If anyone here ever says that Tony Stark or one of the other Avengers is quipping too much I say show them this movie and they'll change their tune.<br /><br />The performances are super broad, the villain ridiculous with Jack Palance looking the whole time like he just found Curly's Gold. That being said this flick was wonderful junk food time for me- even the part where spoiler alert Jack Palance goes into his hall of mirrors he has in his office for some reason. I misd good buddy cop movies, when was the last good one (minus the spooflike 22 Jump Street)TOMBARTMAN454@GMAIL.COMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14372444818664534482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-62479237039577577362015-05-03T22:09:32.808-05:002015-05-03T22:09:32.808-05:00BLOW OUT!!!!

Or (a) trading a bank teller or someone else two legal $10 bills for a legal $20 bill, vs. (b) trading someone two legal $5 bills for a counterfeit $20 bill. With a used movie sale (Blu-ray, DVD, VHS, other), like with any other bought and sold physical product, the 2nd sale can be eliminated, while producing the same individual expenditures and chain of control and custody of the item. If Jack buys a $20 Blu-ray on Day 1, and 1 year later, sells it to Jill used for $10, the effect would be roughly the same as if Jill had originally given Jack $10 for the two of them to buy the Blu-ray on Day 1, with Jack maintaining control and custody of the item for the first year, and Jill maintaining control and custody of the item after that. With a pirated movie sale, if the 2nd sale is eliminated, this is akin to Jack and Jill buying a $20 Blu-ray on Day 1, then making a copy of the Blu-ray, such that at some point after that, Jack and Jill now each have their own separate copies of the Blu-ray to maintain control and custody over. Whoever keeps the original Blu-ray has sacrificed nothing, while the person who keeps the illegal copy now has illegally produced intellectual property belonging to someone else. My observation is that, in the age of digital media, this type of equivalency argument is more often than not used to support the proposition that producers are being ripped off by used physical media sales, and therefore they should be eliminated, rather than the proposition that there’s nothing morally wrong with piracy. As Sol wrote, used sales basically go hand in hand with the market for sale of new items, affecting new unit prices and new units purchased. However, piracy eats away at that model. Legal producers can’t possibly adjust prices to account for it.Ryan Whitneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-47498248965530807812015-05-03T12:15:33.497-05:002015-05-03T12:15:33.497-05:00And by that logic, if you borrow a movie from a fr...And by that logic, if you borrow a movie from a friend, you're "stealing it," etc. etc. As soon as you try to justify stealing by saying that any form of movie viewing that doesn't directly benefit the creator is essentially as bad, you just create an endless stream of justifications. Besides, buying used DVDs from, say, a record store or a smaller movie seller promotes the sale of movies in general, so the logic is flawed anyway.Tim Smedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09824805812900026614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-30616600587770538312015-05-03T12:15:09.904-05:002015-05-03T12:15:09.904-05:00A used copy means a copy was originally bought, so...A used copy means a copy was originally bought, so while Fox might not make any money off the $2 you pay for <i>Night at the Museum</i> (the 'you' in this case has terrible taste), they did make money off the person that bought it the first time. A pirated movie puts money in the pocket of no one. Plus, DVD is a one-to-one ratio, meaning each person buys a copy for him/herself; pirated movies need one copy and can be viewed by millions.<br /><br />It's so far from being the same fucking thing that you should question your friendship with this person.Patrick Bromleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771837625286775607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-18988968953089349112015-05-03T12:09:36.268-05:002015-05-03T12:09:36.268-05:00You and I are on the same page, May 1st I was very...You and I are on the same page, May 1st I was very happy about it being only a month away!

I've always liked De Palma but this was enough to catapult him up to one of my favourite directors (really good interview with him on the Criterion disc as well). I was even able to look past recent Travolta creepiness to really enjoy his performance as well. It's a great movie fan movie too as there are several filmmaking processes shown in lingering and loving detail - highly recommend it to everyone here.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03114869401584310369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-86030652243173572722015-05-03T11:05:18.575-05:002015-05-03T11:05:18.575-05:00In terms of putting money in the pockets of studio...In terms of putting money in the pockets of studios/filmmakers I suppose there isn't much difference (though there's a possibility that the original buyer might not have bought it if he wasn't factoring in the resell so buying a used copy retroactively facilitating the original sale), but the moral difference should be obvious to anyone not just trying to justify immoral behaviour.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03114869401584310369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-23454551126523944772015-05-03T07:24:24.697-05:002015-05-03T07:24:24.697-05:00That's like saying stealing a kid is like adop...That's like saying stealing a kid is like adopting one.
