700mb movies suck

I have watched the odd movie of late that has been compressed to fit onto a CD - they've been around the 600 to 700mb mark.

Movies that have been compressed that much blow chunks. One episode of a sitcom is ok, but a 90 minute movie? Waste of time.

Yes, bittorrent and company might be seen as a threat to the movie studios, but in the end, who wants to watch an action movie that looks like it has been shot on a hand held camera in a Malaysian cinema? Proper movies on DVD are worth paying for. Free movies uphold the old axiom of "you get what you pay for".
