very watchable, better then some of the vcds that we been getting but looks more like a workprint


Posted by jorwex on 07-16-2002 03:49 AM:

where are u guys finding the jpgs of this? now before u flame the crap outta me, keep in mind im not asking where to dl the entire movie, just where to get a screenshot or sample. i'd like to see a jpg so i can comment on the quality of signs, im eager to see it cuz its hard to believe theyve released this so quickly. thanks and pls dont flame......


Posted by OzZyOz on 07-16-2002 03:49 AM:

This is nuked now what the hell is wrong with the nukers I wanted this so bad just found out it was [NUKED]Signs.TC.SVCD-TWCiSO how F'in lovely that just makes my day!!!!!11


Posted by MAXIMUS on 07-16-2002 04:13 AM:

very very very watchable...excellent on releaseing early, been lookin forward to this.

There is a bit of clutter, but sound is good and picture is way better then some of the shit that has come out lately. The only thing that sucks is the clutter but since its like 3 weeks early i aint complanin..i just wish the other groups would release somethin good, with the exception of a few groups...man the scene is goin downhill..tooo may propers and rencodes...OOPs ive said too much


Posted by Gurpinder on 07-16-2002 04:18 AM:

maybe its nuked cos twc cant lable for shit and calls all their shady workprints for telecine, while encoding their 5th gen tapes to svcd for no good reason whatsoever?


Posted by b0nk3r on 07-16-2002 04:18 AM:

judging by samples.. video would be execelent w/out the blackbars and wording at the bottom. sound was decent. but i think im still gonna watch this release. esspecially for a pre release, props goes to twciso

when is this movie gonna hit theaters? so i know if i should wait for FTF to release it.


Posted by green §hortz on 07-16-2002 04:35 AM:

Question Plot...

"'Signs' is really not the movie portrayed in the trailer. The sci-fi story you came to see -- dealing with extraterrestrials and crop circles -- is merely a subplot to the internal, spiritual strife suffered by Hess (Gibson)"

thats what someone posted at http://us.imdb.com/Title?0286106


Posted by majestacal on 07-16-2002 04:38 AM:

Thumbs up

I'm not complaining the picture and sound is great quality I think considering that it is eairly! I can live with the black bars at the top and the DO NOT DUPLICATE at the bottom its not that bad because the picture looks great! Props TWCISO gonna have a great movie to watch for tonight!

Don't worry about all the nukes and flamers.
Several scene guys/groups are trying to get twciso back for the propers they did on svcds. But in their minds they know that they're owned bigtime. This is the truth. It's all being played from within the scene.

Just try harder to get this release if you really want to.
BTW. Before you even start speculating, everyone knows i'm not in twc.

Now to the real deal...
Picture is watchable, sound is good.
Very nice for a ~3wk pre-release.
I would recommend it. This definitely makes up the disappointment (big bars) of lilo.

damn... Mad props. I've been really hoping that someone would get a pre of this movie!


Posted by gregk on 07-16-2002 05:14 AM:

Sigh, another great release.. and yes more bitching. Some people are never satisfied with anything. I would like to give TWCiSO mad props on this excellent release. Who cares about the blackbars seriously. The picture quality is superb, the sound is excellent, just those pesky black bars on top that you can get used to after 5 minutes is the only flaw of this release. I hope TWCiSO releases more like it!!! I'd rather have two blackbars on a telecine, then no blackbars on a movie shot on a PAL DV CAM. Just my preference.


Posted by oqwarrior on 07-16-2002 05:17 AM:

why hasn't a jpg been posted yet?


Posted by CoreDump on 07-16-2002 05:49 AM:

samples

How does one view samples for the movies... I see jpg screen shots only. I see people commenting on how the sound quality of movies is good/bad and the quality of a sample is good/bad. Am I missing something obvious?


