I really enjoyed it.

The only shitty part is that we had to drive all the way to South Lake to see it. I don't know why, it's not like it's an indie film. You figure at least one theater in Reno, or Carson would be showing it.

It sounds like a pretty entertaining movie from what I read on IMDB.

OT: I think Ellen Page is going to be the next big actress. She killed it (no pun intended) in Hard Candy and I heard she was amazing in the indie film "Mouth To Mouth."

She's just not pretty enough though.



The next big thing will be the writer Diablo Cody for that film.

She is pretty, but there is something odd about her I can't pin down.

What's a good bit torrent client? I tried Bitlord and it sucked.

I use Azureus(the old version). I really have nothing to compare it to. I assume that more depends on the torrent file itself rather then the program used to download it.

A decent screener finally came out and I watched it tonight. I really enjoyed this movie. It was off-beat enough to be funny without being cheesy or Napoleon Dynamite-ish and as expected, Ellen Page did a great job.

Lisa and I just got back from seeing it. 9/10. I mean, it's no Mannequin II: On The Move but it's a very good movie... nothing groundbreaking, but a great flick; funny, sad, (dare I say it) even a little heartwarming.

I saw it yesterday. It was good, but it's not as much comedy as I expected. Still, it was very...charming.

Can somebody get me an invite code for supertorrents.org please?

Torrents are like the internet downloading equivalent of street racing.

Nah, they're the equivalent of shop lifting.

Now that really depends on the situation. Are you in a nice part of town, or in an upscale shopping district, what kind of shoes the women has, how she's holding it, what kind of strap the bag has on it. That question is way to vague.

...actually, it's not a terrific analogy, but just like street racers are breaking the law to do something that's really not that hard to do legally under the pretext of "saving money" or "there are no tracks to race at" or "but we do it safely", people that download movies illegally are doing the same thing under the pretext of "saving money" or "the laws are unjust so I'll break them as I see fit in protest" or "I wouldn't have bought it anyway", etc.

Yah, but you don't risk killing people when you file share (unless you download "The Ring"). It's really more like shop lifting.

So why would I DL music and movies illegally but not shopflift? I believe that if your property can't be protected, it's free game. It's like having a house with no walls or fences in the bad part of town, and nobody is ever home. You know your CD collection is going to get ganked. Put up some frickin' walls and put a lock on the door already.
