Finally I was able to watch this movie...

Decent rls 16:9, audio real low had to turn up volume like 75-80%.

But the question I ask... How did this picture get nominated for best picture over like movies like Spiderman2 and Butterfly Effect?

Amazing... Movie was semi-ok, definatly no great movie in my eyes.

For its type of film i thought it was excellent. Anyways FCR fixed the problem with the SCREAM repack. Which had minor frame skips about every 1-2min. This one is definitely the release to get. Mega props to FCR for fixing this fine release!!


8/9/8 Pic still is NOT quite as clear for a DVDSCR as i would like, but once again that is because of the source DVD and is NOT the fault of FCR.

FCR seemed to fix the frame skips . Video is a little weak but as said before, thats the source material.

8/9/?


P.S. Butterfly Effect for best picture.... lol

"FCR" is blatantly misleading us with this release; it is clearly not a real DVD Screener. There’s no use in speculating on the source, but here are a few tell-tale signs that it’s just a homemade transcode to DVD-Video:

• Horrible de-interlaciing artifacts throughout the film.
  
• Aspect ratio cropped down to 1.78:1 from 1.85:1, like you’d find on an XviD release.
  
• Audio has clearly been transcoded to AC3 2.0 from another format, possibly MP3. (There are no dynamics, not to mention the unusually low volume.)
  
• Audio is slightly out of sync. Lip-sync gets worse as the movie progresses.
  
• Missing last minute of the end credits.
  
• The picture looks extremely soft -- there are no details whatsoever! Even the worst DVD transfers will look sharper than this.

it IS sourced from a real dvd screener - but the new "encrypted" screeners mean they can't do a straight rip, it has to be copied with a dvd recorder - old vcr to vcr style (hence the interlacing and bitrate). this is OLD news.

not the best quality, but fuck I'll live with it until something better comes along (I had no probs with the scream rls, btw, apart from the lack of 16:9

7/7/9

Because the two you mentioned were the shite of the year.

Spiderman 2 = Super (hero) overacting, crap story, made for kids.

Butterfly affect = wasted a decent(DECENT) story on a teen heart throb.

If either of those movies ever were nominated it would be the day that movies should stop being made.

This movie had a great story (for what it was about), great film editing (little under-used I guess they feared making the film "too independent" so "everyone" could enjoy it), and great acting, and was funny as hell. (Two tons of fun!)

But back to my comment on the rls

8/9/9

What, did you want a happy-happy ending? Do you need to see him getting the girl? Did you say "awe man" when the film ended?