Posted by psilocybinC on 07-16-2002 05:57 AM:

Lightbulb

TWCiSO doesn't want thier jpgs being posted i heard


Posted by mishtevan on 07-16-2002 06:00 AM:

Cool here's a sample

Hey, this is a good release for a pre. And the bar doesn't really bother me. As long as the video isn't too bad. Here's a jpeg for anyone that wanted a link to it:


Posted by oqwarrior on 07-16-2002 06:01 AM:

i hope i don't get in trouble for posting this, but here it goes anyways:


The group has asked us not to post their images. This includes links.


Posted by magregus on 07-16-2002 06:14 AM:

Cool not a telesync

this is a either a workprint or screener and its like a 4th generation vhs copy but its watchable


Posted by fenris on 07-16-2002 06:35 AM:

Why don't they want it to be posted are they pulling it so only a few lucky people get a copy??


Posted by Static on 07-16-2002 07:00 AM:

Nice colorful pic and clear sound.
Worth the d.l

Shouldnt be nuked. Workprint, Telecine, Telesync, I dont give a fuck. It's early, free, and much better than 90% of what's been released lately.

Posted by fenris on 07-16-2002 07:38 AM:

so did I ask the wrong question?? I wasn't sure if this comment was aimed at me or folks in general, "

"thing is that some people has to shutup sometimes and learn to respect group decisions"

If truth be known I do respect the decision of the groups who release this stuff, I'm not the one doing it so I have to. If I was releasing stuff like when I did anime digisubs it would be different but I'm not anymore. You will never hear me complain about quality or groups EVER in these message boards. I appreciate what I can get. Hell I know the risk I did a copy of X-men and released it to some friends on the net. It's not easy.

Thank you for hearing me out.


Posted by ebeats on 07-16-2002 07:42 AM:

hEY dude it's only been posted for a few hours, I've seen some populare releases take atleast 24hours to populate sources of interest. it will get around

Bunch of broke asses go out and see the movie and spend a buck or two.

It's free and what comes around goes around. Now, how about some cheese with that Whine!


Posted by AngelDeath on 07-16-2002 08:22 AM:

Well Dling this now, and I already got to see the sample to it and overall, its a very clear copy, and the sound for once doesnt sound hollow like some of the VCD's, in some areas in the sample you can see that its a tad blurry, but overall a very nice release.

I was abit skeptical when i saw the jpg wasnt being shown, but after getting the sample and seeing it for myself, Personally, Get the rls, cause its probably going to be the best out for awhile. FTF wont be able to get it this clear.

Very nice rls I must say.

Pic: 8
Audio: 6


Posted by tonikgin on 07-16-2002 10:57 AM:

glad it was nuked

even if you wanted this movie desperately to watch it.. ect... that quality is not great at all. first off, black bars all over the top to cover watermarks/serials.. and a 'do not duplicate' at the bottom staring boldly at you the entire time. Also, no reason in the WORLD to make this an svcd, quality doesn't meet up to svcd standards. Only thing svcd's need to be used for are dvd rips. But other than that, damn good release speed guys =)

the jpegs are 'usually' taken from the sample of the movie by the vcdq update staff (as far as i know)
S/VCD releases almost always include an nfo file for information about the release, as well as a 10(vcd) 15-20(svcd) megabyte sample.
a sample is a small cut from a release to give people an idea of the quality without having to download a complete cd.

Posted by nova64 on 07-16-2002 09:48 PM:

Guys, people, few points,

THIS is a mighty fine release, specially for a Pre release, so why not cut the bitching out.
Second, this is a screener of sorts, its used for viewing when recording soundtracks, if any of you doubt me, check out star wars the phantom menace dvd, in the making of docu, we see john williams scoring the music, on the wall, projected is the film, with serial numbers and info ALSO that red dignol line. So, it is offical (ok, from the soundtrac) but still the same, a fine release, also the most simple reason for the black bars, is there was probally serial numbers etc.. on the print in case of theft :-) so they have been blanked out.

