Um, yeah, they had enough private investors when it was free that the programmers were able to pay themselves pretty well.

Hey, remember Napster?
It was free, and then it wasn't.

TOBIN. SPROUT.
AWESOME.

If it's based on how I played with Legos, I will eat this movie piece by piece. Then in the third act, much to the doctor's relief, I poop the whole movie out safely.

"strong if not stronger than ever."
Vince P would like a word with you.

That don't kill me / can only make me stronger
Your wack rhymes stink / like a 19th century fishmonger

"that which does not kill me makes me stronger,"
I knew Nietzsche stole all his good lines from someone else. He's the Diddy of perspectivism.

So is he only going to do crappy Christmas films now? I can't wait for the "Mannheim Steamroller and Robert DeNiro IMAX Spectacular on Ice in 3-D" in 2011.

Great book
but I'm not sure if the Cronenberg brand of romance is compatible for what is basically a very sweet, absurdist love story.

2 = to? u = you?
Um, these are Michael Jackson lyrics, not Prince lyrics. Show some fucking respect, Predicto Mobile.

It takes a long time to track down a Lady Gaga recording on an Phonograph Cylinder. You can't just take your horse and buggy down to Gimbles and pick that shit up.

Thanks for sticking it out guys. I've really enjoyed your coverage.

Missed Tribe Called Quest . . .
. . .to see The Verve.

In the movie?

OH SNAP, MISLED
I clicked on the headline thinking it was going to be a story about another posthumous release, this time involving someone making a remix album of 2Pac and Biggie's flows on the same tracks. As in "wax = vinyl".

Which leads to the obvious joke about what the sequel would be called . . .

The ice will be replaced with fire, the hurricane will be replaced with a tsunami, Peter Cetera will be replaced with the ghost of Patrick Swayze singing "Hungry Eyes", and instead of that 20 minute tea ceremony they will just start doing lines of coke in the bathroom of a Starbucks.

Really? A riot at South Street Seaport?
That's like running corners at Epcot.

Hey John, how much 3DS time do you think they'll give you? My biggest fear with the 3D technology is that it's going to work fine except for that after using it for 20 minutes you get a massive soul-crushing headache, like the old IMAX 3D glasses.

Thanks, everyone!
