Oscar awards and what REAL viewers like
Hi there
I can usually tell the popularity (or otherwise) of a movie by how quick a non CAM version is "released" into the wild.
For example Gravity and 12 years a slave found their way into the wild at decent hi-res quality - but both movies aren't really that popular with the general public -- and there seems to be some "political correctness" stuff around preventing people saying they didn't actually like 12 years a slave or weren't interested in seeing it.
Now the movie "The Monuments men" seems to be far more popular - but so far still hasn't made it into the wild other than by a CAM version.
This post does NOT approve of using torrents for obtaining these movies -- I'm just stating my perceived observation that the most popular movies take a long time to appear in the wild in decent 720p / 1080p while relatively unpopular films at the box office get leaked quite quickly.
Cheers
