The bloke who cleans my office peddles pirated DVDs. For a fiver a go, you can have your own copy of something that's on the cinema. I have never bothered with pirate DVDs, convinced they must be really shot quality. Out of curiosity though I once got one off him. Transformers. It cost me five quid, and I swaer to god you could not see what the fuck was going on becuase the bloke was constantly jiggling his videocamera round and you could not hear anything either becuase his zipper was rubbing on the condenscer mic making a deafening roar. About five minutes into the film he even got up and had a piss, taking his camera with him and pausing it momentarily.
He's just come in now and asked me if I want Wally/Warlee whatever its called... he asks me quite regularly and I just don't get who the fuck thinks its worth spending a fiver on these terrible pirate copies rather than £8 at the cinema, £3 at the rental store, or £5 at Woolworth's in 12 months time.
What kind of fucking mugs keep this trade profitable ffs?
- look, do ye want Warlee or not mate?7point34

There is a place called Pacific Mall in Markham. Must be about 5 boothes there that sell bootleged dvds. They get busted all the time by the police, but they just re-open shop once they pay the fine. A "friend of mine" has bought dvds from these booths in the past, most end up being poor quality, or they either crap out half way though. They sell them for 4 DVDs for $20, actually I think they may even throw in a bonus dvd if you get 4, so it's 5 for 20. Well that's what I heard anyway.

Spooky, some people I know (in Toronto) manage to get bootlegged stuff that is fine. Or they just sell normal DVDs (probably downloaded from a torrent site right before the film comes out on DVD) for a fraction of the price that "regular" stores would sell or even rent them for. So it's worth it in that respect, and the quality is great. But if the film came out very recently, I wouldn't trust any copy of that film (unless it's right before the Oscars, when screening DVDs go out to voters and they somehow make their way onto torrent sites).
It's weird that he'd be giving out Transformers though. That one was out for a while.
- No no, Transformers was what I bought way back before it's UK release. It had been video'd in a US cinemaSpookytim
- The film he offered me today was that animated robot cleaning up earth Wally or whatever.Spookytim
- But these are second gen good copies, they are utter pish, filmed in a cinema on a mini-DV.Spookytim
- yeah, there are torrent files available all over (probably where the DVDs he has originated from) of camera copies and other shite versionsJaline
- copies and other shite versions. Surprisingly, people do download these copies just to watch when they don't have money or something.Jaline
- money or something. Or they are completely obsessed with a particular film and HAVE TO WATCH IT NOW. Weird.Jaline

Dear Blog,
Why is it that when trying to clarify a point in sidenotes, a crucial world is always, without fail, missing, and the missing word always, without fail, means you've put the exact opposite of what you wanted to say.- i found some of your missing words. they were clogging up the filter at the bottom of the pool7point34
- I gotcha :)Jaline
- You meant "I haven't found some of your missing words" didn't you.Spookytim
- of course. i don't know where you live, or whether you even have a pool7point34
- why? what did i write?7point34
- My point is proven.
