Sites Holmquist trys, and often fails, to go no more than a couple of days without visiting (some of which Holmquist regularly swipes links from without attribution)
That "Movies. They're worth it" commercial that runs before movies is ridiculous but not because of the message. I'll leave you to evaluate the merits of piracy since have very mixed feelings. I'm more than happy to pay for films like Lost in Translation (Sofia Coppola, 2003) and think you should feel the same way. At the same time a film industry that has taught the public to treat Lost in Translation as an "art film" and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Marcus Nispel, 2003) as mainstream fare shouldn't be shocked when the public treats their films as something to bargain hunt for.
I'm not saying that this isn't true, just that it is certainly funny and a message I doubt many public relations specialists would advocate. posted by micah holmquist at 10/23/2003 02:23:00 AM
