DAVID'S VLOG - 001

S. 978 >> WHAT?

Hey guys, it's David.

I just wanted to let you all know about a bill being passed that would make electronic distribution of copyrighted material illegal in the united states. The idea of this bill is to ban pirating of TV shows and movies, but in it's current form, the bill would make it illegal to do any sort of game commentary, karaoke videos and similar material, since all of that is technically copyrighted by various companies. Why have these company's not pushed for this bill before now? PROMOTION. Game manufacturers and developers don't want to make game play and commentary videos illegal because they help with business. In fact, the ONLY people that it would currently help are the movie and TV companies. We need to get the bill re-worded so that while helping the TV and film companies, it doesn't hurt the gaming industry in the process.

Here is a link to send a letter to various government groups to let them know that you do not support the bill in it's current form, and that you want the wording changed.

Super 8 >> Super Film?

Oh J.J. Abrams. I can't help but watch anything and everything that he has a part in, so of course I went to see the new film Super 8. I was actually not sure what to expect from this film, as the only thing I knew about the film before seeing it was that it has something to do with a group of kids filming a short film, some sort of supernatural monster and a water tower. I also knew that Andrew Kramer had helped do the visual effects for the film, so lets just say I was expecting a lot in the visual effects department. I personally have to say that the effects were AWESOME!!! and that I would recommend this film to someone just for the effects. There were some areas that were lacking in my opinion, however. The story was good, but as the movie progressed I kept thinking that the movie was going in one direction only to discover that the plot took a new turn (although with J.J. Abrams, I guess that is to be expected.)

FINAL SCORE:

Story/Plot: 8/10
Acting/Cast: 8/10
Effects/Visuals: 9/10
Music: 8.5/10

OVERALL: 33.5/40 - 83.75%

UPDATE AS OF 12/19/2014
The verdict?
