…I wouldn’t have had to spend 2 minutes carefully removing stickers from my newly acquired Hellboy volume 8. And there is still Sticky Stuff on it!
Look, I am not asking for much in life. Sad then, that I can’t even have that.
Seriously marketing-people, do you honestly believe that there are anyone buying volume 8 of the Hellboy Comic Book that don’t already know that it is now a Major Motion Picture? Anyone at all?
…
On a somewhat amusing side-note, Wordpress suggested that I correct “Comicbook” to “Gamecock”. I wonder why.
I am posting this from Google Docs. Why? Well, because I wanted to see if I could. The thing I like about Google Docs is that I trust their servers more that I trust my own hard-drive. And it auto-saves like crazy.
EDIT: Damn. Titles and tags didn’t work. Tags I could probably do without, but titles? Oh, how I love you, Titles!
I just read this article on wired which i found very interesting. I would like to say something profound about how I see the future of file sharing and the distribution of movies, but I can’t really come up with anything.
Instead you get this quote from the article:
The Pirate Bay is a BitTorrent tracking site in Sweden with 150,000 users a day. In the fall, it posted a torrent for Shrek 2. Dreamworks sent a cease-and-desist letter demanding the site remove it. One of the site’s pseudonymous owners, Anakata, replied: “As you may or may not be aware, Sweden is not a state in the United States of America. Sweden is a country in northern Europe [and] US law does not apply here. … It is the opinion of us and our lawyers that you are fucking morons.” Shrek 2 stayed up.
Do not take it as though I think that downloading movies is a good thing. It is not; it is illegal. I just don’t like the movie industry’s attitude. Serves them right.
Also, later, hopefully, I’ll have up another post.
