I don't get how there are torrents for Ex Machina DVD and bluray available already when the movie is still in theatres and not been released on DVD or bluray. Can anyone clear this up?

For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?
Either they're fake, or the BD/DVD sources were leaked from production studios. I'm not aware of any rule that says DVD mastering must be done post-airing. From a resource perspective it probably makes more sense to do all the post-photography work at once.
The release delay had always made sense to provide a movie-going / financial incentive.

Might be a screener as well. It's not like a BD rip would have menus and other such things marking a full BD (DVD). As I recall, screener leakage has been a problem forever. No idea how they try to combat it. Watermarks? Movies are already digital these days by default, so it doesn't take a whole lot of work to make a basic BD (DVD).
I believe that its more like a DVD quality Rip. No menus, subs, multi language, etc. Just some1 that managed to get a press release copy or maybe even plugged into the cinema reproducer and ripped it with good audio/video quality. Russia is famous for this. They provide DVD/BR quality Rips then each country only needs to get their own good audio sample to localize.Originally Posted by Animeniax

Oh ok. I have a decent amount of experience with movie torrents and I don't think I've ever seen a major movie released in HQ while the movie is still in theatres, though I admit I usually don't search for them because I only expect to find telesyncs and cams. What threw me off is that the rips are from a reliable source and they are labelled as blu-ray and DVD rips and are in fact HQ. I'm not endorsing the practice of torrenting copyrighted works.

Right. This is a forum that has endorsed the practice of torrenting copyrighted works since over a dedace ago. Quite a sudden wake-up call, huh?

Greetings to my friends of the NZA, CYA, FBY, and any other acronym thats out there.

I've heard the English word energy pronounced both as "energy" (ie pretty close to English) and "e-ne-ner-gi" or something similar in anime. What factors influence people pronouncing one or the other (and understanding one or the other)?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Should be e-ner-gi (hard g) in Japanese.
Peace.
In that case, what's the "eh" in front of e-ner-GI that I hear every single time someone says that?
For example: at 15m30s here

What are you talking about? I can't hear anything like that there. His "e" in energi is just a bit long. You have to realise both the "e"s in the word (first and third letters) sound the same in the Japanese. It's just English where they mysteriously sound different, despite being the same letter.
It sounds like e-ne-ru-gi to me. He just says it fast and silences the u, as usual in Japanese.
Peace.
Ah.. yes. That's the missing link.
"e-ner-gi (hard g)" makes sense, but I always heard "energy" pronounced with 4 syllables and could never figure out what was wrong with it.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Pretty sure that "e-na-ji" is the proper anglo-japanese usage of the word "energy", whereas "e-ne-ru-gi" is hipster-germanic-japanese pronounciation (because thatīs pretty much how you pronounce it in German), aka Japanese people love German no matter how weird its application lol.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Though both are used, enerugi- is actually the more common word in Japan. Japanese language adopted a lot of German words and use them everyday, like arubaito. I don't understand where you got this hipster thing from.
Peace.
Because Japanese using German words for no good reason is pretty much "being hipster" :P
Also, I never understood the term "arubaito". They donīt even use it as itīs used in German, where it describes your "jobs", as opposed to the Japanese meaning, where it is used for "mini jobs" or any kind of small-ish, part-time job, usually for pupils during vacation or free-time.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
You are underestimating the importance Germany had during industrialisation.
And also how words are borrowed and used in other languages.In France for example "bon week-end" (have a good week-end) became "bon week" with simplification in very familiar language.
And I would not be surprised people use one or the other prononciation for energy depending on which was in use in their surronding. As simple as that ? It is after all a foreign word, so I do not think they put too much thought in its use
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
I see videos online every now and again about "This is why you don't brakecheck (a truck)" and proceed to show a vehicle braking abruptly, and the vehicle behind them colliding into the front vehicle.
(I've since learned that brakechecking is the deliberate, abrupt braking when unnecessary, with the intention of scaring the driver behind or to deter them from following too closely)
It's the first I've heard of the term, and I don't get why it's a big deal. To me, if the car behind couldn't brake in time, they're at fault for not maintaining a safe distance.

You are only talking about the "valid" case, assuming such behavior could ever be valid, as I'd personally never risk it. That is, when you are driving normally, minding your own business, but then from somewhere comes a car that starts hugging your rear bumper for no intelligent reason.
However, the videos clips on Youtube, that I've seen a hundred of, are mostly cases of scumbags that pass a usually more or less normally driving car, return to the same lane very close to the front of the target car, and then hit the brakes like there's no tomorrow, allowing the passed car very little time to react properly, especially if it's a heavy truck. This is for two reasons: An insurance fraud (since, like you said, the car behind is supposed to keep a safe distance to the car in front) or because it's some brat that thinks it's so awfully funny. Sometimes the cases in the videos have been more muddy road rage ones, where there might have been some beef between two drivers, but the one uploading the video typically cuts the upload so that the other party is the only one driving haphazardly.
