Since I'm not an English native, I prefer subtitles.

 

Found that most of the movies available for download are MP4 without subtitles.

 

Which software you use to add the subtitles to the MP4 file please?

 

Most of the 1080 movies come with subtitle, about 50% of 720 movies have sub titles 480 movies do not usually have them.

Yes you have to add the srt file into the movie folder but it has to be the correct file for the movie otherwise it will not work or could be out of sinc for the voices.

 

Some of the up loaders routinely put subs into their files you will get to know which ones do that by trial and error

 

I have found 'Subscene' to be quite good for sub titles but there are many others as well, try google searching subtitles for the movie name you want to add subtitles to.

Thanks I have sorted it since.

 

The movie I downloaded from Piratebay was Equalizer 2 from 2018 I think. it was a 1.9GB 1080p file in MP4 format.

 

I downloaded the subtitle file from Subscene, and yes it was out of sync, but LG has a setting where you easily can adjust the sync.

 

I've been out of the running for maybe 10 years, but I recall downloads at that time were all in MKV format, though I didn't download those from torrents but from subscription sites with 'news' in the name. The name escapes me after all those years.

 

So what is the best source for movies these days?

On that note, I was looking for The Equaliser 3, after it was recommended by a friend, however it doesn't appear to be on the torrent sites yet – – anyone seen it?

 

As I couldn't find it I downloaded and watched another movie called, "The Good Liar" which starred Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen, and it was very good with a hugely unusual twist towards the end.

As I said, I have SSD connected to my LG TV through USB. No Kodi on an LG TV. I prefer older movies over today's crap, so most of them are MP4.

 

Google told me the solution in the meantime, which is just to add the subtitle to the same folder, and enable subtitles in the settings of the TV.

The kodi addons do exactly what the google solution is. That's why I use an Android TV box. Much smarter than any smart tv, and portable if you change TVs.

E3 on x1337, and enjoyed it.

 

Thanks for 'The Good Liar' recommend, as really like the leads.  Trailer looks familiar, but the rest, not sure if I saw already on not  😂

I tried both spellings on 1337X, but it's not there, however E 2 is there, but when I moved to TPB, I was able to find it and I'm currently downloading it.

This is getting some excellent reviews.

During WWII, five miles above the ground and behind enemy lines, ten men inside a bomber known as a "Flying Fortress" battle unrelenting flocks of German fighters.

 

 

I watched Episode 1 of Mission of the Air over the weekend, my thanks to @Will27 and straight away noticed a familiar sounding music score from Band of Brothers, and I thought it would be as good.

It was a magnificent production don't get me wrong, but I had problem staying focused for the duration, in fact I was glad it ended.

The User Reviews seem to be bringing down the IMDB Rating and not that many are that positive.

Perhaps some others and those who have watched Episode 2, may have an opinion to share.

I would like to stay with it, if it is worthwhile continuing.

Yes  the IMDB reviews are really dragging the number down, no way can it be compared to Band of Brothers which is what people are doing, but for a WW2 military historian like myself who lived in UK and have read every book and publication about the Mighty Eighth Army Air Force also visited many of the old airfields in East Anglia, Norfolk and Suffolk it is a most interesting well made movie but that does not make it an entertaining story, I view it more as a tribute to those boys but it is not for everybody.

I have not seen "Band of Brothers". What do you think of it?

Band of brothers is superb I have watched it three times.  It starts during the training of Easy company at boot camp and progresses right up to their occupation of Berchtesgaden and the Obersalzberg area.

 

There are several individual stories running  not least the one about Major Richard Winter journey through the ranks whilst  he heads up his band of brothers.

My dad (RIP) was in the RAF during WWII and defused UXO kindly deposited on UK airfields by the Nazis and later in Germany on Allied UXO.

I think like you, he too would enjoy the series.

Just started watching The Three-body Serie.

It's Chinese with Eng. subs. 30 eps.

 

SF and in my opinion very good. Makes me think of Devs or

even more Dark. Even the music is the same style as Dark.

"The Beekeeper" Action-thriller with a bit of comedy. Wife loved it, I enjoyed it, Jason Statham saving the world, how bad could it be? 

Available now for downloads, and also enjoyed it

When you're done with Band of Brothers, there's a sort of sequel, almost as good: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374463/

To Catch a Copper

 

Police receive a call from a woman saying she was sexually assaulted by an on-duty police officer.

 

The officer says she assaulted him and that he’s not at fault. With two conflicting versions of events, how do the police tell who is right?

Didn't seem much in the way of repercussions for all the coppers misconduct. Slaps on the wrist.

I usually enjoy Statham movies like Wrath of Man, but Beekeeper was just too over the top and into John Wick territory, bordering on cartoonish.
