That's a tasering!
[Read the article: Apple's 24-hour movie rental limit? Easily hackable]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Changing the clock on you computer is a crime no less a threat to the sanctity and integrity of Hollywood itself!!!
This has to be a class one felony and an act of terrorism against those who guide, teach and nurture us with their laudable work and high moral principles.
'Don't change your clock if you can't do the time.'
We need to have another psycho cop show where they go after the real villains in the world - clock changers!!!!! We should have detectionvans driving through neighborhoods with a wi-fi interogator that can connect to your computer and see if the time is right and if it isn't the right time then you will do time.
You know that new Apple notebood without the dvd drive? Well, if you buy a DVD of a movie, they can only charge you once. Without a DVD player, you are supposed to rent a movie and download it and that way everytime you want to watch it, they can charge you and Steve Jobs gets a cut.
I wish that Atari was still making computers. the new Mac finally caught up with the Atari idea of having the OS on a chip instead of a drive. It should boot up just as fast as my Atari 1040 STE. Welcome to the future Apple - about 20 years behind Atari.

Just what was wrapped in that apology?
[Read the article: Chris Matthews' mea culpa]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]We have THAT unfortunate affair of Bill Clinton brought up not merely once, but twice - what a brave woman.
Well did he really have to bring that up twice or is it treating the viewers like the chumps that they are.
SUCKERS!
How can anyone take anything that man says seriously?
Saturday Night Live can't even touch that level of comedy.
You know the defense contractors who sponsor those shows are laughing their tails off.
To them we are all just SUCKERS.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Good point about commercials. I think I'll wait until it's on television because the commercials will add a lot of content to the experience. Hopefully ABC will show it instead of LOST one night.
That scheherezade thing thing went sour real fast JJ.
Until I see Cloverfield on the tube, I am keeping the image of the monster as a large polar bear with a noxious black cloud emanating from its nether regions.
Sometimes these screenplays are not about an event or a thing, but they are about the author and/or director revealing their innermost selves.
TAKE THAT!, MS LIBERTY!!!

technique vs. art
[Read the article: "Cloverfield"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]oh ye defenders, i am simply unimpressed by LOST. It is all technique and no art. Aside from tune in next week because we gave you another hook it says nothing and does nothing. No he has the Blair Witch Project technique down and I really don't want to sit through.
I sort of expect JJ to play the adrenalin and shock and stress ,but i really doubt he has the capability to make me think of feel anything because his characters are props, not people, and they aren't even good or bad, How could they be, they are just cardboard cutouts. Those back stories are just technique for the purpose of playing the audience just to stall and delay because that is the whole point of the technique.
You would get more content from someone of psych meds.
I admire his skill with technique, but that's all he has got.
But these projects don't get made without backing and that means that some psych pros will stick in their special memes, spins, political angles, bad behavior models and marketing hooks, which i wouldn't mind if it was a person or artist doing it but it is generally some corporation or ideological group adding "value" to the product. Well done movies with nothing in them worthwhile except for some cons, a thrill and a shock or two.
The only art i see here is hype and that you don't have to pay for. I also missed Snakes on a Plane. Some movies are best used as an excuse to get in out of the heat and enjoy the air conditioned comfort of the theatre. It's a little too cold outside for that.
