Rating: 8.3/10 - from 50,222 users Directed by Stuart Rosenberg. Starring Paul Newman, George Kennedy, Jo Van Fleet. A man refuses to conform to life in a rural prison.

Re-seed request should contain exact time and time-zone you're in. Re-seed time-window is 1 (maybe 2) hours because server-time is expensive and seeding speed is above 1 Gbps. If you have slow connection, just forget about old, dead torrents. Re-seed chances are good for single torrents whithin the week of original day of upping. Chances for re-seed of torrents older than week are slim to none. "Out of schedule" shows or pilot-episodes may get uploaded randomly, if circumstances allow (i.e. free slots open up). Do NOT bother requesting easily available titles. If I haven't encoded something new and current - I have my reasons for that. Do NOT request movies which have IMDB score lower than 4.4. Do NOT request inclusion of TV shows in my schedule; that's my call. The removal of some show depends on many factors, however, be sure that shows would be dropped if I spot lack of interest, hungry hard-fisting crowd or too high a number of Hit and Runs.

Official 1280x720 frame-size is - simple - and - plain - WRONG. 90% of encodes follow that wrong "standard" for years, what leads to unimaginable volume of "squashed" objects and people. Look any circular, well known object, not people, because human eyes can easily be tricked. Look at examples 1280x720 http://bayimg.com/PaEOfaADH and my 1216x720 (I go even as "low" as 704 pixels, if needed. http://bayimg.com/pAEoHaadh Use own eyes, please. NAMING RULE: name.source.year/season/episode.frame-format.encoding-type NOTE 2: 352p and 480p encodes use new tool-chain and new encoding type. 320p, 360p should be considered obsolete. 272p would remain because of compatibility with portables, but soon would be abandoned. Practically, ALL "wide-targets formats" would be abandoned, and only PC-PS3-Xbox formats would be encoded. I would like to keep PS3/Xbox/standalones compatibility - therefore, I need feedback from users of PS3/Xbox and different standalone MP4 capable players. Most problems people have are with frame-sizes 1280x720 (720p). I recommend and have used one system for years - CoreAVC for H264 http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/5910023/ ("Deblocking" set to "Standard") and part of DivX7-8 for AAC - AAC DirectShow filter. Both are proved perfect, fastest and provide seamless playback up to 1080p on new generation of computers. Newer NVIDIA graphic cards processors (GPU) decode H264 using dedicated subroutines directly served from CoreAVC (I have an ATI card, just in case you were wondering). New DivX8 is maybe 18% slower than Core AVC and very common, and in order to use DivX8 H264 and AAC DS filters outside DivX7 or 8 player (as in Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic), Haali spliter must be installed. Beware, however, that video quality could be very much degraded on encodings where extremely low bit-rates have been used. TIP: Switch back and forth between Core AVC and DivX H264 DS filters by marking and un-marking Core AVC "Preferred decoder" setting. Problems one can have may come from either one of the following and-or a combination of these: the playback system itself, a malfunctioning device or lack of knowledge. For instance, any so called "jerky" playback of "system-heavy" 720p comes from insufficient CPU and graphic engine power or simply - overloaded computer. Use of ddshow filters and "codecs" is suicidal. This is not Russian 720p Matroska format ("official" 720p) and completely different setup is required (extremely high bit-rates of .mkv 720p to some extent "hide" bad encoding style). In low bit-rate H264, such as mine, those errors and bad technique cannot be hidden and therefore are avoided as much as possible. Any "blurriness" of video comes from less-than-recommended media player. VLC and a few other players are the most versatile and, generally speaking, good - but quality is 10-20% lower. Any "blockiness" comes from "system-too-slow" situation, when decoding engine of ones device become over-capacitated and cannot process all frames as it supposed to. On "I have no video" and "I have no sound" I don't waste my time as this is generally a complete lack of knowledge and/or understanding. RTFM is the best response I can give. MP4 is absolutely ISO 14496-1 compliant. There are no B-frames, no CABAC entropy in 272p and 360p, no strange filtering and no AV weirdness of any kind. Recommended resolution for computers is 1024x768 (no matter frame-size). If you watch on HighDef TV or new HighRes monitor - take a proper watching distance - 6 to 8 ft. (It's a must then, I KNOW how ugly it looks with nose in front of screen). LCD panels, especially cheap and affordable ones "hate" low bit-rate encodes. I have two monitors connected and same encode looks ugly on LG LED LCD but looks fantastic on normal CRT Samsung one. So, move your bottoms few feet back - or download GB big encodes. PS3 + HDMI cable + newer TV have been reported as best combination. I am very proud on sound quality and hence I recommend use of stereo system and proper loudspeakers (connect Line Out of Soundcard or standalones with Line In of any Stereo rack). ************************************************************************************ You meet people who forget you.

