[QUOTE=Warship;45873491]Well I don't think it makes a difference what kind of movie it is. I'm just a video snob, I don't like watching downscaled stuff. (Especially not when I paid for it)[/QUOTE] If you think 720p is bad, you should take a trip to Turkey [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3l72gxO2l2E[/media]
[QUOTE=JohnFisher89;45873555]You bought a B movie that had a budget of 320K, if you didn't realize this was a B movie and may not be as fancy as other movies. I really have no idea how you have anyone to blame but yourself. That's like buying an eco friendly car, then complaining about "it's not as fast as a sports car".[/QUOTE] I don't see how you can defend the lack of 1080P footage when he's stated that it was shot in 4K. I hope James uploads the 1080P version but I feel that the launch of the movie was a bit rushed. I mean it was only like two days ago that they revealed the movie was going to be sold on Vimeo On Demand.

Just after the screenings.
[QUOTE=rosthouse;45873609]I think he already mentioned in june or july that he'd release the movie online in september though.

I'll be surprised if there isn't the option to download a 1080P version in the future through Vimeo.

You know what, I'm A) surprised people complain about the video and not the sound quality and B) they don't actually talk about the movie itself :v:
[QUOTE=meppers;45872851]HD movies are around 10-13gb[/QUOTE] It depends. A lot of HD content/movies render at 1080p but they use a low bitrate to keep the file size down.
Awesome! I shall rent this tonight.
[QUOTE=meppers;45872851]HD movies are around 10-13gb[/QUOTE] Blu-Rays tend to run up to 3~ gigs, I've got more than enough bluray films on my pc (that i have bought physically, i just like having them on my computer for when i visit people and it's just more convenient then finding the disk in my collection, so no warez). HD rips of HDDVDs run up to a gig at MOST
I tried renting it but it's not showing up on my library, and then I ended up renting it twice and getting charged twice. Contacting Vimeo about this now. [URL="http://i.imgur.com/3200FkJ.png"]Seems like I'm not the only one whose experiencing problems.[/URL] Buyers beware right now, I think they're having issues and that's why the announcement is unlisted.
Also, the soundtrack is goddam amazing: [url]http://open.spotify.com/album/1y6ESFRiIKLTyPxCyXHG5k[/url] [url]https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/angry-video-game-nerd-movie/id912526380[/url] The theme and Maverick Regeneration especially.
A lot of people have been saying that guitar guy and Mike were supposed to be the characters but were replaced due to "diversity". If so, what a shame because they had documented chemistry. The new guy and the girl don't, at all. [t]http://i.imgur.com/yURrogO.png[/t]

The movie sucks balls in my opinion. Rent / buy it for James though.
It's not very good. It also has this weird ego trip feel to it that weirds me out.
i made a vimeo account just to buy this hope its worth it. (it probably is)
[QUOTE=MaddaCheeb;45873722]It depends. A lot of HD content/movies render at 1080p but they use a low bitrate to keep the file size down.[/QUOTE] Not if you're talking about blu-rays though, they are typically at a ~15Mbps bitrate (if not more).

Mike and that other dude aren't actors, so that is probably the one and only reason that they don't have any big role in the film.

[QUOTE=No Party Hats;45873795]Blu-Rays tend to run up to 3~ gigs, I've got more than enough bluray films on my pc (that i have bought physically, i just like having them on my computer for when i visit people and it's just more convenient then finding the disk in my collection, so no warez). HD rips of HDDVDs run up to a gig at MOST[/QUOTE] But the point still remains that BD is simply not that small. Either they are shit digital versions on the disc for mobile use or a rip you got off a torrent. BD's run between 15-and sometimes up to 40mbps on the disc itself depending on the film and the mastering company.
I enjoyed the movie, it was fun and he used what he had available well. There weren't any scenes that stood out as overly funny but overall it was good if you're a fan of the series.

Diversity my ass.[/QUOTE] I didn't like the girl but Cooper (the black guy) did his role well. The girl wasn't really that special but I have no complaints about Cooper. Also the movie takes place in the "AVGN universe" so I don't know how Guitar guy would fit in.
[QUOTE=ashxu;45878671]Also the movie takes place in the "AVGN universe" so I don't know how Guitar guy would fit in.[/QUOTE] I think they could at least have him appear behind the couch or something, but maybe they actually thought of that but it wasn't practical or whatever.
Just got done watching it if your a AVGN fan you'll love it, if your not one you'll be cringing. Also [sp]The TMNT 3 refrence was godlike[/sp]

At least make an effort to not look like you're holding back a laugh when you're suppose to be frightened.

It amazes me that both the AVGN and Ashen both can get movies out that are OK, but Doug Walker over at TGWTG couldn't put a movie together to save his life.

no idea what TGWTG is like but you need to keep in mind James' passion is movies and making them, he's made amateur flicks for College before I think and he's a big movie buff and has read a lot of books on it.
Aw shit I'm hyped, I gotta grab this soon!
