What's so good about PassThePopcorn, Cinemageddon, Karagarga, GOEM & TEHConnection?

[Frankthetank1]

I keep hearing these are the best trackers for movies but all the have is old movies. Mostly old foreign movies. I love movies but aren't the best movies from Hollywood? Why would you want a tracker that doesn't have the latest movies from Hollywood? I have been on some of these trackers and literally could not find one decent movie to download. Maybe I am missing something, if so please help inform me. I guess the people who like these trackers prefer old movies to new...

[ca_aok]

PTP, Goem, and TC all have the latest movies, you're definitely missing something or failing at searching. Out of those options, PTP would have the biggest selection.

As for Karagarga and Cinemageddon... their entire existence is based around those older movies. So obviously they'd be a poor choice.

[IdolEyes787]

Name some "good" movies(no really).

Also movies are like music ,tastes tend to vary and what you like is often determined by factors other than actual merit.

Me for instance I like happy endings and anything mjmacky hates.

[Frankthetank1]

recent movies i watched that I though were good are Hesher, super 8 (decent), source code (decent), 5 days of war. These movies were worth watching but no were near my top favorites. Can you please name some movies on one those trackers that are "good" movies.

Every single one of those movies was on PTP btw.

IdolEyes tends to like Jim Belushi movies. Only in HD, of course.

[Frankthetank1]

I have not ever been on ptp or theconnection but heard they are simlar to Cinemageddon, Karagarga, & GOEM. I can see how he could like John Belushi, but Jim kinda sucks. John being dead for 30 years i bet all his movies would be on these trackers.

Thanks.

Looking at your list 5 days of war I've never seen.Renny Harlan kind of a shite director but his A Long Kiss Goodbye isn't too bad except maybe for the end. Other movies in a similar vein to 5 Days of War (maybe not having seen it ) of quality are The Year of Living Dangerously (interesting because the woman from NCIS Los Angeles- Linda Hunt won an Oscar for playing a man in it) and Salvador with James Woods(really good movie -Oliver Stone's first big splash in my mind better than Platoon which followed) which brings me to The Killing Fields which is the best of the lot|

Source Code try Nick of Time with a young(ish) Johnny Depp .No time travel but some stylish direction by the always interesting John Badham using the 24 formula of real time but predating that show by almost a decade.
There's also Deja Vu with Denzel Washington which is in a lot of ways very similar to Source Code but (see my review in the movie section) I found to be much better . There's also Frequency which is good and more plausible in an implausible sort of way.

Super8 with all the hype I was really looking forward to but it left my underwhelmed as the emotions seemed forced and took far too much a back seat to the fx( and the alien wasn't even that cool).
If you haven't seen The Goonies or Stand by Me or (unbelievably)E.T. or Close Encounters of the Third Kind I suggest you do so and see either coming of age or alien encounter or both gone right.

Hesher two words Sling Blade
Also The Mysterious Skin (again with Gordon-Levitt) pushes all the right buttons
and The Lookout - seedy and keeps you guessing.

Btw I know I'm not really answering what you asked but little point in regurgitating the IMDB top 250.

Also my advice is Google who good directors are and try watching some of their stuff as the directors more than the actors ,more than the writers ,more than anyone involved ,seeing as it's their "vision" determine if a movie is any good or not.

You've been clearly misinformed. PTPC and TC are general movie trackers, and I think so is GoEM. CG and KG cater to different interests - B-movies and foreign/non-mainstream ones, respectively.

My thoughts when I read your first post were the same as ca_aok's - it's impossible for a new Hollywood movie not to be on the first two sites you mentioned.

[mjmacky]

Me for instance I like happy endings and anything mjmacky hates.

I hate turtles



In actuality I don't really dig movies as much as I do my anime and some TV series. When it does come to movies, my favorites have a bit of age on them. On the other hand, these tend to be easily found, not requiring a membership at a specialty tracker.

Hulu did a criterion collection thing, which gave me a chance to revisit some awesome stuff from days back (Seven Samurai, Zatoichi) and discover ones I've never heard of but found the plot interesting and resulted in loving it (Kapo). Then there were movies that I just said, what the fuck, how much time did I just waste? I imagine this is pretty much the experience for most people on those specialty trackers. Then again, I'm just extrapolating.

