So the MPAA has created a website RespectCopyrights.org asking people to stop pirating movies. I understand we shouldn't pirate movies and music, and I'm understand how all of the people involved in making movies are worried, but I have a thought, and I'm not sure how I can say this delicately...

How about you stop dumping SHIT all over the consumer? Why does every dickhead with a Brother Word Processor and half a movie idea seem to get a feature film made? I mean, what, we have "The Princess Diaries 8" coming out? And fucking Baby Geniuses 2 or whatever? People really got paid to make this tripe? Maybe if you concentrated on making more "Godfathers" and "Lord of the Rings" and movies like that, the really good epic films, we'd want to go to the movie theatre.

No, we get the "White Chicks" and "Legally Blonde 2" and heaping after heaping after heaping of pure garbage.

I'm not so naive to think that if we had good movies all the time there'd be less pirating, but I do think that if we the public were more respected by the movie studios, and the public had more respect for the craft of movie making, maybe things wouldn't be so ugly.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got an idea for "Cody Banks 11" where Frankie Muniz discovers he has chest hair. It's not a good premise, or hell, even a whole premise, but in Hollywood these days, it's apparently all I'll need.

Further Proof

As if you needed further proof that people have too much time on their hands, and we're getting soft in this country, GM has been asked to pull an ad from TV that depicts the dream of an 11-year-old boy who wants to drive a Corvette. They're complaint? That in the dream in the commercial, a computer-generated Corvette takes flight for a minute. The problem with that? Apparently it encourages "unsafe behavior".

GIVE ME A BREAK!