Props for a top release, keep it up


Posted by napalmfuzz on 07-16-2002 10:02 PM:

actually if you dont have a mpeg sample people go apeshit.. only sites that dont have samples for the movies are small dumps.. or of course divx dumps

seen the sample and have all of cd1 sample is good bars across top suck though who cares if people see the timers at least they aint got bars accoss the top this is a WORKPRINT defidently u can see were the red line flys by the screen like ever 2 mins that means workprint it was in the rookie workprint also sound is good i think there music from what i can tell not like them ones with no music how bout groups stop misslabling shit and the world would be a better place

and wtf is up with twciso and not wanting there sample pics up on the site i say fuck them put the pics up

you ppl that bitch at everyone who bitch do just the same thing!!! I just heard some ppl say this is not a telecine and they are right, twciso SHOULD learn to lable right, they mislabeled Lilo & Stitch and they do it again here, this is a workprint or screener and no telecine! They also mislabeled there dvdrip from The Others but at least there they brought a nfo fix! It's not that its for free that you should take everything how it comes and that you should always be satisfied!


Posted by ^Om3n on 07-17-2002 01:29 AM:

DarkBeatz, TWC are always mislabling, guess you could say its their MO

Don't miss it.


Posted by breeze on 07-17-2002 05:18 AM:

it's not bad...you get used to the black bars...overall i'd give it a 8 for the pre...quality isn't bad...7.5


Posted by reef on 07-17-2002 05:25 AM:

Angry

First of all, GREAT JOB on this release. So early, and quality good enough that that nothing is lost on the movie. Damn fine job, if you ask me.

Second, screw all you backseat lamers who criticize other people's work. If you dont like it, stay away from it and dont waste your time here. This release is far ahead of the pack with respect to time and quality. Men in Black II was out early, but the quality wasnt there. This release is worthy.

Dont waste your time, trying to show your big brains talking about workprints and shit. Dont download it then.

If you cant supply better, than enjoy the fine work from TWCiSO. TWC deserves better than some of the lamers give here are worth. Fine Job!


Posted by Lsd on 07-17-2002 09:17 AM:

telesync.....eh....?

seen the sample... pic looks ok.... but the sound sucks....


imma still dl it cause its free....




Posted by zcar on 07-17-2002 09:43 AM:

i just watched disc 0ne
yes it is strictly speaking a workprint, however its always worth grabbing this as it is an unfinished version and perhaps the finished print might have subtle changes and character nuances this doesnt have!
pic is ok, a bit blurry perhaps way better than the average ts. The film itself is a good story and well worth watching, not in my top 10 films ever but certainly worthy of a download. Thanks to twciso for the release, mislabelled or not!
One last point though, why the hell is this a svcd, its short enough for vcd and the res would have been the same.
Over and out


Posted by Bluetonic on 07-17-2002 09:52 AM:

Just cought the sample!!!

I just saw the sample and I thought it is a great release would be better without the black bars and without the do not copy sign. But I just was wondering remember when the rookie came out and there was a pretty good release like this one it had the same red bar that crossed the screen every now and then but the movie was great only one flaw it had no music only voice and regular sounds is this release the same cuz I could catch any background music in the sample???


Posted by olympiakos on 07-17-2002 12:18 PM:

i heard its good quality...
im downloading it already


Posted by ^Om3n on 07-17-2002 12:27 PM:

Ok, i dont have this release and i am curious as to why people think its a workprint. If anybody would care to elaborate a little if would be quite helpful.

Posted by Ren on 07-17-2002 02:31 PM:

omen its cause of the obvious breaks inbetween cutting scenes near the end on disc 2, ie the part where the child is in need of his ventalin.

