The same geniuses who gave us “classic” movies like “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot,” “Gigli” and “Catwoman” are at it again. Only this time, their Hollywood flop isn’t just a bad-but-over-hyped movie, but a decision to stifle creativity and the rights of consumers.
As everyone knows, the music industry allows — and even encourages — us to download songs off of our personal cd and upload a personal copy to our computer and iPod. As a trade-off, we often purchase songs for $.99 from them. Millions of Americans do this every day. But the movie industry is so opposed to the modern notion that consumers should be permitted to take ownership of their own dvds that they actually sued — and were granted a temporary injunction against — an innovative product called RealDVD which would permit consumers to make personal copies of their dvd collection.
This lawsuit is so bad that even the LA Times authored an editorial this week, titled “Hollywood Control Freaks,” which says:
I respect Polish concert pianist Krystian Zimmerman’s moxie. Oh, he hasn’t a clue what he is talking about, but he has the courage of his convictions at least, which is more than I can say for all those wild-eyed, half-informed, hypocrites in the American entertainment industry.
Someone needs to sue Santa Monica High School for education malpractice on behalf of the ill-educated Sean Penn. I mean, the man is nearly illiterate and he certainly has no grasp on history, philosophy, or statecraft. But his wacko left-wing inanities aside, it is his illiteracy that seems the most lamentable. Oh, it isn’t Rosie O’Donnell illiterate, hers is a special class of insensibility all by itself, but Penn’s brand is proof of the lowest quality of education. I mean the man can barely put two words together sensibly much less exhibit a grasp of grammar and syntax. It really is a crime how badly he’s been educated.
Proving the old adage that instead of sitting quietly letting everyone think you are an idiot one should speak up and prove it, funnyman John Cleese and Kung Fu action star Jackie Chan recently did some talking that they should probably have avoided. Apparently unaware that they’ve left office, Cleese unloaded on George W. Bush and Dick Cheney and seemed to say U.S. Marines weren’t very sophisticated at a recent visit to Cornell University. For his part, Jackie Chan announced to the world that Chinese people “needed controlling” because all that darn democracy is just too “chaotic” for them. One wonders where Jackie thinks all his many millions of dollars have come from: communism or democracy?
Personally, I am thankful to providence for bestowing Woody Harrelson, zombie fighter, unto this earth to defend us all from those wayward and dangerous zombie paparazzi. Why, we’d be overrun with the shuffling menaces were it not for the brave and selfless actions of Woody Harrelson, zombie fighter!
Sing it…. “I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony, I feel Obama in the air he makes us all friendly, he’s the real thing” …. OK, maybe that wonderful sentiment can’t last. But, as
