Here is an article describing the reaction in the blogosphere to the admission form the MPAA that they had exaggerated the percentage of their profit losses that stems from illegal movie downloading. Like the RIAA these people use heavy handed and potentially illegal harassment tactics. The movie industry also attempted to place the blame for its falling profits on the video gaming industry. They fail to accept the reality that what they are producing is not entertaining. They are at least not entertaining enough for a person to pick up their twenty dollars, lug its moral weight out to their car, drive to the cineplex and hand that hard-earned money to the stoned high school drop out behind the terrorist proof glass. Ooh and what a variety of equeally attractive choices the temple to Hollywood offers. Should you select, 27 dresses? Over her dead body? National Treasure? Juno? Mad Money? Water Horse? The Bucket List? Untraceable? Cloverfield? Rambo? Oh the choices do go on and on. How can you pick? I think the only reason people actually go to these movies is because they have terribly depressing lives that if they were to think about their life at all they would be compelled to suicde. Even the commercials for these movies make me tear at my own flesh. Given the choice between National Treasure and death, I suppose I would go to National Treasure. Oh and don't forget the fucking recession.
