Damn! Apologies for the double post. I got a timed out message and hit submit again. my connection is a bit glitchy today.

Yes. Because music and movies are exactly the same. It's not uncommon for an album to cost over a hundred million just to make, and of course, no one balks at paying 4-5 bucks per song. WTF?

Some people aren't happy unless they know where their next aggravation/blog post is coming from. If I'm going to pay to see a movie in a theater, I almost always wait until it shows up at the local theater bistro. Otherwise I watch mainstream movies on UVerse ppv, or indie films for free with Amazo...

I find that thinking of them as being "based on" The Hobbit rather than being "The Hobbit" helps.

But when I saw T...

You might guess from the title that I just got back from the new Hobbit movie. Now at last I know how one simple little story could be turned into a three-movie monstrosity, where each movie is 2Â½ hours long. They added superflous action scenes, chase scenes, hot elf fanservice, odd sideplots, ran...

I'm starting to think this is another Ed Clint 90 hour cunt joke.

TL;DR...No problem with someone being fat, big problems with them telling profit-making companies that their demands need to be met. Indeed. That would fall under my reference to "owning the decisions you make". As a general principle I would add that being unusual for any reason (even one you have...
