I think poster was actually sad considering the fact of him of not being able to watch many movies.
People take offense so easily these days. :lol:

I will take back my so called offense.
People also take offense to someone getting offended easily, these days. lol

Plot-wise, it sucks big time !!! but, comedy from sivakarthikeyan and sathish made it somewhat watchable.
Hansika Motwani continues to be a terrible actor even after so many movies. :/

LOL no, I wasn't bragging. Actually when I started watching English movies and I didn't have internet back then, I used to watch them on TV only. Then I came to know about the censoring stuff. Then after some time I got internet connection and started watching downloaded DVD rips (sizes ranged from 500MB–1.5GB). I was quite satisfied with them until I came to know about Blu-ray rips. So, I ditched DVD rips in favor of BD rips (sizes ranged from 1GB–4.5GB). That phase lasted for ~2yrs. In similar fashion, the sizes kept increasing day by day and now the movies I watch (High quality encodes/Remux), all range from 10GB–30GB each. But the problem is my slow internet connection. It takes me 4 days–14 days to download a single movie and I can't go back to those cr@ppy encodes I used to download earlier because now if there is a slightest hint of pixelation, noise, banding, aliasing and other blah blah stuff in a video, it turns me off. So yes, as [MENTION=77264]Vyom[/MENTION] said, I am a very sad guy. :cry:

I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to talk about all this stuff here, :oops: but that's my autobiography. :p

Movies more than 10 Gigs is a new level of OCD. I think Bluray which varies around 4 gigs is more than sufficient for home movie watching.
I hope you have the proper setup (a BIG ass screen and 7.1 Dolby digital surround sound) if you really watch more than 10 gigs encodes!

More than 10 GB !! wow, The max size I've seen is 3.5 GB.
I'm lucky and a little blind that I can't tell difference between 1080p & 720p rip on my TV from 12 feet.

No man, I don't have a BIG a$$ screen and 7.1 Dolby digital surround sound. :p Actually I watch movies on my paltry 20" monitor which has a native resolution of 1600*900 and my 2.1 speaker system. BUT believe me or not, I can easily tell the difference b/w the quality of a 4GB encode and a 10GB one even if I watch it on a 15" laptop screen and I don't even have to look for it, it comes naturally. And then it's not only about size either. Even a 10GB encode can be worse than a 4GB one or a 4GB encode can be better than a 10GB one. There are other factors like bitrate, compression method etc. that define the quality of an encode. Now I'll admit it beforehand that I have a very limited knowledge about these things. But when I see a video, I know the quality. And anyway, it's perfect quality is what I look for, sufficient is just not enough for me.

BTW about that OCD thing, I think you're somewhat correct. I might be suffering from some OCD of some sort but nobody has ever told me that.

You're not alone man. 90% of the people can't tell the difference. BTW resolution is always a secondary factor. A 720p encode can be better than a 1080p encode.

And that is the reason exactly why some "sources" are preferred where those factors are highly optimized thereby reducing the size of the file drastically while giving the same level of quality.

Anyway, I hate those people who watch movies on small screen or in low resolution only to complain that movie was bad. Atleast you appreciate the fact that movies are intended to be watched as director intends to be seen. Atleast your give respect to movies in this regard. :doublethumb:

Now you know. ;)

I watch movies on my monitor too, used to on my big arse TV but not any more, because of audio quality. I can't stand speaker systems, a complete headphone guy, and the audio output of the television is simply awful, even when it's connected to my amp. Damn :(

WTF is happening how that crap don (2006) got 7.2 ratings at imdb. All the actual & low rated reviews are shifted to back pages.The front 5-6 pages are filled with stupid ratings. Someone even gave it 10/10 don't know how. This is just stupid.
