japan should just have streaming service for all there shit already instead of always Licensing it to companies in every country. if they keep doing it this way then there just doing it too themselfs.

Being an Japanese only release for the Blu-ray. Will do that.

EDIT Why Japanese companies are so fucking stupid?

Can someone explain to me how this movie stand in the whole godzilla franchise?

Suppose I am a guy who only watched the original godzilla movies from 85

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Idk about the franchise but it's an excellent movie.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It's basically a remake/update of the original

Edit: not the American edit

I have been wanting to watch this since release but it isn't showing anywhere near me or streaming or available to purchase and ironically I haven't pirated because I figured everyone was in the same situation so good quality rips would be scarce. This movie is a spectacular example of all that is wrong with geographical distribution rights. I will probably still wait for a legit stream on this one because I want to send a positive signal if any service grabs the rights but I can't blame people for making other choices. Copyright is supposed to protect the rights holders so they can profit from their work but in cases like this it just stops them connecting with their audience and they get nothing, neither money or exposure. I don't think piracy is harming anyone in this situation.

Any copies of “the most pirated movie in the world” the dubbed version?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Someone mentioned the dubbed version might not be until November. I couldn't confirm it but I assume when ever it releases worldwide.

I went out of my way to see Minus One Minus Color.

Execs in shambles

[–] [email protected] 37 points 6 months ago

They were asking for it, since they didn't release it in theatres or in Blu-ray in many countries.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

I'm absolutely buying it when I can. So good.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 6 months ago (1 children)

IIRC this all came about because a different company has the rights to Godzilla in the US and that US distributor didn’t want -1.0 to cut into the sales of the new Godzilla Kong movie, which is all bullshit.

Oh that's really dumb

Maybe they should've rushed it instead of delaying it lol

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

b b b but legendary has to sell a shitty godzilla vs. kong that no one gives a shit about!~ wont you think of the cross-licensing confusion?!!?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'd buy it on Blu-ray tomorrow if I could. They won't shut up and take my money...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

Psst kid hey it's me the director

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 months ago

I love how the article right under this one tells you exactly how to pirate it lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Is the torrent in English or Japanese?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

English subs are included in the rips I've watched

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

From the article:

there’s still no easy (or legal) way to watch it with English subtitles, and there’s been no updates on when it’ll come to streaming or physical in the US or elsewhere

How can this be damaging if you ain't trying to sell it to us in the first place?
