Comm 203 megaupload thing -late-

      I've never been a big fan of downloading movies. I love to watch illegally streaming shows and movies however. With movies i really don't see how illegal downloads could possibly help the film industry what so ever. With shows I find this to be a slightly different case, if there is a show i hear about that i want to watch i might go and find the streaming of all the previous shows, however if im flicking through the t.v. and that show is on im going be more inclined to watch it due to the exposure i've already gotten from the it online. If it is a HBO or Stars show i usually will just find it online. With all this being said i still thoroughly enjoy have a DVD in my hand just so i can take it from place to place which it where there is a dvd player and is then something i can own or even collect.

Comm 203 videogames and layoffs -this is also late-

      People being laid off and unemployed is usually a very tragic thing, even more so when these people help produce something im very fond of, in this case video games. With that being said combine the current economic state with a highly invested and popular entertainment market and it really isn't that surprising. While losing a job is terrible if they are talented and skilled at their work the videogame market seems continue to thrive and that i would imagine that finding another job in the same market couldn't be too hard.

Comm 203, Argo blog post -this is late btw-

      The story line behind Argo seems pretty awesome. The CIA creating a movie in order to sneak out american hostages is bad ass. In my opinion the relationship between the government and Hollywood is pretty unique. The usage of Hollywood starts giving out PSA is something i find to be a very good heartede and smart maneuver  As long as they don't have Charlie Sheen telling people to stay off drugs. The idea of using actual military members as extras as forms of recruiting seem to be failures more than usual, Act of Valor used real life military personal as the main actors, but because their soliders and not actors the action in the movie was cool but the movie itself was bad so i would say that it was unsuccessful. Battleship is another example of this except the main actors where not military but that many of the extra's were, this was also a fluke of a movie.
