Perhaps some Youtube's done a video on it... I feel like I've seen a headline or link saying something like "Why Paul is underrated" recently.
I didn't know there was an extended version, do the extra 6 minutes add anything? Maybe not
-
Thing that gets me. This is the 720p version... surely people would want the 1080p version? Lol
-
I have a friend who always downloads the smallest (by file size) copy of any video he can find. He has a 75" 4k TV, 5.1 surround speakers, the whole setup but he downloads 720p in stereo almost exclusively. He says he just doesn't care about the video or audio quality. It blows my mind, but some people are just weird.
Edit: Also, Paul is just a funny movie, if you're into goofy movie references.
-
If they're watching on a phone, 720 might be fine. My preferred resolution depends a lot on what device I'm watching on and its screen size.
-
I usually watch the movie on my PC and my setup is plain stereo with a non-FullHD monitor, so... not much point in downloading 1080p 🤷.
-
So if you have newer nvidia based card you can upscale to 4K based off 7 20p
The result is closer to 1440 p
-
720 is dvd quality... which is good enough for most people... plus the file size is much smaller... plus a lot of people watch shit on their phones anyways

Probably just an extra six minutes of Seth Rogan's annoying laugh.

Na, man. It's too damn long

Thanks. Ill download it now

Honestly, I don’t even remember it being that funny. I haven’t gave it a second thought since its release. The power of social media marketing, I guess.
If you’ve never seen Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, I’d encourage you instead to take a look at Shaun of the Dead, and Hot Fuzz, both really good movies.
-
My problem was I watched it expecting Cornetto trilogy and got stoner comedy so didn't enjoy it as much. Going in expecting stoner comedy (when in the mood for it) a few years later increases the enjoyment factor.
-
Paul versus Baby Driver really illustrates what Nick Frost and Simon Pegg's chemistry bring to a movie versus what Edgar Wright's directing brings to a movie.
And even in combination, the trio only nailed it two out of three times. The World's End is just... okay.

It's not great.

Its a great movie! Get onboard, do the lemming thing and follow.
(Sometimes a label is a distraction. expand your mind.)

Something like this happened to me once before. I sent a pm to the tracker staff to ask about it; they responded that a leecher had a borked client causing it to repeatedly download the torrent again. I suspect something like that is what is happening here.
-
I've downloaded it 100 times just for the lols

I've never seen it, but now I'm going to watch it too. Thanks OP!
-
Enjoy. It's wonderful

It's the one about a stoner alien?
-
that's the one
people are UFO hungry all the sudden (it's been building since 2017 but now even TMZ is doing a docuseries on the phenomenon)
stoners are super doober UFO hungry right now
I'm a UFO stoner and I don't actually know why it's so popular. but for any other UFO stoners out there, the audiobook version of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is voiced by Stephen Fry, and it's phenomenal.
-
Honestly I've never seen that movie but someone told me about it, stopped smoking pot since a year ago and tbh I'm doing pretty fine, I didn't regret my stoner times but I believe I'm doing better right now, I loved to see movies while stoned and UFO and Alien stuff are pretty interesting WO being stoned so I believe stoned they should be better.
Nowdays there is a lot of UFO activity out there, recently I saw a big and shiny one like at 4AM near my city.
-
I'll second those audiobooks. They've been my go-to for sleeping for several years. Amazing listens.

Maybe something to do with the 10 foot tall aliens down in Florida? 🤷🏻♂️
-
This is the third time I've seen this referenced. I looked this up and now I feed stupider for having read anything about it.
-
-
Nooope ignore me I misremembered the billboard I saw
On January 11 (in Canada) a Paul prequel tv show will be released, perhaps all the interest isbeing generated by marketing for that shows release
-
YouTube and/or tiktok shorts.
-
Social media influencers seems likely.

Nice try, Paul's producers.
