You wouldn't steal a car etc.

Have sampled a few of these (The Revenant, Bridge of Spies & Spectre) and whilst the image quality and morality is too low for me to accept (high standards of piracy, you see) I'm sure there will be plenty out there who would enjoy them and then hand them in to their local police station.

The Hateful Eight was strawberry floating great! One of Tarantino's best, easily, the second half of the movie especially.

In order to recognise illegal behaviour for a different occasion, I watched The Hateful Eight. Thought it was boring and forced with crappy performances throughout.

You've raised my expectations that I've wisely spent £20 to see Hateful Eight in Odeon Leicester Square in 70mm format.

Besides some artistic bollocks, is there any actual reason/point it was filmed in 70mm? I mean, why film in a format that 99% of theatres and 0% of TVs are going to be able to reproduce?

Then again, I don't get why films are still filmed in a way that means they're letterboxed when you buy the Blu-Ray rather than being filmed in 16:9 since that's the primary format they're going to be watched in.

This is an absolute tragedy and heartbreaking to see, especially at this time of year. :-(

I, like many of the rest of you, shall conduct my own personal investigations and do what I can to help. If any of you feel obliged to collaborate, Avengers-style, I can be reached here.

it's really a question of "why not?". It's an interesting technical challenge. Like making a game today for the NES or Megadrive, the limitations of the format shape the work.

Sure, most people don't care. But Tarantino does, and he has the bucks to make it happen.

It's "artistic bollocks" but it feels right to me for a Western to be shot in that manner.

I think you've linked the size of the celluloid film to the aspect ratio. One doesn't determine the other. Did you see The Dark Knight rises in a proper IMAX cinema? The 70mm film sections took up the entire screen as it went to 16:9 aspect ratio. Looked amazing.

A larger celluloid print means it should be vastly more detailed and sharper, with better brightness and better picture in every way. Although the added detail is perhaps not as immediately obvious to the eye if the screen is twice as big too. I believe this is the main reason to opt for 70mm, it looks better.

Hateful Eight despite being filmed inside for the most part is filmed in a very wide aspect ratio but it's not a feature of 70mm that it's so wide, it's just Tarrantino's vision for the film.

I personally agree that directors should where possible opt for 16:9 as it's not far off being the Golden Ratio but more importantly to me, the black bars mean you have a smaller image to view and a lower resolution film (as all 1080 lines aren't being used) which is counterproductive to owning a Full HD telly. Also, as you say, the vast majority of the time, the film will be watched on a TV. It's usually only the one time you see it in cinema.

Comrades, it's pains me to have to tell that I continued with my investigations and discovered full HD versions of Everest, Sicario and The Martian. Most distressing of all is that the picture quality is superb :cry:

Disgusting. Disgusting that Sicario and Everest have leaked when I haven't even had the opportunity to see them in the cinema yet. Awful. I think I'll have a look for Sicario and inform the authorities of my findings.

Such awful behaviors requires subtitles to go with these new findings. Will this be made unimpossible?

The glorious full HD version of The Martian apparently has English subtitles. There's one section in Chinese which isn't translated but I presume it wasn't translated in the cinema either as it's assumed the audience obviously can understand the gist of discussion taking place.

That's correct I think. FWIW The Martian is a really good film, one of the best of 2015 for sure. Didn't think much of the soundtrack, mind. :slol:

To me this sounds like you are talking codswallop with the aim of distracting us from criminal activity. Utter codswallop.

However, on the off chance that you are an honest member of society just trying to inform people of what to avoid, I will investigate your claims further.

True but Jessica Chastain. We really need a Homer drooling smilie.

When I find one I will be sure to watch it the whol eway through in order to acertain the scope of the copyright violation being carried out by these awful, awful people. Obviously I would not want to waste police time if it was not the whole movie.
