Movie was alright, seems like most of it was adlibbed. Saw this in the theatre.. those dots are all over this one. Blink and you'll miss 'em.. I saw them two or three times.

I wanted to wait until I had more than the sample to judge.
It is cropped and slightly angled but not bad for a first out
CAM. I'm glad they don't try to make it be more than it is and putting it out as some TC or TS.

Thanks POT for finally doing this movie.

Ratings are based on CAM quality.

It's not that bad of a CAM..i know i should wait, but i'm in such a rush to see the movie..from the looks of it, the vid/audio/movie all look good, can't wait

6/6/6 ::edit:: from what i heard about this movie, and even my own expectations, i'm fucking disappointed..this movie wasn't very good. Only a few parts were funny, rest were just plain stupid...oh well, it's worth another watch i guess. Wait for a good TS, it'll probably be more enjoyable..


Posted by frak on 07-11-2004 07:48 AM:

quality is crapola - but you can't fault pot for being fast...
good job on the opening day release.


Posted by raistlin on 07-11-2004 08:36 AM:

nuked?

best pot release i've seen....still its a cam.. audio is super hollow, but it doesn't have the weird static they sometimes get...and at least the cam isn't at an angle to the screen


Posted by HipB on 07-11-2004 08:58 AM:

decent first, its a cam so u can only expect so much, it is a quite bit zoomed, but not enuff to screw the viewing up but so much, spidey 2 pot was worse... or more centered here... either way... the audio is what i have come to expect from a pot cam, and what would perfect 10 audio be with a cam anyway, has any1 achieved that? ok with that said the sample is 7/7/?? will edit tomorrow
ps - i know ts is cam video, but has a cam ever had ts video? as direct audio has changed over the past years (boom mikes from ctP), to hearing disabled jacks (ctp too and most grps til recent days), to now the predominant videocd dts (i hate the crop, and the AR change, yes their ts look a tad bit vertically squished to me, but they are on top, hope they wont have hardships), i think video has too... maybe cuz no1 really cares to do their own cams cept uti sometimes (no more that is), so now all cams are silvers... am i right is how this has worked or not? cuz as ts's get better, does that mean we rate cam video against ts video cause they are the same when u get down to it...

:: The flames below were quite un-needed (not u lorddusty, u set me right without the flaming) and altho the sound part maybe wrong, the video part was not touched on... either way have fun, im not going to flame y'all ill take that as constructive critisism and be on with it, btw mystic... i know u dont give a fuck as u havent recently... but i didnt do shit to you, and calling me out is ok, but that was beyond, i would appreciate the respect u think u deserve on the boards but never get, and ill continue to show u my respect, just a thought tho... ::

Ok I'm going to clarify this for hopefully the last fucking time.. those boom mikes you saw in cenrtopys rls's were NOT to capture the audio. Centropy shot some of their films on unmatted surfaces (ie not your standard silver screen)... so the boom mikes you saw were actually on the film itself.. centropy used dual line mono from test jacks...

As per your question as to whether or not silvers are sourced for TS.. not normally (their vid quality is not usually up to snuff). However most telecines are sourced from pdvd and combined with dts so we dont have to hear them in russian.

edit err... think i misread your question allthough i can't figure out wtf you're trying to ask...


Posted by Mystic Slippe on 07-11-2004 11:37 AM:

LMFAO

I still can't believe some folks think Centropy or whoever used fucking boom mikes to capture audio.

ARE YOU FUCKING THICK OR WHAT?

"oh, hello, i don't want to give away the fact i'm camming a movie here, but i suppose no-one will notice my FUCK OFF OVERSIZED BOOM MIKE DANGLING AROUND IN THE AIR! OMFG!"

SERIOUSLY. HOW FUCKING THICK SKULLED ARE SOME OF YOU CHILDREN THAT POST HERE?

HONESTLY, THAT BOOM MIKE FABLE IS THE MOST FUCKING RETARDED THING I'VE EVER HEARD.

IF YOU BELIEVE A GROUP SAT THERE TRYING NOT TO GIVE THEMSELVES AWAY WITH A CAMCORDER YET USED A FUCKING BOOM MIKE TO CAPTURE AUDIO, THEN YOU HAVE THE IQ OF A BUBBLE IN A MALTESER AND ABOUT AS MUCH COMMON SENSE AS A ROTTING DONKEY.

FOR FUCK SAKE, ENOUGH WITH THE BOOM MIKE CRAP ALREADY.

for christs sake

You need to chill the fuck out Mystic... .considering you sposed to be a mod here.... I mean, ya obviously can send a message to someone to tell em to STFU about shit if ya wanna, but nah, ya gotta try to look like you swingin big balls around here, even tho ya got little fuckin marbles down under... go take yer fuckin pills and learn how to act... Grow up ya 10 year old. You are seriously the one consistent person here that I absolutely despise - and considering I've never met you, all I know from you is what you post - that's not good. How you became and stay a mod here is beyond me...

Seriously folks, I come here to read reviews and posts, and this shit is rediculous... Mods that are complete jokes, people "reviewing" who obviously haven't seen shit, this is rediculous.

Now on to the review.... Video isn't too bad for a cam, audio is average from what I've come to expect from recent cams. I'm not a huge fan of PoT, but for quick and dirty cams I guess they do ok...

5/5/?

The 15 minutes I watched of this didn't seem that funny... everyone talkin about this movie being one of the "funniest in years".... I don't think it's anywhere near that so far... will update when done watching it all.

Mystic would probably be the first person to admit that he can be a dick at times, we all can, but I can't see what you're objecting to in this thread... Did you think CTP were using boom mikes and now he's burst your bubble? I mean, let's be honest here, if you did think that, you're one of the retarded people he was talking about.

