An anonymous reader wrote to mention CNNMoney's coverage of the latest round of MPAA lawsuits targeting end users. From the article: "The civil suits against unnamed "John Doe" defendants seek up to $150,000 per downloaded digital file and come as the film industry prepares for its annual Oscar telecast in Hollywood where awards for top films and stars are given out."

    Anyone else finds that this year's top nominees are utter shitte? Aviator - so shallow and, for once, with no passion to aviation whatsoever. Story lines jump without any development. Dropping the fact that it's based on real story I'd say it's 4/10 at best. Started watching "Ray", but it's the same story IMO. I guess last great Hollywood movie I watched was "Master and Commander" (2003). What was the best US movie of 2004 in your opinion?