Over all, what a great film, It took me a while to get used to the pic after it zooms in slightly on disc 1 to get rid of the do not duplicate, the red strokes arnt annoying, pic is nice and clear, and some scenes its obvious that its a work as they havent amplified sound from people speaking, the film its self is filmed well and very spooky with out the need for major special effects, well worth watching, this I would go see in a theater to get the full experiance


Posted by VcdGahds on 07-17-2002 04:47 PM:

Movie was very nice quality, sound was fine. Black bars at top are very easy to get used to and did not affect my viewing at all. I wonder why they moved the bar up to take out the words "Do Not Duplicate" at the bottom, yet kept the black bars at the top...they may have been able to just lower the top, since the black bars ran across 75% of the top of the screen anyway...but either way, they did a great job on this. I think there is something missing between discs 1 and 2, and also near the end in a couple spots there are some short parts missing, which I won't get into to spoil the show for those who haven't seen it.

I would rate the quality a 7 video and 7 sound...I believe 8 is for perfect VHS screeners and 9 or 10 is for DVD quality screeners. This is just below a VHS screener, and with the blocks above it loses a half rating point.

As far as the show, it was another disappointment from M. Night, who seems to believe that a big ending can make up for a sub-par show. It worked in The Sixth Sense, because that was a great show from beginning to end. Unbreakable was slow, but ended nicely. Here, however, the end was not enough to save it. I give it a 5 only because Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix were outstanding.


Posted by Plug on 07-17-2002 04:53 PM:

How do you know its missing music?, i scoped trough it and i heard music. Maybe Manoj Nelliyattu didnt want so mutch music?
I think movies are alot creepier when there isnt much music.


Posted by Vamp|re on 07-17-2002 05:06 PM:

wtf is that red line that goes accross the screen? I thought it was a scene change marker but ot doesent make sense when it goes accross. What is it?

The quality is real good audio is ok video is ok dont see no reason to rls another copy of this and the reason they have the black bars at the time isent for timers its for serial numbers that are on the movie if those were to be displayed companies would know where this was taken from. They really dont bother much hardly noticible my tv is 27 in and you forget they are there after a while.

The movie is pretty good. Not the sci-fi you would think it is more of a thriller. Worth getting.


Posted by AngelDeath on 07-17-2002 07:09 PM:

Another Rls

Well yes this rls is good but its a WP and after seeing it, I would prefer a copy thats not a work print, cause the ending of the movie didnt really go well IMO as an ending, too many question inbetween the movie and the ending to me wasnt fitting, so I'd like to see another rls just to see if anything was missing, like Holloween rls.

Video: 7
Audio: 7
Movie: 8

what was left unanswered? did you watch it with your eyes closed? was the tv on? I understood the whole movie everything looked there even the ending. i dont wat to say anything else about the movies because i dont want to spoil it for anyone

Unanswered questions??? You must have been drunk and fell asleep with your mouth open while you were watching the movie. lol


Posted by AngelDeath on 07-18-2002 12:48 AM:

Well I dont want to give it away or say anything and spoil it either, but the ending I think could have been a bit more elaborate, and Yes my eyes were open, I understood the movie, but when I said it left questions unanswered, I guess in my head, like why didnt he do a couple of things that he did eariler, or why didnt his brother say a word, and I understood the ending, but I thought they would have given the ending a bit more thought to. Dont get me wrong, the movie was great, but the ending kinda bummed me out as to how it ended.

Didn't check for differences with the telesyncs released, but screener tapes don't exist before theather release and this isn't a telecine for sure cause:

-red line running across the screen every minute or so
-do not duplicate msg
-black bars covering the serials

Yes it is a very NICE release but mislabeled and that stinks, good work on the release but if they labeled workprint they would have gotton all the respect from everyone like they deserve!

And for all the mofo kazaa leechers, here is something new, nothing comes for FREE!!!!!!!! So don't bitch here that its free, if you think its free you shouldn't have it all...


