Hurt Locker director sues bittorent users

I saw this in the cinema, but this is pretty low and money grabbing tbh, mental note to self:

Never watch any Voltage Pictures films again.
 
Anyone else think that Hurt Locker was just a "good" movie and nowhere near deserving of the Oscars!?? I really didn't think it was that good, with all the hype it got...
 
No, i didn't think it was world breaking. it WAS good, but certainly nothing incredible. I think it just got released at the right time and under the right circumstances.
 
Yeah, good luck with that.

If all 25,000 people respond either with a letter saying "I didn't do. Prove it" or "Yeah, I did it. But $3k? Jog on. I'll send you a cheque for the current RRP of the DVD" then the production company are going to have problems. Surely it will cost them far more to pursue this than they could ever hope to recover unless they target a handful of the worst offenders.

Yeah, I'd be annoyed too if I had made that crap movie. Got to take it out on someone.

Well said! I never understood why so many people like Hurt Locker - the main character was totally cliched - the lone maverick who sidesteps the rulebook to get the tough job done? Come on, that one was old a thousand years ago.

Yep and it was also one of the least memorable movies I can remember watching in years. I mean if I had to sit down and write out bullet points of things that happened in the film I'd be lucky to get to half a dozen.
 
it started good but rapidly went down hill.

Like a cliff side walk with an over enthusiastic and short sighted dog.

  • guy dies in explosion
  • new guys comes in
  • new guy disarms a bunch of artillery shells in a star shape
  • something about a sniper rifle and some British blokes
  • i think a little boy gets stabbed?
  • and then i think there's an ending.

If it wasn't Iraq and American's weren't over enthusiastically patriotic, it wouldn't have received a single nomination at all.

Thats not why it did well at the oscars.

Its Camerons Ex wife, and Cameron had yet another highest earning movie of all time still on general release,

It was done as an up yours to Jim "king of the world " Cameron.
 
The article doesn't even mention the director... It's the production team who are suing.

And the high settlement price is due to the sharing, not just the downloading for personal use.