In the end, foreign/independent film fans will be the ones who migrate to that site, is it so surprising they'll praise it so highly?

And just to list my credentials just enough so that all can take my post seriously, my favorite "older" movies are Airplane & Blazing Saddles, everything else that roams high on my list ran between 1994-1999 from what I can tell (Usual Suspects, Office Space, Leon, Pulp Fiction, Big Lebowski), and they can be found on any tracker.

[ca_aok]

Goem is a much smaller site (11K torrents compared to 76K on PTP) so obviously some stuff will be missing. I've heard they have a very nice community though (and not in the 0-day pretentious 12 year old level 11 1337 crap way), but I've never really participated in it much. Movies aren't exactly my primary content when in comes to downloading. Despite PTP being the source of constant drama and failures at the hands of the staff team, they arguably have the largest collection of movies outside of a general tracker like Demonoid. And things do seem to be running more smoothly after the coup that moved them to .me, so hopefully things keep working well. I'd recommend you check it out, I don't think invites are hard to come by.

You're thinking of his brother John. I thought you were supposed to know a fair bit about movies?

[mjmacky]

You're thinking of his brother John

Jim equivocally replaced him, obvious

[Artemis]

Out of the mentioned trackers I am only a member of Karagarga, but it isn't just B-movies and foreign films, if you search by genre all the great (old) movies are there. But then what is so great about many of the latest movies, there is an over reliance on effects, while many of the storylines are weak to the point of abject boredom on my part at least, and most of the remakes are truly awful.

[Polarbear]

Is PTCP Gazelle?

[Frankthetank1]

My favorite movies are the old ones but you can only watch them so many times....

Better off dead, War games, The Jerk, Young Frankenstein, all the westerns with Clint Eastwood are my in my top ten

But i am not the type of person that can go to the theater and watch the same movie multiple times.

Also i think you are getting john and jim belushi mixed up... John is ten times the actor jim will ever be. Unless you forgot to include a movie he was in.


Thanks.

Movies I know somewhat.Writing coherent sentences is a bit of a problem though. I was ( I thought ) obviously jumping back and forth between the two brothers.
Maybe if I mentioned that for The Long Kiss Goodnight Renny Harlan cast then- wife Gena Davis who he first stooped met on the set of Cutthroat Island it will restore some cred.

Btw they just cancelled the planned remake of The Lone Ranger set to star Johnny Depp as Tonto( I'm not making this up) because the budget was to exceed $250 million dollars.:mellow:
Now I know the U.S. dollar isn't what it use to be but still how do you spend $250 million dollars on a Western ? All thoroughbred horses ? Pearl-handled revolvers with real pearls?

From WWTDD


Every movie MUST have werewolves and/or vampires (http://www.wwtdd.com/2011/08/every-movie-must-have-werewolves-andor-vampires/)



On Friday, Disney shut down production on a Lone Ranger movie starring Johnny Depp, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Gore Verbinski, because the budget was already estimated at 250 million dollars. But before explaining how that’s possible, let’s quickly mention the Lone Ranger origin story, which is surprisingly bad ass.

Six Texas Rangers are ambushed by a band of outlaws led by Butch Cavendish. (Left for dead), a Native American named Tonto stumbles on the scene and recognizes the lone survivor, Dan Reid, as the man who had saved his life some time in the past. He nurses Reid back to health. The two men dig six graves for Reid’s comrades, among them Reid’s brother, and Reid fashions a black mask using material from his brother’s vest to conceal his identity.

After that they go get Cavendish. It’s a classic tale of justice and revenge, but according to Hollywood, if a movie doesn’t have Indian werewolves in it, how good could it really be? And so, according to Hollywood Elsewhere (http://hollywood-elsewhere.com/2011/08/dances_with_wer.php)…
A 3.29.09 draft of (the Lone Ranger) script makes it clear it was going to be at least partly about some kind of Native American wolfbeast tearing victims apart and leaving a bloody mess.


Now that’s more like it. Every movie should have werewolves all the time, everywhere, and all the old movies should have werewolves digitally added. If you’re a movie without a werewolf, fuck you.

