Max is a Shadowblade, a supernatural--and supernaturally competent--warrior bound to protect her witch Giselle. As a Shadowblade, Max doesn't age. She is better, faster, stronger than any ordinary human being. And she hates it. Giselle betrayed her trust to make Max what she is, and though she is magically compelled to protect Giselle and follow orders, Max works against her witch in every way she can.

It is not just that, I studied Economic Crime Investigation and have written some papers on peer-to-peer file sharing, nothing major, but I did learn a lot. There reason why they go after the dealers and not the people downloading it is because it would be too easy to prove the following things for the defendant:
1) They own the original and what to have a back up copy (this is legal)
2) It was not me some one spoofed my IP or MAC address
3) It was not me I was not home, some one else was on my computer doing it
4) A hacker hijacked my computer and did it.
For these reasons it makes it A LOT easier to go after the person who is letting others download it from them. No you can not use #1 and #4 as excuses. #2 and #3 are now harder to prove because they police are tracking where it is coming from, and can then hold the own of the computer responsible even if they are not the one doing it.

Don't get me wrong I like hangings too, but I fail to see how the move FF is insulting to artiest. Yes abstract anime is cool, but what makes art so profound is the ability to work on details. FF shows us great detail in the animation of almost real looking animation. Sure the movie did not have the best of anything else but it is that attention to detail that made the movie stand out.
Sure animators COULD have done that along time ago, but the thing is that anyone could have done just about any piece of art at any time; the trick is to be the first one to do it......

actually they can not press charges for people downloading the information it is only when you let others upload it that allows the police to take actions

what happened about this thread being about Google Earth, which by the way has some areas as old as 5 years and some as new as a year......hard to tell which parts are old and which are new. They did a good job all together

I don't think we're losing creativity as a nation. I think the phenomenon of the remake is a symptom of entrenched MBAs in the film and TV industry. They don't like taking chances on new ideas, it's risky for the bottom line. They vastly prefer to go with some sort of known good and remakes are, by definition, known good.
If anything we as a nation are less vociferous in our objection to the lack of creativity in movies and TV than we should be.
I think the creativity is there but is being ignored by vested interests.
I like what your saying here...there is some creative spirt left but it is mostly independent work that has the most original ideas.
I too like your new Avatar......its beautiful

I was a big FF fan till about FF8 for the PS....now there games for the must part suck, thats for a different thread. FF movie was a great visual movie, and I enjoyed the rest of the movie to...however the new one looks like it is going to be amost a complete conversion of game to movie. It is based off of FF7 and the CG should be just as good as the first one

just had this conversation with my girl friend.....
G/F: "So I just donated my hair to cancer"
Me: "why does cancer need your hair?"
G/F: "Because people are trying to elimate them so they
needed a costume"
Me: "What?"

Unfortunately as a society we are losing all creative ideas. Just thing about it, how many songs, shows, and movies are remakes to older books, songs, shows, and movies. In order to keep people buying into the old stuff redone they have to change it enough in order to have so originality to it. Most time they use better special effects, different look, and other items of that nature. This lead so a new futuristic twist to the same old stuff....which most times makes it seem like it is darker then the original
