her pitchfork gathering dust in the corner:

Aww man, I dunno...

Argh. It's not the whole movie....

But it is the best part of the movie, which may be even worse...

Oh what to do, what to do... *paces back & forth*

So it's all good them? Good, I actually watched the video before I told you about it. I couldn't resist.

*gasp* Scandalous!



Just kidding; I, uh, watched it, too...

This isn't as clear-cut as someone uploading an entire movie that is HASN'T EVEN BEEN OUT FOR A WEEK in theaters.

On the one hand, yeah, the clip could spoil the surprise. On the other hand... it might make people who see it think, "WOW is the rest of the movie going to be like this???" Then they'll either download a bootleg of TMNT or they may actually go to the theaters.

But then again, that scene was pretty much the highlight of the movie.

It's tough. I'd almost leave it, because some of us who have seen the movie may want to see that scene again... and again... and again. But then... some people may ONLY be interested in seeing the fight and nothing else. Just do what you think is right.

Agreed. A commercial highlighting the buildup for that fight would have been great.

Yes maybe it's a little hypocritical to permit this clip. Considering it was not in a commercial or trailer, and only could come from a rip of the movie. But this is but 1 scene in the movie and it's a guilty pleasure.

I wouldn't care if it was removed, but I also don't mind that it exists.

[Anarky]

That is not just a little hypocritical, that is just downright ridiculous. Now, where's this task force with all the adamant "No piracy!"-people?

First you complain that we're too loud. Now you complain that we're too quiet. What do you want, my Lord? We're doing our business quietly so that you don't freak out and wet your pants -- which you mock us for doing, speaking of hypocrisy. As of yet, I personally haven't found any more uploads of the whole movie on YouTube -- that's where we're unanimous that some action must be taken.

[Anarky]

So piracy is okay, while piracy is not okay? Great logic there. And no matter how long a post you can whip up to tell me I'm wrong, it comes down to you having flaws in your own logic.

Anyways, stealth ninja task force against piracy is nice and all, but where can the regular, visible Joe contact you elusive lot? Just incase Joe finds something you might have missed. Make an E-Mail adress or something, write it in a new thread and tadaah, there you go. You know, have a "Contact the stealth ninja piracy task force"-helpdesk, so everyone can help.

[Kendamu]

Anarky, would you like a side of context with that rant?

One clip? Whoop-tie doo... Seemed like you could see half the movie from the clips on IGN, anyway.

The whole movie? Well, of course it needs to be removed. We want a sequel and we want it to be good. That means the movie actually has to make money! I just hope that whoever downloads bootlegs has already seen the movie or will go see it.

I'm not trying to convince YOU Anarky. Hell will freeze over, world hunger and poverty will be conquered, and all wars will end before I convince you of anything -- besides me being wrong and you being the enlightened Buddha on all matters.

As for random Joe finding anything, he could just PM the people who have been making such a ruckus -- we were condemned, so don't be surprised that we're suddenly quieter. Besides, making such a thread providing info will do no good (UNLESS any of you Mods are willing to sticky it -- but somehow I doubt you would).

Several days may pass before someone uploads the entire movie again onto YouTube -- if it ever happens again. By then, the thread with the info will be on the third page of archives along with the first two threads -- out of sight and out of mind.

I'm so glad you finally realize that.

You know, I've been waiting for that thread to sticky it. I thought that it went without saying that once you have your stealth ninja piracy task force (I love that term, sorry) set up, you'll let yourselves be known in one form of another. And since we at the Drome are against piracy as well, are willing to help wherever we can. And stickying a thread is nothing.

So: Stealth Ninja Piracy Task Force, you're on Go! Just don't post links in public places.

Alright, I dragged (and paid) for my roommate and my boyfriend and a visiting friend to see the movie ($36.00... they loved it so it was worth it) then I went again on Saturday night which was another $8.50 or so.

Around Monday night I missed it already and I can't get back to the theater any time soon and I'm broke now. So I bittorrented that pirated version floating around. Then I burt it to a DVD disc and played it on the TV downstairs. The roommate I took to the movie walks by while I was replying the Raph/Leo battle for about the 10th time and says something to the effect of "Uh, that's interesting..." with a particular look on her face. Then she asked me where I got such a good quality version of it.

That being said the bootleg that is drifting around the internet is actually not very high quality. There is a odd red tinge to it. My roommate and I think it was done as an inside job... as in someone who works at the theater made it. The audio goes out of sync badly in three places, but luckily goes back into sync afterwards.

I don't feel guilty about watching a bootleg version, only because I do plan to buy the DVD when it comes out and I've seen it in theaters twice and took all my friends. But I do think that anyone who only watches it on bootleg is a very VERY sad individual. Do all that you can to go see it in the theater, it is more than worth it. Go by yourself, there is nothing wrong with that. I went to Brokeback Mountain by myself because no one wanted to see it with me. It was no different than having friends by your side because ideally you'll be watching the movie, not talking to them anyway.

I don't see why everyone thinks that the Raph/Leo fight scene was the highlight of the movie.... it was way too short. It needed to last another 2 to 5 minutes to be able to earn the right to "best" or "highlight" titles, at least for me. The scene at the end was the real highlight, at least you got 12 minutes of fighting, without going off camera or hiding the hits.

I'm really hoping "WHEN" there is a sequal, they take that to heart and add more/longer/shown fight scenes. The lack of, is my biggest gripe about the whole movie.

I hate fights that tends to last forever, ''a la star wars''. Its just plain ridiculous.

I never had to fight more than maybe a minute or 2 at max !

A real fight is not lasting too long ya know. As soon as there's a mistake made by one of the 2....

So I'm quite happy of the fight, it was realistic, not as intense as I would liked it to be, but still pretty realistic.

Hmm, I agree yet disagree.

Very true that fights hardly last long. Any decent fight (real or TV/Video-Game) is nothing more then a series of stalemates, wearing each other down... and then a quick and decisive finish.

But I have to disagree, sometimes a longer fight is good. It shows balance and the attempt at different tactics as things fail. That it's not always about that one special attack that makes the opponent look easy.

Each fight, Leo vs Nightwatcher, and Leo vs Raph - only took a minute, 60 seconds.. The nightwatcher fight felt short, and yet somehow the Raph fight felt good.

Some of us don't live in America. Some of us don't want to see the movie dubbed to Swedish. Some of us have to dust off and raise the ol' Jolly Roger flag to even see the movie in its original language (and the thought of seeing it in Swedish makes some of us want to throw up).
I would've loved to see the movie in the theatre. I was totally looking forward to it. Had been looking forward to it since long before the movie was even announced. But stupid f**king Weinstein don't know thing one about international distribution, so they put the film in the hands of Nordisk Film, who ofcourse assume that only little kids who can't speak English or even read subtitles will want to see the movie, so they dub it to Swedish and don't even bother showing the original version as an alternative.

I f**king wanted to pay for this movie. I wanted to see it on a big screen. I didn't choose to be born here.

I'm definitely buying the DVD when it comes out, though.
But I don't have a projector, so that's an experience I'll never have. Stupid f**king Weinstein. Stupid f**king Nordisk Film.

Yeah. I'm bitter.

"Some of us" could have flown to London with some low-cost carrier to watch the movie on a big screen there... just like some European Dromers already did.
