    Sometimes it's so funny to hear the arguments here in the US over so-called right wingers and leftists...because their differences are so tiny (that doesn't mean they're unimportant) compared to the full spectrum of world politics.

    the reason Nazism/Fascism is placed on the right side of the political spectrum is because it is reactionary. meaning that it tries to take a nation back to glory days...avoiding change and rekindling the spirit of past greatness....ie)Mussolini - Roman Empire... Hitler - Fredrich the great... and even German union 1871

    ah, good point JB. That's the perfect word -- "glory days".....that's exactly what they tried to recapture. It's unfortunate they became blinded and Hitler came up with such wild notions.

    If you can't get to the legs, you probably won't reach the bootie.

    Chew on that for awhile, [face_laugh]

    Sorry if this has been posted.

    An excerpt from Associated Press:

    Lucasfilm Ltd., which produced the movie, said it was submitting the piracy report to the Motion Picture Association of America for an investigation. If the trade organization identifies whoever is responsible, the company plans to prosecute, Lucasfilm spokeswoman Jeanne Cole said.

    "It's an extremely serious threat," said Jean Murrell Adams, head of the litigation department at DreamWorks SKG. "I'm not surprised that it's on the Internet. I talk to pirates because I want to find out why they're doing this. And what I've been told is that they were eagerly anticipating who would be first to do this. It's a challenge for them."

    When the phrase first came into use in the post World War, it was sort of a generalized deragatory term to characterize someone as being against the freedoms of the Allied Powers. Most people lumped Communists and Nazi's into one group of enemies. That's why that phrase came into use, and when it's used today, it's really just a throw back to a different time (about 50 years ago) and not meant to comment on the other persons social-political beliefs.

    Woah, jasman. I agree with you on the bootlegs....but your way of conveying TFN don't want bootlegs on the site is....a little NAZIish to say the least. Someone will get banned simply for ASKING for a bootleg? Wow...I mean wow.

    Boromir, if TFN allowed people to post links here, they would be considered responsible for it.
    It's not NAZIish (I hate this word), it's good forum administration.

    If anyone wants a link, and they are not too lazy to spend 5 minutes on the web, they can find it.

    Why they would do it? Frankly I don't know nor do I understand it.

    Waiting for three years and then watching a crappy version of it less than a week before its theatrical release is simply stupid, IMHO.

    I tend to agree with you boromir, but you could make the same argument about going into it spoiled. Now that I have a copy sitting on my HD, I know for sure that I'm going into episode 3 completely unspoiled. If I didn't already know everything about the movie already I wouldn't consider watching it at all, but I know I'm going to have a difficult time waiting until wednesday.

    I'm going unspoiled all the way for ep3.

    ehmmm...

    As I wrote before in another thread, I was totally spoiled for Episode I, because here in Italy it opened 4 months after the US release, so it was pretty difficult not to know everything about it.

    I'm not 100% spoiled for Episode II, and I'm sure I'll try to stay spoiler free for Episode III.

    Anyway, there's a big difference between watching a crappy bootleg version and reading spoilers for two years.
    Can spoilers ruin a movie? Maybe, but even if you read the whole script and download every picture from the web, it's still very different from watching the whole movie.

    My biggest thing is curiousosity.

    I put in a general search and it took me 1.5 hours and still came up with nothing.

    My wife doesn't believe a bootleg of Ep.2 exists out there right now.

    She knows that it was filmed digitally and it was supposed to be pirate proof.

    You know you cannot win with women!!!!!!!!

    TFN isn't being "naziish". If they were naziish, they would just randomly ban users based on religion or nationality, whether or not they did anything to deserve it. Either that, or they would only let certain religions or nationalities have discussions about bootlegs.

    Don't forget the pain and suffering that the real Nazis caused. I don't think TFN is doing anything even remotely close to that.
