    Yeah it just aired a week or so ago. I admit to watching it using not exactly legal methods.. But I'll probably watch it again when it comes to Netflix anyways.

    DVD screeners have been getting leaked around Christmas for at least a couple years now. I guess there might be more this year, but I remember the same thing happening last year.

    I know this stuff happens but people have to be careful not to ruin any incentive people have for making good movies. If everything is free all we'll get is cable access shit. Well, Wayne's World was decent at least.

    It's shocking just how many "screeners" of big films have leaked this year. I'm really surprised that torrenting and all the streaming sites weren't shut down years ago.

    I doubt they'll ever get completely shut down. Sites have been shut down before, but then new ones pop up almost immediately.

    You're right, if it was that easy it would have been done by now. I think any country that joins the TPP or the European trade deal that is being worked on will be required to try.

    I used to torrent movies all the time, but then I started feeling sketch about it. I worried about the consequences of being caught even though I heard it's very rare down-loaders are actually prosecuted. I realized those feelings were driven by guilt because I knew what I was doing was wrong, and decided not to do that anymore.

    I've also streamed TV shows before. Not my fault that Cable providers wouldn't mind seeing their customers face down in a gutter. It's easier to steal the wallet off a dead body anyways...I wonder how often people have to fight with cable companies about the cancellation of a deceased relatives cable bill. I bet some people have ended up paying more than they should because its not worth it to them to deal with the BS.

    The conscience is a tricky thing, and I'm one hell of a hypocrite.

    I have no love for cable companies or satellite. Those bastards have ripped off more than enough people. They're going the way of polaroid cameras so whatever.

    I just don't want to put people off of creating good shows that we all enjoy. Dancing With the Stars can suck one for all I care but I guess it pays the bills.

    I couldn't see paying 120 a month to have access to 100 channels I never watched. I don't have that much free time.

    I also don't want to have to worry about stealing shows and the outrageous penalties I could face if they felt like it. So I just don't.

    I watched the first 5 Rocky movies on Netflix, outside of the fifth one they were all decent, and Creed sounds even better, so can't wait to see that.

    Jurassic World was also decent, certainly the best Jurassic Park sequel, not that that is a tall hill to climb though.

    Rocky Balboa (6) is actually pretty good as well. But Creed might be better than the original in my opinion.

    Not really a movie, but I am halfway through Netflix's Making A Murderer. It is so captivating.

    We binge watched episodes 1 through 5 last night. Went to bed at 1 am. It's so hard to work today. Desperately must know what happens.
