As I saw this movie, I can't believe Katz trashed it so much! It wasn't a 5 star movie, but geez, give it some slack. Granted, it didn't have too much of a plot, but I think the CGI was quite incredible, and that in itself entertained me for 1hrs 42mins. I didn't expect it to be perfect.. I mean geez.. just because their voices weren't perfectly matched sometimes is no cause to trash the hell out of it. The is the first time this has been done with simulated people. With Toy Story, there was plenty of "off voices", but that was "forgiven" cause it was cartoony. Try to stop looking at the bad and look at the good. This was a great effort to create a pseudo-real movie with some incredible animation. Definitely a turning point for the movie industry. Totally worth going to see.. Don't expect walking out of there going "Oh my god, that was the best movie I've ever seen".. but expect to go "Wow.. that was entertaining, and the animation was great.. did you see the hair and pores on the peoples faces? Very cool!" I know people who code or are graphic designers will definitely be in awe of this movie, and appreciate it for what it is, a work of art, not necessarily a plot-driven movie. Ignore the plot, go see it for the visuals.. (Matinee if you are really cheap.. did you do that Katz?)
Go there.. download your pirate songs/software/books and have fun. I'd like to see the RIAA tackle a de-centralized file sharing system. Screw them, and their $15 cd's which cost them $2 to make..
And what ever happened to that settlement out of court, that found the Record Industry guilty of price fixing? I don't see the cost of CD's in my local record stores dropping one bit. I thought they were supposed to lower them to $11..
Bah.. Greed.. I'd pay money for napster if I knew it went straight to the artist.. no middle man, no execs.. music for the people..
Hello?! Has anyone ever thought of that the public pibrary in essence does the same thing as Napster? You can go to your library, check out copyrighted books, music, and videos. The authors/musicians/actors get no compensation for this. Why aren't they shutting down the libraries for "sharing copyrighted material with the community".
It's the reinvention of the X-RAY GLASSES! You too can see through SOLID MATTER (and clothes). Improves the vision of even people with 20/20 eyesight! Impress your friends!

Hello.. not everyone in the world runs linux. Would be nice if they released Solaris pkg's along with the release :(
