Psst! Eight Bits Gets You "The Two Towers" In China

rocodipoco writes "CNN reports on this article about DVDs of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" were available in Shanghai two weeks ago for about $1 a pop, according to one Western film industry executive who visited that city. The film opens in North America on December 18. Interviewed at the CineAsia movie convention, the executive said as many as 40 street vendors were openly offering DVDs outside a Shanghai mall; he declined their offers, and thus can't verify the quality of the counterfeit copies. I personally want to wait for the movie to hit the big screen...it's all about the suspense. What do others think?"

    Or watch it on your computer screen.... 21 inches, panoramic, resolution thats equal to a movie screen. If you think about it, a 21 or even a 17 inch screen is way better than a TV anyway, since your sitting much closer.... and I can't stop cheering about the resolution! Who need a TV and DVD player when you've got a computer!

    No this isn't flamebait.... I'm entirely serious. I have my FOTR divX, do you?
