Listen at this idiocy by the MPAA and their mercenary leader Chris Dodd:

” It’s a dangerous and troubling development when the platforms that serve as gateways to information intentionally skew the facts to incite their users in order to further their corporate interests.

A so-called “blackout” is yet another gimmick, albeit a dangerous one, designed to punish elected and administration officials who are working diligently to protect American jobs from foreign criminals. It is our hope that the White House and the Congress will call on those who intend to stage this “blackout” to stop the hyperbole and PR stunts and engage in meaningful efforts to combat piracy.”

Clearly the guy is confused about what side he is on, he is the one on the sinking ship trying to bail water as fast as possible instead of building a better ship. Of course he is just a merc and making a living. It’s sad to see yet another failed business model sliding away and instead of learning from their retarded brother RIAA they continue down the same path.

Hey MPAA, here are some things to think about…

The internet is going to get faster and faster with bigger pipes. People want things to be easy, if you don’t provide an easy way to watch any movie or tv show someone else will. Before you run out of money I suggest building a robust platform where ANYONE can access your movies through an API and is charged for them. Then you can have Netflix competing with lots of other startups and you still get paid. Or just buy Netflix or Hulu and put all the movies/tv shows there and knock down the old archaic licensing system. If you can’t adapt you will die.

Political action to stunt the technological growth of your own country will not end will. The current bill amounts to treason in how horrendously it deals with the actual problem. I will be striking against watching any movies in the theater or rented until you stop this nonsense. Which is sad as I watch a ton of movies and now you don’t get to have money.

I had a random thought today, I would like my tomb stone to read “Mildly Competent”.

I saw this yesterday and highly recommend it, creepy as hell but very entertaining. Similar to the Matrix in a lot of ways and the best movie since the first Matrix. I’d give it 4.5 out of 5 stars and it deserves 4 stars just for showing that you can make an original movie even if it is a big budget movie.

Such a great movie, go watch it and realize how awesome it is… Bam!

Mel Gibson = Great Director.

I’m going to call this one early, the funniest movie of 2009 is The Hangover, go watch it and be sure to check the trailer out! I laughed the entire time… which was dangerous as apparently a medium soda at a movie theater means 72oz, aka a soda swimming pool.

I also give Up best animation this year! Great story and I think it might actually be my third or fourth favorite movie from Pixar. Right after Monsters Inc, Nemo, and The Incredibles.

Blah, better than the last one but still not spectacular.

Wolverine: Suck

Angels and Demons: Ok but really killed the plot in a complicated way. Heard a few people getting confused, was funny.

Way to just take a cereal box plot and apply it to every universe you can buy the rights too. Suck. Sure it was entertaining but it could be so much more if you put some fraking thought into the movies you make. This will die after 1 to 2 sequels and we will be left until some director with some brass balls makes something a lot better.

Going to try Wolverine and Terminator next.
