Yr City's A Sucker is one of those songs which I can, inexplicably, put on repeat for literally hours and never get bored with. Absolutely love it.

"It builds and then goes off the rails at the end" describes like 90% of LCD Soundsystem tracks. Which is awesome. LCD Soundsystem is awesome. I am going to go listen now, too!

Good gods, yeah. I couldn't make it past that intro.

Nice! World of Tomorrow was awesome when I saw it at the wifilmfest earlier this year. It'll be nice to have a high-quality copy of it.

Epcot's where it's at.

A "pass" is what you give someone who's in the wrong about something. The term's not even applicable in this case. The network did something it shouldn't have which legitimately impacted the broadcast of his performance, and his reps sent out a note saying that he wasn't happy about that. There's no "pass" to give…

I dunno, that response hardly qualifies as a "tantrum," and it *is* pretty lame that they were censoring 30 seconds at a time, over lyrics which aren't objectionable. The response here seems pretty justified.

I enjoyed the analog-TV distortion on the mother's cellphone in the trailer up there. Totally a failure mode you'd expect from a modern display!

I love that that defense is basically "his vision is so bad that he literally can't tell if he's just hit anything." Like it'd be totally fine to drive a car with that condition. "It's okay, he taps his cane out the car window as he goes!"

RUB IT ON YOUR FLIPPERS

Ha, Wisdom Tooth was just amazing. I'd forgotten about that one…

You are severely overestimating the computer skills of the
majority of would-be pirates by assuming they even know what Bittorrent
is, let alone how to use it.

As soon as a single person's circumvented any given DRM scheme, though, the whole question of skill becomes irrelevant. You only need one person to be sufficiently knowledgeable/driven and your DRM is useless. Slightly reducing the pool of people who are competent enough to put together a torrent for Media X does…

Nah, I don't buy it, mainly because I don't think there's an important distinction between "casual" and "non-casual" pirates. If someone wants to see X and doesn't want to pay for it, they just Google it, find a torrent, and get their content. That scenario is completely unchanged whether or not the uploader…

Heh, do we need to have a discussion now about how ineffective DRM is at preventing piracy? I have no doubt that there's plenty of piracy of Rifftrax content, but it's not the lack of DRM that's the problem there. If it was, I wouldn't be able to just type in "Any Movie Ever torrent" into Google and have a…

I still get pissed off that in general there's no such thing as DRM-free digital purchases for movies. If I'm going to buy a movie, I want some sense of permanence about the ownerhip, rather than just purchasing a generally revokable license to watch the movie under whatever restraints the content provider feels like…

Hmmm, interesting. I really enjoyed Cabin, but I'm much more of a sci-fi geek than a horror fan. It'd be fun to do a survey of fiction preferences graphed against Cabin enjoyment…

It's like those copyright-infringing youtube videos with a "No copyright infringement intended!" in the comments. Who do you think you're fooling, uploaders?

Ha, no - this is quite glorious. I would happily watch the entire movie redone like this.

Heh, I'd have to agree. Though honestly that plus the second disc of the "special edition" seemed to improve my opinion of Quaristice itself. At the time I'd assumed that it was just the effect of having an extra three hours of music from a similar headspace to inhabit or something, so that when I went back to…