Posted by Bartolomy on 07-18-2002 05:50 AM:

quality is ok, the movie itselfis even weaker thn unbreakable...someone tell this dir. to find a different subject......coz it starts to become reel boring


Posted by krazyfoo on 07-18-2002 08:37 AM:

i liked it.. the movie was good.. the acting was good.

the rls.. was pretty good.. excellent speed..
too bad it was mislabeled

Video: 7
Audio: 8 [the voice audio was great.. but sadly half the music wasnt fully mixed which are the drawbacks of a WP but hey.. at least its not The Rookie.. soundtrackless :P]

ibelite: you obviously didn't pay attention to the movie. the one you refer to as the oldest son is the guys BROTHER. you're an idiot and your review is worse than the movie itself


Posted by _JizzMopper_ on 07-18-2002 05:06 PM:

OK, this is my first post to this message board, but I am a long time reader, and I outdate the Internet Bootleg scene, since tghe days of WAYBACL!
Anyone who doesnt think this is an EXCELLENT quality release needs to have their head examined! I'm sure it was put to SVCD so it would not lose any quality (that is anythat it hadnt already lost) Had it been converted to VCD, it most certainly would have had strange artifacts and glitches caused by the loss of generation quality that the SOURCE already had! That said, This is a Excellent Movie, The Quality is by far the best that has hit the scene of any PRE RELEASE in recent history!

Black Bars, Dont Copy, WAAA WAAA WAAA WAAA So WHAT????
Its obviously a copy that was STOLEN from the sudio, it is VERY close to finished, if not the final Directors Print.....
VIDEO = 10
SOUND = 10
MOVIE = 10

Get your hands on this copy by all means, you WILL NOT regret it!!

PROPS TO WHOMEVER was involved in putting out this release, excellent choice in doing SVCD..... I Know it wouldnt not have had the same effect, in any other format, I understand Generation loss (Video to Video) and have hand much experience transfering things to MPG & MPG2 (VCD & SVCD)
THANX GUYS
I HOPE THIS MESSAGE IS READ BY SOMEONE WHO MIGHT NOT HAVE DOWNLOADED THIS MOVIE DUE TO THE FRUITS THAT ABOUND ON THIS BOARD!! YOU WOULD HAVE MISSED PROBABLY THE BEST PRE RELEASE FOR SOME TIME TO COME!!!

Great Movie!

ending was nice,but it was kind of retarded.in a way i was left wanting more.on the other hand though i was acturally scared.first movie since the dentist.whew some good cinema there.

you know i thought it was a dream.the movie should of been a dream though.in the beginning the daughter said she had a dream.then when they were in the bassment she said something else about a dream.they should of also made it like "bo" was half alien half human.cause you know she didn't like water.am getting besides myself.

Great Quality, too bad the movie kinda sucked!


Posted by Type-E on 07-20-2002 06:30 PM:

I am a dumbass an I don't quite understand the movie, why do they have to put it such that the girl said the water tasted bad? Why do they put the wife's accident scene in the alien scene? do they have any relation? I am ready to be flamed but I really want the answer.

vid quality is good

However, the movie stunk. I place this movie in the same boat as Kung Pow.

I found this really watchable quality wise. I forgot about the black bars pretty soon into the movie.

What I really wanted to say was this movie blew me away. I think it's the directors best flick. What i really liked was the ending.
[spoiler] Almost anticlimactic, the way he avoids an elaborate or crescendo and just removes the alien threat, leaving space for the real subject of the movie: The preacher coming to terms with the manner of his wifes death and subsequent loss of his faith, together with the consolidation of his relationship with his kids. I thought the intertwining of the wifes death story with the alien threat story was masterful [/spoiler]

Sorry if that all sounded really boring...


Posted by Wiseblood on 07-20-2002 10:06 PM:

video and sound were good, very watchable but the movie overall just sucked! In response to the last post, the ending was horrible. "masterful"? not even close.


Posted by renegade on 07-20-2002 11:42 PM:

Nice pre. Aside from the black bars the picture was good. Audio sounded good also. As for the movie certainly a let down. I expected more. Overall a nice pre release.

