Holy shit! I just walked outside and found THIS!

Holy shit! I just walked outside and found THIS!

We just had some the other day. Still hoping for 3ft of snow soon.

[SPX]

3 ft . . . I don't know if I've ever seen that much.

[SPX]

In other news, I've been eating a lot of Fruit Roll-Ups lately. Those motherfuckers are good!

[Mr. IWS]

3 ft . . . I don't know if I've ever seen that much.

We got something like that back in 96, I think we got like 24" 2005 or 06. I loved that shit.

[SPX]

What is the appeal for you?

[Mr. IWS]

What is the appeal for you?

No work for one. I like to drive in it, now that I have a truck, and I actually like just watching that shit fall and accumulate. I dont shovel it so its all good too haha.

[SPX]

Indeed. I'll pass on driving in it, but I'm on board with no work and sheer beauty of it all. During December, for me, it's pretty much essential. I love a white Christmas.

I'm going to see Skyfall in T minus 41 minutes.

Looks really good. was gonna download a cam of it last night. I might do that over the weekend though.

[SPX]

Cam? Fuck that! This movie deserves to be seen in the theater. Go pay your $8.

Support the Fighters!

[SPX]

Fuck yeah! Support fighters! Support filmmakers!

The industry literally will not survive if people just pirate everything. And unlike with music, filmmakers don't go on tour or have supplementary ways to make money.

Plus, it's just a little sickening that some people feel like it's justifiable to not compensate the creators of products they consume and enjoy.

[zY|]

It's not really justifiable, it's mostly just I'm cheap and I don't want to pay for it.

[SPX]

I certainly won't say that I never download anything. But usually if I download something and like it enough then I'll buy it. My Blu-Ray collection is about 50 titles strong and growing regularly. And I see a shitload of movies in the theater.

Considering that I one day hope to make films I know that if people don't pay for the shit I make then I wouldn't be able to keep making it. I hope people will understand that and respect it.
