frrom WWdn:

I wandered around the con some more, talked to a lot of people, and managed to completely miss BIlly West’s talk, where I hear he announced that there will be new episodes of Futurama on FOX either later this year or early next year. I spoke with Billy after he was done, and he gave me enough industry-specific details to assure me that this is for real, so get ready for hawesomeness.

HAWESOME !!!

Read his full story here. Including a funny chat he had with Jonathan Frakes.

Here’s a nice lecture about piracy:

It’s an hour long, but worth the watch.

And a nice article about The Pirate bay which take a stand against the evil MPAA and the evil corporates behind them which keep making us change torrent sites..
If they only realized that they can’t stop piracy. They only bother and bug and nag pirates until they find a new source to download their stuff, and learn to hate the MPAA and the companies they represent..

After the pirates win this round, they can sit in their Throne made out of 4000 cd’s

We saw a movie called “Interstate 60” last night.
Great movie about life, and choices.
It’s been waiting for us to see for a few years now, but finally we got to see it, and it was worth the wait !
Great funny movie that leaves you with that warm feeling at the end and with some questions about your own life.

Also, for you, sci-fi and back to the future geeks, go to the Bttf delorean site, and watch the short film they have there.

I can sum it in one word: Depressing.

That was the most boring and depressing academy award show ever. I didn’t find any find worthwhile motion pictures nominated for almost no category !

Is comedy a dying art ?
The only comedy the Osacars have are the award presentaoin itself. Besides downloading the award show itself, i downloaded a cut down, short version of only John Stwewart’s parts of the event. I think i would have been better off only watching that…

Comedy, humor and laughter are the most important of emotions, but the academy people disregards it.
They also showed an oscar montage of “epic” films. Almost none of which were nominated for Oscars. It is ironic that when looking back at what are undoubtly the greatest movies of thier era were through the montages it’s obvious that the “Best motion picture” Oscar award clearly isn’t corelated with the movies that history regards as the best movies..

Another note, also Oscar related, but more social related:
Sexual Equality


From what I’ve been told by a sign at a flower shop i went nearby, today, is the International woman’s day.
In honor of a day that I think serves the opposite purpose I argue this:
A. Women do not want equality. Women want supiriority.
B. As of yet, Women do not have equality. They are still being discriminated. Correctivly Discriminated. Which still furthers them from equality.
C. Assuming sexual equality should be a desired goal by the human race, there’s no room for 2 diffrent acting categories for men and women, isn’t there ?
Is female acting any diffrent from male acting, is the sense that we (as a society) award the performance of an actor ?
If we want sexual equality, without discriminations, these little things should be changed.
I call the academy of motion picture to join up the two best actor categories of the two diffrent sexes..


Either that, or make a new category for “Best Gay Performance by a male actor” (and another one for the lesbians)…

In an article about Terry Gilliam and his work, he is quoted saying the following:

“If you’re going to pirate, though, make sure the quality’s good. Have some respect for what you’re pirating!”

Words of wisdom.
I said similar things many times, I have the most high respect for quality, and for the artists behind a motion picture event, be it cinematic or tv.
