POPSBoondock Saints II: All Saints Day The Boondock Saints 1999 .....It's particularly gory and bloody, but this just makes it all the more realistic. In real life, there is a significant amount of blood when someone is shot in the head. The movie has some Christian subtexts, I think I've heard about five major theories about the whole movie's meaning. This shows, in my opinion, that there was obviously a lot of thought put into the movie. I'd recommend it to anyone who can stand the gore, even if they aren't Christians. 10/10

POPSWolverine leaks Verdict: Go to Movie Theaters The leaked version is reportedly a DVD-quality rip of the film minus a few special-effects shots and possibly some of the reshoots director Gavin Hood did this fall.

POPSThe Worst MPAA Ratings of 2008 An overwhelming majority of films get the rating they deserve -- or, at the very least, a rating that's consistent with how the MPAA has rated other films with similar content. But some MPAA decisions are baffling, illogical, or just plain outrageous. Here are the ones that perplexed us the most this year.

POPSGreed wins out again Of course, the MPAA neglects to mention that they are violating consumers' rights by denying them the ability to make backup copies of media they buy. Unless the copies are sold to other people, copying media that you buy isn't a violation of copyright. Of course, the recording industry and MPAA wants to gloss over that fact, and use money and lawyers to rewrite the law the way they want it.

POPSDoes Joe Biden hate techies? Barack's VP pick has a pretty rough record when it comes to the government's handling of copyright protection. But his tech savvy still trumps McCain, who by all appearances has only learned about electricity in recent briefings with his staff aides.

POPSPlease Don't Shoot Me! Don't point movie guns at audience MPAA says! Cont... Still, the Motion Picture Association Of America doesn't want to take any chances, which is why they told the director of Watchmen, Zack Snyder, that he couldn't have a guy pointing a gun at the audience in the trailer. Snyder replaced the gun with a walkie-talkie. This way, if anyone from 1903 watches the trailer, instead of ducking and/or running for their life, they'll just drop their bowler hat, curl up into a ball, rock back and forth, and mumble into their shirtwaist, "What world is this? What is happening to me? Where am I?"

POPSNow Hindus are Offended Oh dear. Now the world's Hindus had their feeling hurt by a Mike Myers's movie. From all accounts it boomed at the box office but none the less Hindus are claiming that teens... Never mind. This is so stupid that I can't even muster outrage over it. These nut jobs have surpassed themselves.

POPS AP Backs Down Intellectual property does exist and copyright law is similar practically everywhere. But mass media (music including) is special environment and an enforcement of that law is hard and unproductive.

POPSMPAA is Stupid Or at least the idea that Netneutrality regulation would be an assault on creativity is the opposite of what is true. Nerneurality will allow contene tcreators to have greater control. Netneutrality threatens the middle-man.