Review of the Release:

Definetly a WORKPRINT...no doubt in my mind. You can tell by....
1.No Soundtrack
2.This guys voice is edited in when he is off screen(near the end)
3.The things at top and bottom of screen
4. A diagonal red line goes across the screen ever so often
The video and sound quality were Excellent though and i enjoyed
it very much
Review of the Movie:
Very suspenseful(watch with girl )
It becomes predictable but all in all I Enjoyed the movie

this is my first post on this site although I have been downloading and watching movies for the past year, so I will try and give my best opions of releases.

review of singhs:

Picture Quality- for a pre release the quality is excellent, the black line at the top crossing out the serial number does not interfere with your viewing of the picture and at first its annoying but after 2 minutes u hardly notice it. the "do not duplicate" at the bottom goes away after a half hour. sometimes the picture seems a bit blurry but not to an extent that you will miss anything. I give the Picture Quality a 8/10

Sound- the sound is very good, all the voices can be heard, and no words are missed, although I found that a few times throughout the film the audio would get really loud when people were talking and i would turn down my reciever 1 notch, but would then go back to its normal level, I dint find it annoying that it did this im just saying taht it happened. the music is in this workprint, all the action scenes have music and the only time it seemed like the music was missing was a few minutes into the first disk when they were waking up and runing outside there house. the sound effects are all there and overall a good sounding svcd. I give the sound a 8/10

Movie- Fist let me say im a huge M. Night Shymalan fan, I thought the sixth sense was amazing and Unbreakable was brilliant. so right away I had great expectations for this film. The film starts right away with the crop circles already at the farm and you learn more about the characters as the film goes on, I think the director did a good job of telling the story and pacing, If you didnt like the pacing of unbreakable and thought that was boring, You will find this boring too. the director focuses more on charecter development and pregression of the story through the fear portraed by the charecters in the film rather then heavy special effects. As the movie goes on you find yourself waiting in anticipation of what will come next. I think so many peopel will want a huge ending like unbreakable's and the sixth sense that they will watch this ending and hate the movie. dont judge a movie by the ending. after the ending rolled I found myself sitting there thinking that I expected such an amazing ending I was fooled, but an hour later I was still thinking about this movie and only now as time went by do I appreciate the ending. I think this was a great movie and I loved the entire movie for being diffrent and not relying on special effects like independence day to tell a truly amazing alien story. the fear of not being shown too much all at once and relying on the main charecters who do a really good job to tell this story is truly worth the d/l to watch this realese, I give the movie a final score of a 9

Overall this realese gets a 8 1/2 out of 10. highlly recomended
also this is a workprint but from what I have heard from other people who attended private screenings this is very close to the thetrical release only 2 times during this workprint does the film jump and seem like a scene is missing, but its not a scene that u would have missed anything its just them not showing walking from one place and all of a sudden the scene jumps and u have arrived in that room , we will just have to wait and see if the director adds anything else in the final film right before the ending in this workprint

Talking Signs

Just watched this........looked great for such a prerelease..!


Posted by flipin on 07-22-2002 09:05 PM:

Outstanding movie, picture and sound were right on que. Loved it.


Posted by greatsave9 on 07-23-2002 04:53 AM:

All i have to say is that Mel should of taken Homer Simpsons ideas for this movie!

It was more boring than church, and they should of had the dog with the evil shifty eyes.

Then have the whole first cd go in fast motion. Then of course change the whole ending so he goes crazy and kills everyone with the American flag!


Posted by Krakn3Dfx on 07-23-2002 02:32 PM:

Anyone else having audio sync problems with this movie? I had it with the sample that I downloaded onto my PC and then when I played the VCDs on my Apex 3201 I had the problem there as well. Going to try it on my Apex 5131 tonight when I get home and see if the same problem exists there.


Posted by Peilo on 07-23-2002 11:00 PM:

What he said

I have to agree, this is the best pre-release I have seen to date, never mind the black bars, once ya get into the movie youll forget all about it. By all means hunt this one down.

