This amusing flow chart illustrates how a DVD treats you when you buy a legitimate copy versus a pirated copy. It’s pretty spot-on.

Red Letter Media Avatar Review

 

Mr. Plinkett — the possible murderer behind the brilliant 7-part Star Wars Episode I review — returns with his thoughts on “Avatar” to tide us over until the Attack of the Clones review is released. And, of course, it’s amazing.

I don’t know how, but this guy always manages to perfectly nail the things I want to express about these movies, but can’t find the words to because of my anger or lack of eloquence.

Red Letter Media, the group behind these reviews, also has a new webzone up — http://redlettermedia.com

The inexplicable, unexpected brilliance of a 70-minute movie review

 

Earlier today I ran across this link to a seven-part video review of  The Phantom Menace and immediately dismissed it due to it’s length.

Making of the Computer Graphics for Star Wars

Monty Python 40th Anniversary

 

How did I miss this? In honor of Monty Python’s 40th anniversary, there’s a live show from today through 10/10 at Town Hall in New York. And then on the 15th, the new documentary Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyer’s Cut) will be screening at the Ziegfeld, with all of the Python members in attendance (except the dead one).

I hope if you’re going to this, you have fun and think of me. Here’s a New York Magazine article about it:
