SPIDEY DVD: Raimi & Dunst Commentary!

I already have my copy... by CleverMovieName	Jul 17th, 2002 03:58:33 AM
it's called a BOOTLEG! Thank you, cable modem!
Will Eliza be on the screen test with Tobey? by electroxb	Jul 17th, 2002 03:59:12 AM
yeah, that's all I want to know.
First? by Egheaumaen	Jul 17th, 2002 04:00:46 AM
So what about the helicopter-caught-in-a-web-sus pended-between-the-twin-towers trailer / deleted scene that was pulled from theaters and the internet after 9/11? Is that being held for the special-special edition?
Here's the real question... by BGW Claw	Jul 17th, 2002 04:12:21 AM
Will they have the balls to include the original teaser trailer, which featured the World Trade Center months before September 11th. I think they should include it, but probably will pussy out. Shameful if so. Anyone agree?
Why would you even wanna watch a movie on a computer? by DrCannibal	Jul 17th, 2002 04:27:14 AM
So you download it and then have to watch it on your tiny 15 or 17 inch monitor. How lame is that? Wouldn't you rather sacrifice a whole 25 bucks or however much it costs and watch it on a big tv? Plus, I doubt the quality is the same. I've never understood what was so good about watching stuff on tiny computer screens all by yourself.
DrCannibal - Because you can watch it on a tv by Krackbaby	Jul 17th, 2002 04:41:24 AM
DrCannibal: When people pirate a movie off the internet they often burn it in VCD (video-CD) format to a CD. Then they can place it in a VCD compatibly DVD player (which most DVD players are) and watch it on their TV. Your right that the quality will be lower than a DVD, but if you just want to be able to watch a film without going to the theater or paying for the video then it does the trick rather nicely. The fact that you're stealing the film by not paying for it I leave for others to discuss, but from a technical standpoint you can easily watch a downloaded movie on a big screen, and if you really know what your doing you can even do it with surround sound (in theory).
Is it true Kirsten Dunst taped the entire commentary track weari by Gellar's Ass	Jul 17th, 2002 04:50:05 AM
Bootlegs may be nice for their own sake, but there's no question a DVD produces better quality (although I have seen some damn good rips out there). Furthermore, you also get all the nice extras with a DVD.
Ultimately, the DVD is better... by CleverMovieName	Jul 17th, 2002 04:57:36 AM
I'll never deny that. But there is just something great about watching Episode II on MY TV at home for FREE the DAY AFTER it comes out. Now, movies like Ghost World, Buffalo '66 and Mulholland Drive? I pay the cash!
Gellar's Ass by CleverMovieName	Jul 17th, 2002 04:59:02 AM
If Kirsten did the commentary in JUST hot pants, then I'll bet people who HATED Spider-Man will buy this bad boy.
Why watch DVDs on a computer? Isn't it obvious? by filker-tom	Jul 17th, 2002 06:58:30 AM
There are two huge DISadvantages to watching DVDs on your computer: (1) yeah, you've only got so big a screen (although I got a sweet deal awhile back on a 19" monitor, and it's been doing just fine), and (2) most of the "DVD-ROM Special Features" are artificially dependent on a licensed, badly-programmed Internet Explorer hack variously called InterActual or PC Friendly, which is one of the sloppiest and most useless pieces of tripe I've ever seen. That having been said, I LOVE watching DVDs on my computer. I'm up close in my nice comfy chair, listening to my Dolby 5.1 Surround with my badass Creative Audigy card and Inspire 5300 speakers (a grandiose $200 upgrade I needed to make anyway), watching a razor-sharp picture that I can run full-screen OR as a window while I do other stuff (and how cool is that?), AND I can pause at any point and instantly capture the video to a file, no muss, no fuss, no external hardware. I have absolute control over the video quality, being able to adjust the resolution, color, etc., in ways that my TV simply doesn't allow, and I never lose the frickin' remote.

DVD by ph27	Jul 17th, 2002 08:33:27 AM
I'd get the bootleg if I had something better than a crap modem. But then I'd still definitely buy the DVD. The best way to watch DVD is on a plasma screen or a digital projector. Expensive but it's what I aspire to get. Can't decide weather to get the R1 or the R2 dvd. Better picture quality on R2 but longer wait probably.
Kirsten Dunst... by PriestYoungblood	Jul 17th, 2002 09:13:50 AM

Hredneck, I tried to email you on the Spidey question, but it di by Sabretooth1974	Jul 17th, 2002 09:42:11 AM
25 bucks is not much to pay for a loaded DVD. Appreciate it now before Blockbuster makes you wait through a year of rental availability only before you can buy a movie.
I don't deal cocaine by mjbok1	Jul 17th, 2002 09:45:22 AM
Though I am a republican (not the same thing) and I have a big screen TV. So Evil Reader, there goes that theory. Actually big-screens are pretty affordable now, and the good ones are not just 'regular TV's built bigger.' Regular television looks okay on my TV, but DVD's look awesome with a much better picture. And Evil Reader you can crack on Republican all you want, and you probably will have many valid points, but statistically most drug dealers are democrats.
"statistically most drug dealers are democrats." by PriestYoungblood	Jul 17th, 2002 09:48:25 AM
That's one of the weirdest comments I've ever seen posted. Who got THAT statistic - I didn't realize that many drug dealers voted. But being the drug-dealing pimp that I am, I guess I should know. What the fuck am I even talking about? I'm going back to bed.
Sam Raimi is one smooth pimp. by Cash Bailey	Jul 17th, 2002 10:08:18 AM
First he gets Katie Holmes to show her goodies in THE GIFT, then he gets the notoriously prudish Kirsten Dunst to show her yummy nipples in SPIDEY. How does he do it?
Yahoo! by Zarles	Jul 17th, 2002 10:22:20 AM
Can't wait for this... I heard one of the Easter Eggs is a long, slow close-up shot of Kirsten Dunst eating a pink popsicle. :)Personally, I think that watching downloaded movies is a waste of time. The quality is crap, the sound is crap, people talk and make noise throughout it, (the only thing I can't stand about going to the movies) so why bother? I'll shell out the dough, either at a store or somewhere like ebay.com or half.com, where I can get a decent deal...
I don't think I'll bother! by BadAssLoki	Jul 17th, 2002 10:24:21 AM
The film was the most over hyped thing in existence. I won't bother buying the DVD let alone getting a bootleg off it. Talking of bootlegs.... I too can't see the point in them.... why people would prefer to download a film and watch it on the computer rather than spend the money and go to the cinema or buy a decent DVD copy of it is beyond me. Maybe these people are just too scared to leave the safety of their computer and get out of the house. I think that the people who get the bootlegs are just cheapskates.
bootlegs by jsp2000	Jul 17th, 2002 10:27:34 AM
Well, the quality of your bootleg depends on the source. There's a bootleg out there that is a rip of a screener DVD of Spiderman. That's a damn good bootleg. On the other hand, some of the bootlegs you will see are pretty crappy. It's all the source that they come from. As a general rule, if it is released from Centropy, it is a pretty good bootleg. I think most people download these bootlegs as something to have until the official DVD is released. When I get a bootleg, that's what I do. I have a really good Boot of AOTC, but that thing goes into the trash as soon as my DVD arrives...and I've already preordered it.
WOW! by The Riot	Jul 17th, 2002 10:29:08 AM
You sure are cool, wendigofett! Ask your daddy if he'll buy me a home theater system!
psy27 by Toby O Notoby	Jul 17th, 2002 10:40:25 AM
Best bet? Get a R2 that's hacked for R1. Best of both worlds. You get your R1 discs a few months before they come out in the UK and can get R2 TV shows (Buffy, Angel, the Office, etc.) I live in Asia and I live by mine. You'll need a multi-system TV, but apparently they're not that hard to find in England.
Well, a small mind is a tidy mind by WeedyMcSmokey	Jul 17th, 2002 11:08:10 AM
WTF - What is with small minded America? why are you either a Republican or a Democrat? If your not one your the other - simple-minded and absolutely guaranteed to affect no change in your present dinosaur of a political system. Do you have any idea what these terms mean - Their origins or historical significance? Or even what the difference (if any) is between them? You fucks have been bought and sold - and all you got was the security of mind that comes with being pigeon-holed. BTW - What is with the Canadian content on this disc - That fucking Hero sond should be evidence enough that Chad Kroeger and those Nippleback morons are the modern-day Spinal Tap. Oh, and that Sum41 band - fun, yes, but about as punk rock as Pepsi.
DVD on a Computer by Knobules	Jul 17th, 2002 11:13:06 AM
It has some advantages, If Im stuck in an airport for hours on end its great to put on headphones and watch a movie. Drowns out all the godam screaming babies. Oh, unless I get a call from Ron Howard, that always takes priority, right Harry?

Re; Bootlegs by denmonx	Jul 17th, 2002 11:48:40 AM
Well I also have the bootleg Spider-Man VCD. The quality is ok for a cam version. However, I saw the film 4 times in the theater, and will be buying the DVD the DAY it comes out. Yep, fanboy here. I don't think bootlegs took any money from this movie. The quality is crap, and the sound is muffled. But I do love getting them. It's nice to see the movie in the theater, and if the movie is good, I'll pay to see it in the theater more than once...gladly. But after it's out of the theater and until it comes out on DVD, it's really sweet to have a copy you can view if you really wanna see it again. :)
Oh, cool! by Halloween68	Jul 17th, 2002 12:22:35 PM
Although I could've done without the music videos for those crappy mtv bands. Does "Hero" remind anybody else of that Seal song from the Batman Returns soundtrack? A much better song done by a much more talented artist. Also, although Dunst is hotter than all getout, she has all the brains of the lump in my shorts. Why the hell is she doin' commentary? She'll probably giggle and talk about malibu barbie throughout. And as softspoken as Sam Raimi is, we'll probably hear like two words from him. The rest of the DVD looks brilliant. The PC Activision game DVD Rom supplement is a nice touch too.
Comuter movies. by THE WALLACE	Jul 17th, 2002 12:27:26 PM
With the exception of LOTR, every movie I've been given looks like ASS. If you think watching those on your computer looks better than VHS You are cracked. It looks like shit... I can hardly stand it.
durhey - by mbeemer	Jul 17th, 2002 12:34:36 PM
"you'd think criminals would make a point to vote for candidates who are the least "tough on crime." Just in case they someday get caught." Nah, drug-dealers were the criminals in question - they're more likely to vote for candidates that will keep their goods illegal so they can keep making massive profits on the black market.

Crazy/Beautiful by YourOlympicHero	Jul 17th, 2002 02:07:00 PM
There's a shot in this movie where's she on her bed and you can see a lot of her breasts up her shirt. Since I'm the only person who saw it, I thought I'd share the info. And doesn't everyone know that the "Hero" song was written about me? Oh, it's true...it's true.
Melons or Cucumbers? by Son Of Batboy	Jul 17th, 2002 02:26:16 PM
Anyone see her on SNL? Tell me those things didn't look sad. Definitely not the picture perfect orbs we were led to believe. They were hangin' down to her navel. The boobs of someone twice her age. That dress didn't look tight either. Without the aid of Hollywood magic or a firm push up bra those things are slappin' against her knees. No wonder Tobey dumped her, not to mention that bubble headed voice of hers. So Kirsten, prove us wrong and show us the goods. As far as this DVD goes, I refuse to own anything featuring the flash in the pan, "Where are they now?" music of Chad Kroeger or Sum 41.
Bootlegs and Dunst by Billy Talent	Jul 17th, 2002 03:42:51 PM
I've got a bunch of Kazaa bootlegs - Spider-Man, Frailty, AotC, Minority Report, and a high quality screener of LotR. Their fun. I like watching movies at home. There was no way I was going to pay for 'Scooby-Doo', but I was reasonably content to watch it on Kazaa. It's also good for some harder to find titles like 'Battle Royale'. Now onto Kirsten Dunst - she seems like a very nice person and I'd way rather hang out with her than any of the bashers on here. Come on, she's nicely balancing flicks like 'Spider-Man' and 'The Cat's Meow'. Just because she's pretty and she's cheerful and charming and funny doesn't make her an idiot. She's a comedienne first, and if you've seen 'The Virgin Suicides' or 'Crazy/Beautiful' or 'The Cat's Meow', you know that she's also an excellent dramatic actress. Hell, she blew all the 'SNL' regulars out of the water when she guested, and she was the only bearable aspect of 'Drop Dead Gorgeous' and 'The Crow - Salvation'. Now I know that this is a boys club, and a lot of you guys resent the hell out of women. However it's ugly and it's pathetic. Like the song says, 'Get your shit together, and join the human race.'
re: filker-tom by stuftseveredhead	Jul 17th, 2002 04:21:13 PM
Is it just me or after reading filker-tom's long post about why he would prefer to watch movies on a computer, does he sound like the biggest geek in the world? and coming from another geek that reads this website that's just sad. Not only does he bother to talk about how cool it is to watch movies on his computer, he has to name all the different components that make it so special for him. my personal favorite is "I can watch it in any size window and do my other work while I watch" filker, movies are meant to be watched, not to play in the background. You are depriving yourself of what makes the movie experience so special. and you are a geek. You are just sad.
the actual MOVIE is on there right.... by slvrlakesiren	Jul 17th, 2002 05:02:39 PM
no mention of the actual film being on the DVD but I'm assuming it's there. ?
spider-man and divx by eo766	Jul 17th, 2002 07:36:45 PM
you can get decent divx. Right now i have 688mb file on dialup off of kdx (with no audience or japanese subtitles the image is pretty good too but isn't near dvd quality).Right now my local theater isnt playing spider-man but i went to see it twice in theaters( a rarity for me).If you are demented enough to download a movie for hours at a time i see no problem because a fan like that will buy the dvd anyway(broadband is an exception.

