This is another one of those threads that I read and then don't have anything to add to the conversation except just a general fucking shock that it has reached 3 pages.
DO. NOT. FUCKING. PIRATE. MOVIES.
This is CHUD.COM and, while I don't post here often, I fucking read most every thread and the sensible and like-minded people are the reason I do that. I think there's a lot of legitimate and smart people here posting good commentary and having good discussions.
If you're pirating movies you are not. You are neither sensible or like-minded and I'd just as soon not read your fucking nonsense.

So would I.
Not that I, yet, have anything to add to the disccussion (I'm working on it), but there are people here I'd like to see post about old, rare, obscure, classic, great, [insert whatever makes you dance] movies I've never seen. One of the things I love about certain internet nerds (and I use the term honestly and respectually) is that they are great at being enthusiastic about something I've never seen or heard of.
I'd go on about how following some movie geeks on twitter has turned me onto greatness the last 6 months, but that's for another thread and derails my point.

And I agree wholeheartedly. I'd actually love if the main page ran more discussion of old/rare/classic movies, getting people psyched about them. One of the best things on CHUD is the lists, and not because they are "lists." Rather because they are serious and thoughtful and absolutely want you to go and SEE SHIT right now. It's raw, unfettered, contagious enthusiasm for things and I can't think of a better reason why I read these board than that. I'd love to see more of it become a regular feature -- "CHUD SHOVES WONDERFUL SHIT DOWN YOUR THROAT AND YOU'RE GONNA FUCKING LIKE IT OR ELSE WE'LL FEED YOU TO THE GOD DAMNED GOBLINS," or something.
Trying to avoid an epic board meltdown (is the vodka showing?), that said (again):
FUCK YOUR PIRATED MOVIES.