Oh, and before you start flaming me, let me reiterate: If you thought CTP used boom mikes, your're an idiot, if you didn't, then maybe you're not!

Sound is better then the picture again. This is a cam so cant complain much. Im usually more picky about the sound over the video and can adjust my screen if needed. The Picture is grainy and a bit blurry, bit dark also. Camera was zoomed in as nfo said during the intro the first and last letters of the names were cut off. (only skimmed through CD1). The Sound was pretty good for a cam , has an echo and in the sample you can hear a guy close to the cameraman talking. Thanks for labeling it proper POT! Going to fully watch this copy when i wake up more .

Someone said a few days ago "why do groups hate nforce so much?" Viewed nforce and they have this movie nuked as bad AR. Which is funny 1) cause its a CAM , 2) The Camera was zoomed in not encoding bad AR problem (from nfo). My guess is they got a shitload of kiddies running that page who dont know how to nuke. Thank god for vcdquality!

5/7/?

Wow...now that's a razor sharp wit. And you probably sat there and thought about that one for a while too. lol

Re: ...

As for the rating, it's a CAM, worth downloading if your not a quality freak (which i am). So i'll download the TS when it comes out. Thanks POT, always first in the scene.

EDIT: just got done watching it, i think it's hilarious. Rating 5/5/9

looked okay for a cam movie was not as funny as I thaught it would be. 5/6/5


Posted by Pickles on 07-12-2004 03:27 PM:

This movie wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I expected either. As everyone already stated audio is a bit hollow, video is zoomed and a bit to dark. At the beg of CD1 as firefighter stated half the creds are cut off and on CD2 at around 15 min 30 seconds or so the whole screen goes blue for about 10 to 15 seconds then comes back to normal. If you must see grab it but you're better off waiting on a TS.

Audio 6
Video 5
Movie 5


Posted by drwoogie on 07-12-2004 04:35 PM:

Picture 6 Audio 5 Movie about a 5 not what i expected at all.Elf was funnier than this.

This IS an Ok release video's a bit cropped and colors are a bit washed. Sound was a lot better than i expected for a cam.
Looks like there might be a tiny bit missing from cd2, screen goes blue for about 10 secs then continues.

5/7/7


Posted by DIVX~KVCD~SVC on 07-12-2004 09:01 PM:

Talking

for a cam this was great. the pic was not as bad as they say the sound is not that hollow. and the movie is funny, not the best of the year but pretty funny. 6/6/9


Posted by CM2 on 07-12-2004 09:37 PM:

it's not too bad, I watched it.

Not bad release, but not good either. At least they put it out. Where is the VideoCD's version? Thanks POT! I can't wait for you guys to get nicer equipment for better captures.


Posted by Itsyourturnok on 07-13-2004 05:56 PM:

I made a post here 2 days ago but I guess the nazi mods never got around to it somehow im getting emails about replys to the post but oh-well they have better things to do like tell people how much smarter/better they are then you

I will try this agian

The movie was pretty good for a cam but if your picky you should wait

6/7/?


Posted by CH0J1N on 07-13-2004 07:20 PM:

Video Not too bad for a cam really. Watched it on a 44inch and was pretty decent. Screen went blue for a while on disk 2 just before the gang fight, but maybe just a corrupt download?. Audio was quite hollow as many have said with a bit of a hiss but still easy to hear. The movie though, Im sorry but it has gotta be the least funny sack of retarded rubish Ive seen for a very long time, and this is coming from a no hoper who thought Soul Plane Was quite good. 5/5/-50

got sick of waiting for a better release, so i grabbed this one.

video actually wasn't that bad and the audio is decent (just
turn up the bass a little and the treble down).

movie was ok.

video: 6.5
audio: 6
movie: 6

Unhappy King Arthur

What a waste of a great release, ppl standing up everywhere, i say if its worth doing, do it right the first time, i agree is free and im sure we all appreciate centrophy's work, but get it right the first time guys for godsake!


Posted by dalton4life on 07-20-2004 07:41 PM:

Not too bad for a Cam. It looked like it was cropped to full screen and then squished to wide screen to me. So that's just bad AR with a little too much cropping of the heads. I don't know why folks do that. When pulled out to full screen it looks a decent full screen cam release. Audio almost sounded direct but I heard a couple of faint laughes when Brick said he loves carpet. The movie was decent. Not the funniest thing I've ever seen but it had more than a few good laughs in it.

7/7/7

Cool Just My Two Cents...

This movie was one of the funniest movies i've seen since Dodgeball. Okay, that's only been a few weeks. Remember, my ratings are based on cam ratings

Audio - 8 - The audio wasn't wonderful but wasn't bad. Very understandable and there weren't any hisses or squeals or anything. The louder parts sounded a little "stepped on" but since this is a comedy and not an action movie I dont think it matters.

Video - 8 - The video is a little cropped and zoomed in and for some reason right after the start of CD 2 I get a blue screen for about 10 seconds or so. It's definately cam quality.... how ironic since it's a cam. The video is not top quality but there isn't any action scenes ((No action scenes in a comedy what's up with that??))

Movie - 9 - This movie is absolutely hilarious. I laughed, out loud, many times. If you like comedies or moving pictures or joy buzzers and whoopi cushions then you'll love this movie. Though, there's no joy buzzers or whoopi cushions.

Conclusion 8/8/9 - Not a bad cam PoT. Keep up the good work. Definately an improvement from your first releases. I'm really glad to see the scene making a comeback in a big way. More groups putting out better quality stuff. It's... touching. *sniff*
