Polyester (1981)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Audio sounds demonic? Video not playing/delay while scrolling? Use the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, you're being blocked by a security service in use here. Can happen for a number of reasons. Or your specific device/browser might be throwing up weird errors.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

I figured this would be pretty bad before I started watching it but it is much worse than I thought it would be. Some people just laugh and laugh when they see a 300 pound fat shit guy dressed up like a woman acting like a fem. I’m sure some people think this bullshit is the funniest thing in the world. It was so not funny that I was thinking they made it that way on purpose. It’s just not for me. I watched the whole movie and I thought it really sucked. 1 star.

Holy shit… I really didn’t know what I was expecting. I’ve seen Serial Mom and I loved it, but I had no expectations or anything going into this. I’m not even halfway through it and I’m laughing my ass off. Good stuff

I’ve never posted on here but I’ve watched so many of these movies, awesome site. I’ve read some of the reviews, and I’m glad to see people exercising their freedom of speech, no matter how unfunny and stupid it makes you look. I mean, the actual reviews are not what I’m talking about and some change my perspective on the film I just watched, but when you have “Robert ButtFister” talking about politics or whatever nonsensical crap I tune out a bit.