Anyone who doesnt think this is an EXCELLENT quality release needs to have their head examined! I'm sure it was put to SVCD so it would not lose any quality (that is anythat it hadnt already lost) Had it been converted to VCD, it most certainly would have had strange artifacts and glitches caused by the loss of generation quality that the SOURCE already had! That said, This is a Excellent Movie, The Quality is by far the best that has hit the scene of any PRE RELEASE in recent history!

Black Bars, Dont Copy, WAAA WAAA WAAA WAAA So WHAT????
Its obviously a copy that was STOLEN from the sudio, it is VERY close to finished, if not the final Directors Print.....
VIDEO = 10
SOUND = 10
MOVIE = 10

Get your hands on this copy by all means, you WILL NOT regret it!!

PROPS TO WHOMEVER was involved in putting out this release, excellent choice in doing SVCD..... I Know it wouldnt not have had the same effect, in any other format, I understand Generation loss (Video to Video) and have hand much experience transfering things to MPG & MPG2 (VCD & SVCD)
THANX GUYS
I HOPE THIS MESSAGE IS READ BY SOMEONE WHO MIGHT NOT HAVE DOWNLOADED THIS MOVIE DUE TO THE FRUITS THAT ABOUND ON THIS BOARD!! YOU WOULD HAVE MISSED PROBABLY THE BEST PRE RELEASE FOR SOME TIME TO COME!!!


Posted by brr8760 on 07-24-2002 06:54 AM:

Gee, I've never posted on page 7 before. Just watched the show, and TWCiSO has NAILED this puppy. WHAT A GREAT RELEASE. Throw my name onto the pile of people who think this may be one of the two or three best releases of the year. It's PRE, it's high quality (pic & sound) and the black bars, etc. were wonderfully done. How they got ahold of this sucker is one of life's mysteries.

Thanks TWCiSO-- hope your mad props bucket is overflowing.

Quality is good. Video is about a 7.5 and sound about 7. I would say overall almost an 8.0 if it weren't for that dam copy gaurd red band floating thru the picture every 10 seconds or so and the black bar across the top and oh yea the white warning label across the bottom.

Shoot I don't know how any one could give a decent review of the movie like that. I hope someone comes up with a way to edit it out of there and re-releases it.

Since I don't see another good copies popping up yet I will give it another try tho and see if I can get past it this time. Dam it would be perfect otherwise!

Nice effort tho for such an early release guys.


Posted by FuriousD on 07-25-2002 05:19 AM:

OMG, this movie sucked! SUCKED!


Posted by chiefjoe on 07-25-2002 05:22 AM:

Guess I'll throw in my 2 cents (and ya'll are free to flame away):


First, the release- wow, everybody here has probably been at this longer that me, but this is one of the the best releases for any pre-home video/dvd movie I've ever seen, much less for a movie not even in theaters yet. Only thing I've gotten that beats this is TEG's Spiderman release. So what about the bars, and the red line, you get to watch the movie 2 fucking weeks early!!





****Spoilers*****


Second, about the movie itself- I think M. Night Shyamalan is a great director, what he's really good at is telling ordinary stories in extrordinary situations. In Unbreakable, the real story being told wasn't the comic book hero deal, it was Willis's character reconnecting with his son. In Signs, it's not the aliens, its the guy finding his faith again. The alien invasion is just the impetus for that. I must admit though, in telling that story, he did succeed in scaring me shitless a couple times. He's pretty good at that too.


****Spoilers*****

Hey guys! i'm new in this forum and i was wondering how do you rate the quality of this movie high when to me it only looks good when played on my pc. i got the twisco release and made it into a vcd thinkin it would be good quality but i was wrong it SUCKED big style. why is this? its so blocky and crap on vcd but in avi its near great?


Posted by ZYFER on 08-05-2002 11:47 AM:

it didn't even look all that good on my pc, I think people rated this one way too high. I am surprised not another good release is even available yet...
