Nice DVD Scr. 8/9/?

Picture was a little off standard dvdscr quality but still great.

I didn't catch the oscars, which category was this gem nominated in. Oh wait, maybe, just maybe, its not an oscar screener.

Not scary , but you gotta love the kill scenes, when i made my dvdr of it , i divided the chapters up within 5 seconds of each death for easy access.

try it


TCF ROCKS





Actually the b&w shit pisses off many people. Me and most ppl I know really hate it. If I know in advance I dont download those DVDSCR with B&W scenes anymore unless i am dieing to see the movie. I rather wait for a retail which is good for burning too.
In total of course you are right, it doesnt stop piracy. But it certainly stops me and many others from burning those DVDSCRs.

b&w scenes have been used for yeeears by companies, its not as much a way to stop piracy, but to stop rental stores passing them off as real copies before the official release date i believe.

as for b&w scenes, can't say i really care. they generally last for 60 secs, and happen a few times per movie. if that puts you off watching a film, then the scene simply aint the right place for you personally i find heavily watermarked and blurred copies a lot more intrusive, altho a simple timecode is ok

"widescreen bars" .. as for them... original aspect ratio or death 4:3 is for girls

4:3 for me

Personally I like a 4:3 aspect ratio better, I would rather lose the useless part of the picture and not have black bars. But, if I had a widescreen tv I would obviously pefer the widescreen.

::you don't understand widescreen apparently. Unless you think the right and left sides are "useless". -K::


Posted by royman on 04-14-2003 11:52 PM:

Well, I find those left and right sides non-essential, and it would be better just to have the black bars avoided. That is just my preference.

I know this is probably gonna get deleted cos it has nothing to do with the quality of the release BUT...

this was a comedy... a very dark and black comedy but a comedy. We couldn't stop laughing when we went to see it at the cinema, nor could most other people and they ENJOYED the film, they didn't laugh because it was crap, they laughed because, for some reason, it's hilarious to see people die in the most elaborate ways.

I just rewatched it with a bunch of friends, they agreed it was a comedy.

And I don't care what imdb.com says, they list Killer Klowns as a "Horror / SciFi" and try telling me that wasn't a comedy.

Re: 4:3 for me

I think it really depends how you look at it. I see it as a comedy because of how stupid it is. I think the filmakers did not intend to make it that way, but they may have laughed at their own poor movie after it was created.

Death Sceens are awsome. Some of the best i've seen. Great quality, but does have propery of msgs and sceens of black and white for about a minute at a time. Sound is low though. 9/8.5/6

howdy, pho!

so tell us, mopho, how is it exactly that video rental stores selling copies of screeners that have been sent to them, and trying to pass them off as retail, isn't "piracy"?

;P

Not Bad but could be much better

I wanted the movie and was surprised at it's quality. It's not often I get to see a movie of this caliber put into the newsgroup. However I would like to point out a few things.

I am use to seeing the scrolling message at the bottom of the screen. The screen turns into a black/white, which is no big deal because their is no loss in the movie.

I found their to be a huge flaw at the end of the first cd where it skips. It has been burnt a few times and it keeps on coming up. I am quite surprised to see it.

It is better then the first one in quality (picels and such) but not without it's glitches.

I have 2 sony dvd players and both of mine don't support SVCD, so maybe that might be the problem but I'm not sure what model u have.

Finally this release was needed Good Vid the black and white screens suck but hey itz free sound is a bit low just turn up teh audio As for the movie it was pretty crappy not scary at all plot was quite lacking. The death scenese were quite comical though
8/8/4

great job guys similiar in quality to the Friday After Next DVDSCR, with the same text and black and white scenes, I counted 4 a cd I believe. At least the original death scene in the girls mind is in color, that is such a good scene. But its unfortunate that evan's eye impaling is in black and white. Oh well, 4 months to dvd so this is very good, been waiting for a new release of this. 9/9/9

almost no sony dvd players support vcd or svcd on cd-r/rw, most likely because sony is also a producer of content, and has no desire to encourage the burning of movies onto cd-r.
