Why do all the sites with Transformers Rise of Beasts have to the Slot lights annoyance?

      Same, no fucking idea. Is it a visual glitch? A watermark? An IRL object? 🤔

        i’m pretty sure he’s referring to those physical lights embedded below/around the projector screen in some theatres that’re sometimes left still on, but very dimmed. i’m not a cam guy but i’d imagine if you do watch cams it’d be kind of annoying the whole entire time to have them on screen.

          Oh, yeah, makes sense. I’ve never watched mor than 5min of any cam ever, if I really wanted to see it for free I would just sneak in to the theater. 🤡

          Lol that’s a funny interpretation. I don’t have an answer for OP but I know what he’s referring to. Slots Lights is an annoying watermark/site on some cam rips of popular movies. Sometimes they’re the only ones available for awhile. Somehow they always get a copy out before everyone else. The watermark is seriously annoying from what I can remember. It was either permanently there and larger than the subtitles or flashing all over the screen every few minutes.
