The Difference Between Democrats and Republicans - TED

Guy is boring and his mouth is dry.

People who are shielded from or made ignorant of the consequences of their actions tend to be more liberal in their choices. Examples: children, college profs, the worst workers in a union, affirmative action hires and the temporarily wealthy by inheritance or bad movies.

People who are exposed to and experience the consequences of their actions tend to be more conservative. Examples: children after a spanking, private educators, performance-based workers who can be fired for making too many mistakes, the temporarily wealthy by inheritance after losing too much money or making bad movies nobody sees.

The way "I am Legend" was supposed to end

Hive13 says...

This isn't how it was supposed to end AT ALL. If you read the book, you'll know how it was supposed to end.

The movie, other than the basic premise and the main character's name, was completely made up and fabricated for this movie. It wasn't a bad movie if you have no idea how Richard Matheson originally told the story, but the Omega Man with Charlton Heston was a more accurate movie that this thing and even that was way off the mark.

The pommel horse bit in that movie ruined it for me because it was made to look like some damn piece of sculpture or something in the middle of the square.

open question for discussion (Blog Entry by smibbo)

It's pretty easy to avoid bad movies these days, once you square up your own personal taste with rottentomatoes or MetaCritic. I skipped The Fountain, but thought A History Of Violence was decent. It did come from a graphic novel, where extreme violence is commonplace. I also liked The Rock.

I'm happy to say that I've missed all of the other bad movies discussed.

I Wouldn't Steal A Purse, But I Do Download Films

Farhad2000 says...

Downloading movies is immoral? Wow. Bit of a strech there ain't it?

Let's all admit one fact, good movies make alot of money regardless of pirating or not, bad movies don't make any money either way. Word of mouth is still the best way of getting to know good movies, and some movies simply have to be seen on the big screen, I regret not seeing Citizen Kane or Lawrence of Arabia on the big screen, but I bought both on DVD. Some movies I have no choice but download because frankly how else am I suppposed to see an arthouse Hungarian flick in the Middle East or Central Asia? the distribution model doesn't exist to cover viewers like me.

I believe the problem still inherently lies in an old distribution model trying to making money in a digital age, look at how the RIAA deals with their consumers their business model to this day. They need to rethink the market totally, some signs are already there, in Russia rampant piracy has forced companies to publish DVDs on the market very quickly to make back revenue from piracy, that works really well in a nation were piracy is rampant. These are the so called R9 rips that have Russian and English audio tracks.

I still think pulling down clips off Youtube is a stupid way to deal with piracy, there are countless old and new movies I watched because of clips or trailers up online, its free marketing. Pure online distribution should be readily taken up by the studios, as well as multi format releases occuring across several formats at the same time, cinema, Pay TV, rental and online (spreading revenue potential across alot more markets). Special DVD releases after 3 or so months would supplement that, HellBoy and Pitch Black made almost no money at the box office but DVD sales proved lucrative.

However re-thinking the model is harder and more risky then simply blaming piracy, but the problem won't go away at all especially with increasing digitization of the cinema format as a whole.

I Wouldn't Steal A Purse, But I Do Download Films

spoco2 says...

and to budzos, new movies already suck on the whole, which is why it makes sense for some to not spend the cash just to see a lame flick. i don't know about int'l movies, but in the states bad movies are RAMPANT.

Erm, so, you're saying that you still want to watch it though? If you think the film is so LAME, why are you downloading it? I just don't get the rationalle...

Downloading films is just wrong, this whole 'Share it's Fair' thing is utter crud. Movies cannot be made unless someone pays to watch and enjoy them.

Do I download movies? Yes. I have three kids, I hardly ever get to go out to the movies, so in order to find out if a flick is worth buying on DVD I do, yes, download a dvd rip of said movie, and then buy the DVD if I like it. I feel that in this way I end up buying more dvds than I otherwise would as I don't buy a movie sight unseen. Do I ever delude myself into thinking that what I'm doing is right? No, I know it's not... but it's a way of me seeing a lot more than I otherwise would. Do I feel bad about depriving filmmakers of money? I would if I were downloading a movie RATHER than going to see it in the movies, but we only get to go once in a blue moon.

It's people who blame movies on why they download, such as you elysse, who are using terrible logic. If you want it badly enough to download, then surely it isn't that bad? Or do you just like terrible movies? And if you do, you should be paying to see the terrible movies as you enjoy what they're making.
