...Well, THAT was particulary pointless and stupid.
Supermodels...spoiled stupid little stick figures mit poofy lips who sink only about zemselves.
im guessing this is in response to the other post?lol
shareI'm sure Europe will leave you alone, straight after you stop ripping off classic films due to the fact Hollywood has run out of ideas and become desperate.
So at the moment British TV shows are far superior to anything Hollywood vomits. Just take the recent 'Torchwood' 5 part story 'Children Of Earth'. That was probably one of the greatest things to appear on the TV and it knocked spots off anything that's in the cinemas right now.

taffy, what on Earth are you talking about? I've never ripped off a movie in my life.
Since you have these specific issues, and I can see you are incensed, why not write to the vomit inducers? Explain why you are so angry, and perhaps you can affect some change.
I'm not angry at all, I'm just bored and have no interest in the films being shown today at the dreary multiplex cinemas with their overpriced and deliberately oversized popcorn cartons.
Most films just aren't worth wasting the time or money on.
Okay I'm an old fart at 42 years of age who can remember most of the films that are being remade today. But surely even the average spotted youth is aware these films already exist in an earlier (and in most cases) far better version?
So I guess I'm just jaded and for me, the TV is providing far better entertainment at the moment. So much so that the high TV licence fee actually doesn't seem to be quite so bad right now.
I wish I could say the same about the cinema ticket prices.

I really don't think so. When you look at the vast amount of films out there, I think you can understand how much material there is out there for them to see.
I understand your position though, but seriously there is something to be done in voicing your frustrations. Write a letter to a studio after you've seen a particularly horrendous movie, you may find it at least makes you feel better.
When you say 'tv licensing fee' is that like a fee for cable/satellite (extra channels?)
No, in the UK (Great Britain) we all have to pay a 'TV Licence Fee'. It's an annual fee that has existed since the birth of the television set and the price is forever increasing.
So if you own a TV set, or a video recorder, DVD recorder or even if you're able to watch TV through your computer (i.e. you have a device that has a tuner capable of picking up TV signals), then you need a TV Licence.
Prior to TV there was a radio licence, but that was axed years ago.
If you don't posses a TV licence, then they send a special detector van around to your house and use it to detect whether you are picking up TV signals. If you are, then you get a nasty fine or even a court order.
As for complaining to the film studios, well Marc Whahlberg himself was on a TV Show here a few months back and even he said Hollywood couldn't care a stuff about classic films.
So sending a letter won't make me feel happier, but I can choose not to watch the rubbish and that'll certainly keep me happy.

To the OP, go back to the USA; that is, the United Stupidity of America.
