    Hi All...


    I just happend to notice that there were "full movie" offerings on YT. Not sure when they first arrived. But some of pickings are not bad.

    I started to watch Tarantino's DJANGO last night. It looked familiar in places. I forgot how funny it was. It's over 2 hrs. Have to finish it later. I grabbed the YT copy. The resolution does not appear true to their claim, but the lower rez doesn't seem to distract too much.

    Hello. It's cool they have some full movies on there, handy when you want a movie but aren't too committed to quality concerns. I watch them sometimes on my phone when I'm waiting for the kid to come out from school.

    Though as you said, the res tends to be meh. Compression for streaming also tends to cripple quality. I far prefer to just torrent stuff for watching on the main screen. I have a 4K 142" screen, so any resolution issues are exacerbated when you get to that size. Ideally, uncompressed BluRay rips are the best but eat a LOT of space. I have about 100 terabytes, but it goes quick ripping BDs, lol. I save that for only the really good titles.

    But yea, YT is nice for casual watching, decent selection of stuff!

    I have seen some. Most of them you have to pay to actually watch, but some older ones are there for free.

    I was able to watch "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" and the original
    "Nosferatu" on there before.

    Was Django a pay movie or a free one?

    DJANGO Unchained is free. It was an odd mix of tragedy/violence/humour.
