films

Recently I bought the a box collection of BBC comedy The Vicar of Dibley after enjoying the content I did not turn off the DVD in time and I caught the advert against piracy which included the amazing news that “piracy supports organized crime” and “piracy supports terrorism”

This type of false propaganda annoys me on several levels. So ok I can accept that there may be a link between organized crime and piracy but terrorism???

So what between planning to fly an airplane into a building and bombing innocent civilians, terrorists sitting in caves mass pirate dvds and upload films on the Internet? What a load of bull!

Actually another thing that annoys me about dvd’s is the compulsory and very annoying copyright and piracy infomercials in the begining. It almost makes you want to be a pirate – at least they cut away that crap. If I buy a dvd I actually think it should be my right to be able to jump past the annoying useless stuff in the begining.

Everyone needs a useless list. Especially on a Friday. Among the more interesting useless is the 100 worst films (ever). This comes from the Internet Movie Database. Here are the worst ten films ever:

90.	2.3	Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla (1952)	671
91.	2.3	The Quick and the Undead (2006)	803
92.	2.3	Kazaam (1996)	9,637
93.	2.3	Levottomat 3 (2004)	1,660
94.	2.3	Shark: Rosso nell’oceano (1984)	1,018
95.	2.3	Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie (1997)	3,077
96.	2.3	House IV (1992)	797
97.	2.3	Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 (2000)	31,463
98.	2.3	The Last Sign (2005)	972
99.	2.3	Track of the Moon Beast (1976)	1,254
100.	2.3	American Soldiers (2005)	1,417

Makes me want to go and rent them!
