TheAuteurs currently has over 44pg (with 20 films each?) so I wondered which 10 films were the first to be added to their database… you know, just for trivia purposes xD
Interesting to see 4 films from the 70s, 2 from the 60s… followed by one of the 50s, 40s, 80s and 90s. Then, it’s also 4 films by Stanley Kubrick, 2 by Francis Ford Coppola, and the films by Orson Welles, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, and Akira Kurosawa.
Every other time, TheAuteurs.com shows some of their films for free. You only need an account there to watch the films, and you can even login with your Facebook account.
Since I joined, these films were added and restored:
Yes, yet another downloads, distribution and torrents post. Why? Because it is important to discuss this issue as many many cases of people who download are brought to court.
It is important to point out the different types of uploaders/downloaders. First, the uploaders — there are those who upload to share and spread their interest so they find someone they can share a common interest with. Someone to talk to about this piece. However, they are often confused with the people who upload to get hits and possibly ad revenue… meaning, making a profit.
This is why so many fansubbing groups are against streaming, many streamers (unless they are authorized) upload videos that don’t belong to them (they don’t even sub stuff themselves!), since streaming is easier than download they get more hits and become more popular from other people’s work.
Viz Cinema (Pictures, etc etc) is the answer to J-Film fans in the US, Canada… and well, pretty much the whole continent. These coming weeks, besides showcasing 20th Century Boys 2, and Gurren Lagann, Viz will be screening two of Isshin Inudo’s films. The first one being Josee, the Tiger, and the Fish — on my bday xD — and La Maison de Himiko.
Josee counts with the presence of Juri Ueno in a small role ;P alongside Satoshi Tsumabuki, and Chizuru Ikewaki. While Himiko stars Joe Odagiri and Kou Shibasaki.
more info about the screenings over at Nippon Cinema.
But it’s a sad day as Disney (who bought them for only $70M) has decided to shut down Miramax.
Yes, that same Disney that keeps feeding us with ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, cancels Pushing Daisies… and gave us Miley Cyrus to rot the minds of our younger generation.
Miramax gave us The Piano, Reservoir Dogs, The English Patient, Shakespeare in Love, Chicago, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Clerks, Doubt, There Will Be Blood, Gone Baby Gone, Happy-Go-Lucky, Le Scaphandre et le Papillon, No Country for Old Men, Kinky Boots, Finding Neverland… just to name a few.
