I'm definitly incredibly interested but it seems that the people in charge don't feel like letting me see it. So I think I'm gonna take matters into my own hands when I get home. <Insert evil laugh here>

But seriously I'm sick of this...helloooo torrents.

I'm not sure what exactly you want us to say. It's a movie a guy made for seven something grand. It's an indie science fiction do-it-yourself film. The story is such and such and such and such (copy and paste from whatever website you prefer).

Would you like our thoughts on it as a movie and a story? Because we have that. In podcast form.

It's a notable film of modern cinema. One we feel deserves some attention. If you value our judgment in these areas, then check it out. If not, *shrug*

See, that's basically what wanted from Teague in the original post. I'm not going to listen to the podcast without watching the movie first, and I'm not going to watch the movie unless someone can actually tell me 'it's a good movie that you should watch.' If you read the thread, you'll see that nobody actually bothered to say that. And a quick Google search that I did found no one that actually recommended it, either.

You've recorded commentaries for Transformers 2 and Surrogates. Also, all of your urging seems to be along the lines of "Support this because it's an indie film" not "go see this because it's good."

I love it when Teague reacts to something like he's trying to get poop off his hand.

I tried to buy this on iTunes (my first), but something went wrong and it didn't work. But before trying again, I looked at the reviews and checked elsewhere. Gareth Edwards says his budget was a lot more than the $15000 equipment costs being floated on the Tubes but "way less than $500,000." That's still a very impressive effects film.

Now, Edward Burns is saying he made Nice Guy Johnny for $25 grand, but it's not an effects film. However, a lot of reviews say the Monsters trailer is a major bait-and-switch regarding the eponymous effects.

So, meh. If I see it, it will be only on Down in Front's vaguely-implied recommendation. However, I've watched plenty of schlock made for less than half a million dollars in my time, and this has got to be better than most of that. Something Weird Video, anyone?

So you made assumptions about what I was asking rather than just spending thirty seconds answering a legitimate question that other people in this thread also had? Nice.

I Googled the film. Nothing I saw made me want to watch the film. So I thought I'd ask the people who are telling me I should watch it why they think so. But those people decided to insult me. Weird.

Such a weird way to run a website.

This is the first time you've done a movie that I've never even heard of before. I was hoping that when you finally posted the release thread, you'd include some sort of description or explanation of why the movie is worth checking out, if it was.

I didn't start out being uninterested, I started out just not knowing what it was. When I did a Google search to find out what it was, all I found was people saying it was mediocre at best.

So I continued to try to get from someone here a description of the movie or a recommendation that wasn't 'buy this movie to support indie movies.'

You pull my 'Nope, not interested' completely out of context to help your point. I wasn't uninterested because it was an indie movie, I was uninterested because the review I found (it has a 62 on Metacritic, including reviews such as "Wait a second, is this a horror movie or an episode of The Hills?") gave me the impression that the movie wasn't worth looking into. And yet, I still asked you guys for a recommendation, because I trust your judgement.

But as ShadowDuelist said:

I feel like this thread could have gone better, and it's my fault. Sorry everybody, sorry Greg.

Performance art, i love it. You tell em Greg, we're on your side. Hey, at least they didn't yell at you to shut up with a straight face for saying "this is the worst commentary ever " while they were waiting around during the live chat; and this shortly after they started taking donations based on your suggestion.
