Actually I never saw White Chicks, nor will I. It is rather assuming of you to think that because I say something sucks, I actually mean "oh I want to see that" The problem with the industry, video games, movies, and music alike, is I've spent money on titles, that downright sucked. To me that is just unacceptable that there are thousands of independent artists and small companies making great material, where your big corporations settle for mediocre crap just to make a few dollars.
Personally I buy movies, music, games, anime, what have you on a fairly regular basis. I stopped downloading music (aside from anime) when Napster died and I've never downloaded movies. Why? Because the music these days has gone to crap and the good ones I've bought, and as far as movies, it's a waste of my time for a bad screener when I can wait to own/rent it.
I have no problem paying for things. But when I see the industry make something worth my hard earned dollar, I'll excuse them for wasting theirs on attacking everyone else.
Wow, HL2 and Blade 3 ok, but the other three movies suck, especially White Chicks. They need to sue over real stuff and not lame stuff.
Regardless I'll be interested to see what comes out of this suit, mostly because I think the MPAA is going to have a tougher time taking down a site that has no direct downloads of material and doesn't make money off of it (unless they take donations for bandwidth, dunno how that gets dealt with in court)
Personally I will flip a shit if they attempt to annex a site and then turn around and revive it to be the next corporate whore a la Napster. Because frankly I really think the RIAA/MPAA is just after these people because they beat them to every punch in a new age of digital distribution. Because if they got here first, they could make some good cash. But wait, I forgot, they are still stuck in the past selling 20 CD's and 9-10$ movi tickets half of the time for really horrible and cliche material. Maybe they outta put their money into making stuff worth spending money on instead of shoving it into pointless legal battles. Hell, Microsoft outta take the same advice.
Same here with my girlfriend and Starcraft. I figure one way people bridge the gap between video games and relationships is to play games both people like. Especially when your girlfriend is away to college across the country.
