Great series and addictive with the cliffhangers. Burned through four seasons in a couple weeks before I started watching week to week. Last season was a bit weak. Rest are great.

If you're watching with the wife, check out ALIAS next. Action, hot chick, and women like it.

Byrds. Distinctive guitar.

Velvet Underground. Viola!

Sex Pistols. At the time. Imitated to death by bands like Green Day.

Great song and great cover by Alejandro. Saw him in BR a couple years ago.

Sure you saw some great shows if you lived in Austin those years.

The U. S. Constitution allows for copyrights to exist to advance the arts. How so? Artists are compensated for their work.

Netflix spends hundreds of millions of dollars to secure the legal right to distribute content. TV networks do as well.

The legal owner of the song, film, book, etc is paid. Not much usually but something. That's why people put out effort and create and can afford to continue to create in the future.

The laws have extended. Sony Bono was in Congress and was a friend to the industry (and his heirs) and helped to extend it.

Walt Disney faces major issues. Pooh and Micky Mouse may both be public domain soon, costing that company hundreds of millions.

Peter Pan went public domain. The money from the copyright had been funding a children's hospital or orphanage. They lost the income when it hit public domain.

China is notorious for ignoring intellectual property law. There are even entire fake Apple stores there.

Software company spends a hundred million to develop Halo 5. Without piracy laws, why would they bother?

Musicians have been forced to change their models for Income. Most make money these days by touring or licensing music. Napster changed that business forever.

This is how I make my living through these property rights you say don't exist.

Think the problem is the ease of theft. If people could steal gas by surfing the net anonymously and stealing gas, they'd do it.

Which version?

Shawshank shower rape.


Rape is implied in the climax (as it were) of Streetcar Named Desire causing Blanche's final break with reality.

Then you're ignoring reality.

Mega-budget films that require a theater experience are replacing smaller budget films.

Many of the artists from the 60s saw a modest retirement disappear once people stopped paying for music.

Theft of intellectual property is stealing. The artists are the ones that suffer. WGA had to strike to get paid from net streaming.

Not a date movie. But a great movie.

Put it behind Godfather 2 and Raging Bull on his best films list.

I liked it. Dark comedy. Not a classic but worth a watch. Some surprises.

Horrible. Trailer was horrible.

Sandler seems to be in total contempt of his audience ... what's left of it.

"Toss me and my buddies $60 million to make POS movies."

Maybe the medical pot makes everything seem funny? Can't explain how awful Sandler's films are otherwise.

A French mobster/prison film worth watching:

A PROPHET.

Science Channel has a show like this as well.