Laura Whateverhernameis by Mumford Jr.	Jul 18th, 2002 02:59:02 AM
Laura Ziskin or something.. I believe is probably responsible for that Dunst commentary. I like Kirsten Dunst, but I'd be out of my head to prefer the commentary of the bring it on chick to the guy from The Cider House Rules. I know she likes comic book movies--thus her role in The Crow: Salvation, but jeez... "So in this scene the teamsters always made sure that my shirt was nice and wet.. and that I had the proper amount of cleavage.. They're the same team that worked with me in "Bring it on" and "Crazy Beautiful"
More Evil Dead? by Demon Disco	Jul 18th, 2002 03:44:31 AM
What with the prepping already underway on Spidey 2 and Raimi's involvement with 30 Days of Night, is there any hope in hell that we'll get to see Ash slaying more deadite butt one last time??
Geek? Sad? Half-Right by filker-tom	Jul 18th, 2002 08:27:12 AM
I probably shouldn't respond to stuftseveredhead's comment that I seem to him (or her) to be "the world's biggest geek" and "sad" because I mentioned that I really like watching movies on my computer, and that one of the reasons was the flexibility in my viewing options. I think the kicker was that he said I had a "long" post, in a post nearly as long as mine. ;-) Now, understand that I'm not at all steamed, just bemused. See, I hardly ever turn my darn TV on anymore. I do, on the other hand, spend a lot of time at my computer. And sometimes, for instance, I'm watching a movie while also downloading something, or I get an instant message. It's nice to be able to PAUSE the movie and then get right back to it, or to have access to the controls of the one while watching the other. Geekish? Oh yeah. Sad? Somehow I don't think so. This is not an era when the audience sits reverently at the altar of Big Screen Entertainment. If you want a full movie experience -- if I want a full movie experience, and I certainly go to enough movies -- there's a multiplex down the street. Heck, out here in Ann Arbor, we've got the Michigan Theater, one of the great old movie houses, fully restored and complete with monster pipe organ. There's showing the restored version of Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS later this fall, and I'll be there. But sometimes I just wanna slap the disk in the drive. The point is, this is the ABSOLUTE first criticism I have heard of what is a fairly popular technology, and of some of its major selling points. Creative SELLS their audio cards and speakers for multimedia. ATI and NVidia and all the DVD drive manufacturers and media player programmers SELL their stuff for multimedia. Do those folks with DVD drives in their laptops -- or the ones with portable DVD players featuring screens smaller than a postcard -- deserve scorn because they're not solemnly ensconsed in The Theatre, or because they might want their computer to do something else at the same time? Atsa big no. Finally, I believe that initial bugaboo has been laid to rest -- THIS, my friend, is a long post. Best, Tom Smith - The World's Fastest Filker (www.tomsmithonline.com)
Personally, I never liked them using "Hero" for the end credits by Terry_1978	Jul 18th, 2002 09:17:54 AM
Would have preferred Boxcar Racer's, "I Feel So....". The lyrics make much more sense in the Spidey world.
filker-tom by PriestYoungblood	Jul 18th, 2002 09:53:07 AM
I don't know why you even responded - being called a geek on this site is a pretty lame insult, since most of us have already accepted that title. That aside, I'm ordering this DVD right now. Yee ha.
You know... by Zarles	Jul 18th, 2002 10:25:50 AM
...it really must be nice to have already heard, in its entirety, the Kirsten Dunst commentary. And months before it's publicly available, even. Really, I applaud and am unfathomably jealous of all you negative, mean-spirited fucks who have obviously already heard it! Really, I do! Oh, and Tom-Filker, feel free to invite me over for a movie anytime. Fuck these jealous assholes, fuck them up their stupid asses...
Weedy McSmokey by patient37	Jul 18th, 2002 10:57:00 AM
The political parties of today really have nothing to do with those of say, a hundred years ago or prior. They've just retained the names, really. The middle-road gets you fucking nowhere in politics. It's necessary to choose a side these days, unless you want to be apart of some teensy little third party that comes up with good ideas, yet lacks the clout to get any of them done, and attempts to make them popular enough to get picked up by a large party. Apologies if we small-minded Americans offend you, Mr. Fucking International, but that's how our political system works.
The only reason these people watch bootlegs by St.Buggering	Jul 18th, 2002 05:30:01 PM
is the thrill of the illusion that they are somehow sticking it to the man. I brings an ersatz sense of personal power to their dull little lives. Any arguments about comparable quality are predetermined; you simply cannot beat the quality of DVD on a big screen. I've seen pirates on a computer screen, and they're uniformly horrible...borderline unwatchable, if you're used to the good stuff. So you guys just keep subjecting yourselves to shitty viewings of these films, and revel in your paltry personal power. I'll spend the 20 bucks at buy.com, and watch it on my Dolby Digital system in the livingroom.
