FFVII Advent Children Leaked

FF7:AC Movie writes "Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children has been leaked on the Internet early this morning by a pirate group from Hong Kong known as BiEN (which incidentally means good in French). The Square-Enix film was due to release in Japan on September 14th 2005 after numerous delays. As for the North American release date, it has been pushed back to a cloudy end of November."

Bien means "well"
Bon means "good"

Ah well... Anyway, this is nothing new. I saw the Family Guy movie months ago. In fact, when I went to the IMDB to post about it, I noticed an exchange to the effect of the following:

Guy 1: Teh Family Guy movie is teh awesomes!!
Guy 2: Stupid fanboy, the movie isn't out yet. Don't review something you haven't even SEEN!
Guy 3: Umm.. The movie's been out on the net for several weeks, and we've ALL already seen it. stfu

Hell, a friend of mine's office is running a massive DVD piracy ring with their fancy new DVD duplicating machine (officially used to make demo DVDs for clients).

I don't need slashdot to tell me $movie was released early: I just assume all movies are, and I'm most usually right.

Now, what to do about this is another matter entirely...

FF Spirits Within

After watching Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within with total disappointment, I wonder if this next one is just more hype. Call me crazy but Hironobu Sakaguchi isn't known for variety. Expect the same party concept getting full power to save the universe from some evil being.

Sephaweenie? I think you're implying I think Sephiroth is OMGLOLZBESTCHARACTEREVA!!! No, no I don't think that. I didn't think the story was cool because they killed off Aeris. I thought it was interesting, but that wasn't the coolest thing they did. Just because I like FFVII doesn't make me a dullminded fanboy, and I'll thank you to use you flawed "Let me guess" sense less often. Btw, Return of Jafar is a great movie for its target audience which was kids who loved Aladdin. I know a lot of pre-teens who love the movie, and I find it painless to watch myself.

Well, no movie can ever truely be "just hype"

For example, I loved The Spirits Within and thought it was a great movie. I enjoyed it both on a technological level, and on a storyline/execution level (I liked it as a movie) You're obviously implying that TSW was just hype, but to some people, myself included, it was more than hype, it was a good movie.

Be careful with your choice of words; not everybody hates every movie that you do.

i tried it out with bits on wheels and only got an error message from the tracker. maybe some clients have compatibility issues, or it's slashdotted by now and only working for you because you already have direct connections to peers going on? oh, and what's up with that site that offers the torrent link? it looks like a pretty official site, or at least a site made by dedicated fans of the movie (or ff in general), but if it really is, why do they provide the link?

Re:Subtitles?

[Echnin]

Well, I bet it'll take max two days for a fansub group to release subs. Especially if they have the Japanese subs, which will help tremendously. Shit, I could do it if I wasn't so lazy. The subtitles thing, it's really true. When I was in Japan, I often found it easier to watch for example a Korean movie with Japanese subs than to watch a Japanese movie without any subs.

reviews

[Gogo0]

All the reviews from hardcore FFVII+ fans that I have seen have praised the movie.

All the reviews from casual people or FFVI- fans have been less than glowing. The FFVI people not liking it for a variety of reasons, and the casual people not understanding anything (supposedly no backstory is presented) and seeing the movie as mostly convoluted nonsense.

I thought it was fan service, not much more.

Rent before you buy (for those that still rent and buy movies).
