21·20 days agoThe use of Limewire in this context seems to be more of an interesting news novelty.
That being said, in any democratic leaning country that truly values freedom (in the real sense, not the polemical American sense), the distribution of such media would not be an issue and you wouldn’t have to resort to Limewire, a torrent would suffice or even another broadcast TV network would air with violation of copyright.

8·27 days agoPretty slow move. 2029 is nearly 25 years since YT founding (and streaming existed around ~10 years before that; remember RealPlayer?).

3·27 days agoRe-watched The Usual Suspects, the initial setup with five criminals getting connected during a police crackdown is compelling (it turns out the movie was developed based on the initial scene in the poster with the line up). The acting is also strong with Gabriel Byrne, Benicio Del Toro and even Stephen Baldwin doing a great job. Chazz Palminteri plays to his typecast, but it works well.
I also personally appreciate the 90s cinematography, scene design and the score.
I have to say the main hook and ending seem very contrived (much more so when I first watched the movie in the early 2000s). It does not seem convincing, well connected criminals usually have state backing rather than being a “ghost”. And a senior criminal would not directly involve themselves in an assassination attempt or risk third parties acting in an independent manner. The behaviour of the police was also unconvincing.
Spacey’s presence also taints the movie in a way that it did not on the initial viewing.
That being said, it’s a solid 6/10 action packed, crime thriller. You could do a lot worse.
You can stream popular torrents. It can be challenging with more niche content (unless you’re on private trackers), but you’re not going to find niche content streams in the first place.
It’s still somewhat big in certain regions, even younger people torrent (although streaming piracy is more popular).




Sounds like a bad fit, even though I only want to share (it’s some relatively rare content that took me some effort to procure in the highest quality that I believe is available).
