Remember the days before streaming services were a thing? Yep, basically that: as in people would burrow a rented copy from a friend who paid money to obtain a official copy on DVD from blockbuster then ripping the contents into those blank DVDs (the white ones) meaning they’ve pirated a copy for home use but it’s still a “torrent”. I remember watching a ripped copy of Finding Nemo (or other kids movies from that era) when I was younger.
The same with “lending” a purchased copy from a store a friend has proceeding to rip the DVD content onto a blank DVD having a copy. Then there are CAM’s (pirates using a video camera to record the film upon being shown in theaters) usually they do this around the debut (new releases in cinema) by sneaking a camcorder but the footage is shit (I remember back in 2010, I’ve seen Alice in Wonderland via CAM and it sucked due to bad resolution and audio).
It’s a bit of a try hard meme film tbh, you’re not missing anything.
Yeah, watch Salo instead! It’s got all the fucked-upness but is actually a good movie.
Honorable mentions to August Underground movies, not good movies even if you like fucked up shit but they’re certainly fucked up!
Idk man, it definitely made me sick to my stomach multiple times, I heard it was bad before but no one told me the details on why and definitely disturbed me, I think I was in my late teens early twenties when I saw it.
I could see that. I’d been thoroughly prepped on the movie and went in with a pretty cynical, “this was made to ‘shock’ people and is all fake” mindset which definitely colored my interpretation of it.
