Aliens, bling and copyright fuss
meltingpot of ideas?
watched MIB lately (ok, for the nth time) and like most alien movies it was pretty funny and unintentionally thought provoking; the world as a marble game of alien beings- hmm and the greeks thought that men were the playthings of the gods - dark humour or just human progression?!
and ever wondered why females feature so un-prominently in alien movies- apart from the shriek effect that is- ? ok, some are referring to sigourney weaver but seriously, give her a bandanna and you have Fambo. Feminised characters are usually vases or worse they are the scary aliens (you guessed it - species) an interpretation of venus trap?

Irony overcooked may be defined as movie/music stars all decked with blingbling moaning about how piracy and internet illegal downloads are depriving the industry of profits. Hello! the industries are in need of a reality check money wise. Contrary to what industry bigwigs are saying - mebbe these stars may produce beter movies and music if they earned a little less!
Besides, mebbe a big part of the costs may be reduced by the studios "distributing the movies directly to the consumer" via downloads and internet sales points . After all, you don't have to be a fan of CSI to know that cinemas are often a healthhazard and disaster scenario in the wings! Most importantly, why should consumers be expected to further fatten up the wallets of industry bigwigs who don't give a damn about the industry apart from the profits!
