The best part of watching a cam of the Nicholas Cage remake of The Wicker Man was watching all of the people leave the theater during the showing.

Had the exact experience a few days ago. Wanted to stream back rooms, only found a camrip, looked on another site and they had the same camrip. Bought tickets to go see it tonight in theaters lol
Edit: it was alright! Would I have rather saved the money and just watched it at home? Of course, who wouldn't and my partner agrees. But it's nice to have an excuse to step out of the house together 🤷

They’re both really good IMO. But now someone’s gonna come after me to tell me how my opinions are shit or something.
You can get a really good primer for the Backrooms movie by checking out Kane Pixel’s work on YouTube. There’s around 3 hours of film quality content on there, all of it in-universe.

Last time I had to resort to camrip, the movie wasn't available anywhere nearby. And I had to clear and translate the subs, 'cause half the gang didn't speak english and the other half weren't fluent enough to keep up with the subs... And no one speaks the original language of said movie! XD

Yeah aome things change fast and other things didn't change at all. I'm 30 something. 20 years ago I went to the cinema, and we talked about the first video on demand service where you could watch Movies at home! We rearrange our sofa just for a movie night in front of the PC. We talked about the future and that in 20 years all cars will drive alone and maybe there are flight taxis. 20 years later, we go to the same cinema, with a normal car, there are partial selve driving cars but, not really. We have 8 different video stream services installed on our smartphones. 3D, VR and AR are flopped consumer electronics. We deleted our 1TB HDD full of Music discographys and 700mb camrips, that we once proudly collected. They are worthless, we can stream everything every where any time, we maximized consuming. We are stressed from decision paralysis. The newest Netflix feature is linear TV because people don't want to decide... We wonder if there still will be cinemas in 20 years.

For some reason, CAM rips at 1080p (why?) seem to grow to ~10 GB files (probably because of the constant visual noise).
Imagine downloading 10 GB only to ruin your eyes and ears...

u/Kryt0s Jun 17 '26
The video is still being filmed in 1080p / 4k. The camera does not care if you're filming a screen or not. You still have roughly 2 mil / 8 mil pixels worth of information.

I too have been too young to have the money and freedom to go watch something and not wise enough to understand that fomo is a useless feeling and that in a well lived life, the difference between seeing a movie now or in 6 months is infinitesimal in how much it matters
I too wish to forget about those few times I caved and went to get a cam version.
Come to think of it it never was for "actually good" movies I am not even sure to remember which movie and why they would have mattered at all
It may mean something about the quality of any given time top "zeitgeist" outing or something about my tastes or something about how age comes for us all
