i am out of control

You know things are bad when the first thing that comes rolling through your mind when you see or hear anything is - I gots to put that in my blog! In case you couldn't tell, this is one of those moments.

Last night I couldn't sleep I was checking out some latenight TV and I see that VH1 is playing 8 Mile. The only thing this does for me is make me want to go out and buy or rent the actual DVD, since the VH1 edit is practically incoherent. They have to bleep out so much dialogue that it could drive you to the point of madness. And forget about it when they start the battle, unless you have seen them enough to pull a naratim verbatim, you will find yourself quite lost.

If the point of putting 8 Mile on VH1 was to sell a few mor copies then MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. I can tell you that they will more than likely get my 12 bucks.

I also hate to see Comedy Central versions of Kevin Smith films. Just plain silly is what that is. I can at least appreciate that they do the "Secret Stash" where they show the films unedited... I suppose they sort of get it.

As a society, we have to come to realize that some films were not made for TV audiences. That is not a bad thing, but it is just the way it is. If a movie is going to revel in violence, sex, or vile language... putting it on the tube will destroy any soul or vision that particular film has.

A note about work - I went in for my yearly review at work the other day. It's my third such review. I wasn't too worried going in until the first thing they told me was "yeah, we heard about your website."