“It was always going to be a big Bruckheimer CG movie with traditional Bruckheimer elements with an eye toward being a tentpole, totally Pirates-style.”
“It was never going to be a semi-traditional western…it was never going to be Zorro.”
“It was going to be a Tonto show mainly. Tonto as the top dog and more dominant than the Lone Ranger. Tonto and the Indian spirits like Obi Wan Kenobi and the force. The driving engine was going to be Native American occult aspects worked in with werewolves and special effects. But flavored with doses of Native American spirituality in a serious way.”

Yes, serious, I get that. The premise is very respectful. Indians are like Luke Skywalker, and sometimes they transform into wolf beasts and tear people apart. If you asked an Indian high priest to describe his religion, he couldn’t have said it any better.

[kallieb]

you boyz are so witty :)

As already posted, the 0-day hollywood slop can be had anywhere. i don't see the charm in any tracker that just churns that crap out. Go ddl, or demonoid if that's your thing. As far as KG, it's definitely not for everyone. Personally I like it because it's so specialised. If you're a fan or arthouse/international cinema then it's definitely for you and the chances are very good that if weird, classic, off-beat, indie film-fest oddities turn your crank than you'll find it on KG. Another charming quality is that the films are well-seeded for a decent length of time, which is a quality sorely lacking on many trackers. They do a good job of nuking any mainstream films off the tracker as they should. You want the latest luc besson - go elsewhere.

[mjmacky]

You want the latest luc besson - go elsewhere.

Not necessarily the first name that comes to mind when I think mainstream (well except I guess for that Transporter 2 and 3 thing). But you can't hate on the creation of Leon, La Femme Nikita, etc.

More recently, I loved his District B13 stuff, those are about the only action movies I seem to have actually enjoyed these days.

Two halves make a whole.

[kallieb]

If Nikita was uploaded back when it first came out they would of probably ok'd it (a brilliant film btw). It's the hollywood shine that he developed since that puts him mainstream. I learned that lesson the hard way when I uploaded Banlieu 13 to the KG tracker back when it first came out. It was nuked for that sole reason of besson's 'hollywood-ness'.

Really! I instead had that sesame street song in my head... One of these things is not like the other, One of these things just doesn't belong..... :)

Pretense thy name is KG.


Only arthouse, classic, cult, rare and alternative material allowed.
No mainstream, blockbuster or recent Hollywood / Bollywood films allowed.

Besides the obvious fact that most "classic " movies were themselves Hollywood blockbusters at one time and while I support KG in it's attempt( I think) to bring some focus on maybe otherwise overlooked material, seriously film is about inciting emotion,uncovering truth and generally being entertained not as some would have you believe , endlessly staring at your navel.

Yes but that's like 2 good minutes immersed in 90 minutes of boring stupid boringly stupid.
Christ they couldn't even be bothered to put any good parkour which was entirely the best part of the first one.Give me bad Jackie Chan ( before he became a Hollywood star at least) over this boring ,wait I said that already ,stupid, no covered that too ... er....... crappy crap any day of the week plus two shows on Saturdays and Sundays.

[mjmacky]

Huh? Great parkour certainly wasn't absent. The only problem I have with most early Jackie Chan movies, is they've been made too easily available as dubs instead of subs. They really ruin it

They weren't isolated extended parkour scenes the same way they did in the first, they were mostly moments integrated with other shit going on from what I remember, and Leito wasn't the only one doing them.

Funny, because I've went there plenty of times & not found what I'm looking for.
NO tracker is going to have everything. If you are looking for anything that's not main stream, you're better off looking on CG, THC or Goem. Also Secret Cinema & Cinematik. Documentaries & foreign content, KG. And if you want/prefer DVD9/5, BitHQ & TDC are 2 of the best places to look. There's also MySpleen if you are into classic TV shows, like nick at night & old SNL episodes.
TC is another that comes to mind, which is similar to PtP, but not as much content, Although I have found a few things there I couldn't find elsewhere. Limiting yourself to 1 movie tracker is doing yourself a great disservice, if you are a true TV/film fan.

PTP evolved to be one of the greatest movie trackers. Only kg and cg might concur, but only in terms of niche-ness for old movies and non Hollywood.
