Do you watch using a VPN? I'm in a temporary apartment right now and my new house should be done in a few weeks, but I haven't bothered to use a vpn in my apartment since it's open wifi. Probably dumb of me.
What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

I used to always use a VPN for Kodi but I have stopped. For things like Torrents you can get in trouble for downloading them. I have not seen or heard of anyone getting in trouble for streaming something. The responsibility falls on the person putting the stream online not someone for watching it. I use a VPN for other stuff though. I am also on Google internet and they dont seem to bother people about this type of stuff, since its usually your internet provider that is the one to warn people to stop.

From my understanding, isn't streaming the same as downloading to a certain degree?
My understanding (which could be wrong) is that you don't take possession of it so it's very difficult to prosecute someone for streaming something even if it's illegal. The person who is broadcasting it can get in trouble but not the person watching it. But when something is downloaded you have possession of it and can get in trouble legally.

I loved this. It reminded me of Tron Legacy but with a more compelling/engaging story. It takes the original and elevates it to a new level. Despite it's long running time I was pretty much engaged through the whole thing though I must admit you have to be in a certain mood to sit through it because there are scenes that carry on. I didn't mind because it was beautiful to look at. It's one of those movies where you watch it and say yeah I could see that existing in the future. From a technical level it is really impressive, would be a crime if it didn't take home awards for that alone.

I've read Dick's novel, watched Blade Runner (every version) easily a dozen times combined, written papers on it, and I have to say BR2049 is incredible.

The Disaster Artist is great. Probably the most inspirational movie I've seen in a while.

Favorite movies of the year that I've seen:
1. Good Time
2. Three Billboards in Ebbing, Missouri
3. Ladybird
4. Blade Runner 2049
5. The Killing of a Sacred Deer
6. Logan
7. Last Jedi
8. Dunkirk
Overall very good year for movies. Good Time is a masterpiece, and Three Billboards is a really special, if flawed movie. Still need to see Phantom Thread, when it opens wide, and The Shape of Water.

Good Time's been getting rave reviews but I dunno, the plot just seemed too contrived for me? It seems like they wanted it to be a serious movie but the plot just seemed too out of this world, kinda like a semi-serious version of Superbad or The Hangover?
Haven't seen 3 Billboards or Ladybird so can't really comment on those. Will watch them shortly.
Blade Runner - visually stunning but just lacked that 'heart' for me. I'm scratching my head trying to think of a real 'moment'.
Killing of a Sacred Deer - started out promising but again, ultimately it just seemed too unbelievable to take seriously? 'A Serious Man' had a similar theme but was executed much better IMO.
Logan was solid but pretty forgettable if I'm being completely honest.
The Last Jedi - again the first 1/3 really bored me but made it up for it with the final 2/3. Trying to find a love interest for Finn was laborious.
Dunkirk on IMAX was FANTASTIC. I would watch it again on a heart beat. Can't imagine it'll be all that good on a TV though.

See ‘bove.
Blade Runner - Replicants seem souless? That's absolutely not the point. The point is they are so human like you can't tell whether they're human or not ala Harrison Ford in the original.
Good Time - go see it before commenting.
Last Jedi - Have you even seen this?
Sacred Deer - again, go see it before commenting.
Bro, why do you insist on commenting on a comment about a movie you haven't even seen?
