Did you blend the pictures into the HBK logo in the background? If so, it's a nice touch. However, the random pictures of HBK in the background feel out of place, there's no flow. Also, play with your fonts, experiment with size, color, shadowing, etc. Text is a big draw for the eye, it needs to feel like it belongs rather than just thrown in there just because.

He obviously knew who Hitler was. It's a smart business move IMO. Hes gotten ALOT of publicity from it which was probably the original plan. This. Bad publicity is better than no publicity.

the rules for censoring, most important to least important goes something like this; sexuality > language > violence Bit of a messed up order that we'd sooner see people murder one another than make love. Sexuality is a bit different than just saying, "everything concerning sex, cut it out!" Viewers see implied love making all the time on television, hell, you see it everyday if you watch daytime soap operas. We've even gotten as far as showing bare buttocks on some television shows, The Shield and Breaking Bad come to mind. Certain cable channels show pretty graphic "love making," without showing nudity. I don't think there are really set rules for censoring like the ones mentioned above. It really depends on the severity within the category. I also think that as a society we've become pretty well desensitized to seeing violence. Which I'm sure has a hand in what's considered material worth censoring and what's not.

None as of yet, but my fiancee and I definitely plan to have at least one in the future.
Congratulations, I wish you both luck and a healthy child!

Anyone else ever have any issues dealing with X-Box Customer Support? I got a new debit card last year when my old one expired. The only place I failed to change the expiration date for was X-Box Live. As a result, when my account came up for automatic renewal, it declined the charge and sat pending. I called support to tell them that I wanted to remove my card and temporarily cancel my gold so I could buy a 12 month card elsewhere, because at the time Amazon had them for $38 rather than $60. The guy I spoke with said that because I'd been an X-Box Live customer for 5 years, he could place me on a discounted rate of 33% off permanently, so long as I agreed to remain on automatic renewal. I accepted, and everything was fine. So, my subscription is due to run out again in September. I noticed that I was scheduled to be charged the full $59.99. I talked to customer support and they said they won't honor the 33% off again, despite seeing the note on my account. I suppose it's not a big deal, as I'll just cancel automatic renewal and buy a card elsewhere, but man, I rarely see a company so unapologetic about flat out refusing something that was promised. What a joke. I'd be furious and probably would have given them an ear full.

Well thanks to this 3D garbage, Hollywood's figured out way to make even more money off of older movies. There's a lot of people that believe a 3D film is not garbage and they find it a lot more immersing. I read this quote from Martin Scorsese a while back. “I would have practically done all my films in 3D. There is something that 3D gives to the picture that takes you into another land and you stay there and it’s a good place to be. (…) It’s like seeing a moving sculpture of the actor and it’s almost like a combination of theater and film combined and it immerses you in the story more. I saw audiences care about the people more. The minute it started people wanted three things: color, sound and depth. You want to recreate life.” ― Martin Scorsese

Gone Baby Gone - I really don't know what to say. I just finished watching this film for the first time and I'm still in shock. It has been a long time since I've seen a movie this moving. When the credits rolled I just sat there staring at the TV in awe. My fiancee and I didn't look at each other nor say a word, but I think we were feeling the same way. Such a powerful and authentic feeling film. I'm sad it took me five years to see it. 10/10 Not bad. Not sure I'd go with 10/10 But maybe a 7/10 I felt the film was leaps and bounds above "not bad." Thinking back I cannot think of a single aspect of the film that I came close to remotely disliking. This movie easily found a notch in my top 25 favorite movies of all-time list.

Whenever I watch Jurassic Park I never think to myself I wish this movie was in 3D. I honestly can't say that I've ever thought that about any movie specifically.

The Town - Really enjoyed this film. I have to say given all the flack that Affleck receives, he's very talented. Not only as an actor, but as a director as well. After seeing this film I really want to watch Gone Baby Gone.
8/10
