My 2009 Summer Movie List

The Watchmen (March 6)
Yet to see. I'll wait for the DVD rip. =)


X-Men Origins: Wolverine (May 1)
Rotten Tomatoes gave it a bad score. I had high expectations for this. Guess I'll have to wait for the DVD rip.


Star Trek (May 8)
YES!!!


Angels and Demons (May 15)
The first one was good so I'll give the 2nd film a chance.


Terminator Salvation (May 22)
This is a must see for me. Cyberdyne Systems! I heard there could be a small clip of the governator.


Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (June 26)
The first one sucked ass but I'll guess I'll watch it because of the branding and franchise.


Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (July 1)
It must be good since it's scheduled to release on the HUGE weekend. Only very good movies get the Canada Day and Independence day weekend release slot.


Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (July 17)
NO. I haven't seen any Harry Potter films.. and don't plan to start.


G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra (August 7)
Yo Joe!

The Power of Branding

So I went to watch Disney's Earth over the weekend at the theaters It was a pretty moving experience....until I went to the Sony Store the day after and saw the EXACT same footage on Blu Ray that I saw the night before!!!

Disney Nature Films made an arrangement with the film producer BBC Planet Earth to use its footage and distributed it by the masses with the Disney name brand. ... and to collect big bucks.


The Disney's version was narrated by Darth Vader (James Earl Jones) with exactly the same words from the BBC documentary.


Here's a clip from BBC's Planet Earth:

Canada placed on copyright blacklist

No news here. First Markham Place, Pacific Mall.
You can never win with free.


Globe and Mail April 30, 2009

The Obama administration added Canada Thursday to a notorious blacklist of countries where Internet piracy flourishes, reflecting a new, tougher line in Washington over the Harper government's chronic failure to deliver on promises of new copyright laws.

“Canada has never been put on the priority watch list before,” said Stanford McCoy, assistant U.S. trade representative for intellectual property and innovation as he released Washington's annual report or offenders.

Canada now joins a group of countries designated as being especially lax in protecting intellectual property, including Algeria, China, Russia, Pakistan, Indonesia and Venezuela. No other advanced Western democracy is on the list and Canada is regarded as a lawless hub for bootleg movies, ripped-off software and pirated chips that bypass copyright protections.

I hate dumb managers

Especially dumb managers who e-mail you with instructions to email others WHEN THEY CAN DO IT THEMSELVES!

“Hi Eddie, I see that you and I are copied on Wendy’s email. Can you send a reply to her and tell her to change the status to green? Thanks.”


“Okay boss.”
FWD: email to Wendy

They're triplets!
