Just Steal Your Music Already
XKCD is probably one of the best comic strips ever. Certainly in the tech industry anyway.
The RIAA and MPAA already assume everybody is a criminal and stealing their imaginary property. That is why on all the movies you legally buy there are FBI and Interpol messages reminding you that copying is a crime. As well on the back of nearly every CD.

On top of all that, we are now going to have now have a Copyright Czar in the Whitehouse. How Fascist is that?! It's like putting a ProIP lobbyist in the Precedent's cabinet. What am I saying Like
for? That exactly what it is!
Requiem for a Day Off
I know 2 videos in a row, but this was just to good to pass up. This is absolutely awesome. Unless you have never seen Ferris Bueller, then you won't get it.
JUNO Mark 2
I just finished watching the Juno Blu-ray. I have to say again how much I love this movie. It’s remarkably honest and real. While still manufacturing this surrealistic world that everybody wants to live in.
Things certainly aren’t perfect. Teenagers getting pregnant, couples getting divorced, Juno’s best friend is jail bait for her male teachers. But it all is so refreshingly honest it’s all beautiful.
Just buy it. You will love it… Even if it takes you half a dozen of viewings.
10 Must See Films
I found this list on the Brave New Traveler. It's a list of 10 films that have some very important messages. I would suggest watching all of them. I have not seen 3 of them and so have just added them to my Netflix queue. The rest I can wholeheartedly endorse as some of the best movies. Rent them all today if possible.
Suckuels
I recently read of a couple of lists of upcoming movie sequels. Some of them are expected, others are a little surprising. Most of them will inevitably suck harder than a Kirby. And those really are, the best vacuum cleaners in the world.
Greed for money is the root of all crappy sequels of movies that were great enough to stand on their own, without being turned into unintended trilogies.
Most sequels suck. It's not an original, or insightful idea, but one I just had to get out right now.