I can't fault him there--the Paul Newman part, anyway--the first, last, and only movie I recall him in that was worth watching again was The Sting--and that was largely due to Robert Shaw. imho, of course.

 twentyforty (2011-04-14)

Compared to WHAT? What playback-system? Have you ORIGINAL Blu-Ray to compare to unaltered source?
STOP SPAMMING ALL MY UPLOADS OF CLASSIC MOVIES, PLEASE !
Freedom of opinion does not count in voices of - anybody, morons included.
Your "rating" system is totally unfounded and idiotic. Anyone can write whatever number one wants, right? And nobody can check to what one compare his ratings too.
I am sure that your rating reflects inner state of your mind - and something is obviously wrong at both places.
I am NOT THE ONLY ONE who knows that your "rating" is - let say nicely - wrong, skewed and probably biased.

@dude....: ^^ strangely, TPB shows dozen times Database error if I address my response properly.

formerly_azrielle (2011-04-14)

In other words, I, personally, can't stand Paul Newman as an actor--but his commercial food brand (Newman's Own) is generally excellent and incomparable. But I simply choose not to download and or watch his movies--I don't badmouth the messenger (20-40, in this case), who is entitled to his opinion as well, and quite likely--from an international perspective, has much better cinematic taste than I do.

 twentyforty (2011-04-14)

I am not crazy about late Paul Newman, but I do have great admiration for long, fruitful career and clean life. He was significant part of cinematic history and one of maybe dozen greatest male actors ever lived. He played in few greatest movies which marked older generations forever, becoming a part of civilizational heritage of western world and as such was interlaced in many aspects of our lives.
One cannot 'dislike' Paul Newman as actor, he can dislike only his physical appearance (curious are ways how human minds works).
Some of the scenes and quotes from this particular movie are so deeply embedded (by Paul's performance) in probably existing 'universal conscience' that depriving yourself from watching all classics (even if they are not something one would watch) is absolutely same as deprivation of soaking all out there, in forms of books and movies, and not just searching for self-centered hedonistic masturbation of all kinds, which is today's prevailing standard.
It was a Request, and with great pleasure, I accepted it.

Individual actors, including Paul Newman, have role preferences, as well as "typecast" roles offered. As also individual members of audiences. Witness the roles that John Wayne, Fred Astaire, Jimmie Stewart, Peter Lorre', or Edward G. Robinson played, or decided to play. Or that Keira Knightley or Angelina Jolie decide to play now. Paul Newman did a string of bad boy character movies in the '60's that were, and have remained, to me, irritating and forgettable, and, those of which I actually saw--such as this one--left me asking the question "why did they bother making this movie in the first place?" His later movies were more enjoyable, but he still almost universally remained "stuck in character". Given his fame and versatility, one would think that he COULD have done different more likeable character types (as could Fred Astaire could have--another actor I can't stomach), but he almost never did, so one must conclude that he LIKED playing those roles. I just don't enjoy WATCHING them. And since the roles a famous actor chooses to accept must, therefore, reflect, at least to some extent, the actor's personality, one can, with some truthfulness, voice his like or dislike of an actor.
