I just watched "Transformers 2" on the internet. I found it very GOOD actually. I wouldn't put it in the same "caliber" as Star Wars, or Lord of the Rings. It was good though. It will be a "memorable" movie. I'd say 9/10.

With that said.. any of you can watch movies online (usually) before they hit the theaters. Personally, I think it's illegal. I think the reason we can, is the "difficulty" for movie producers to get it removed. If you go to a site like: http://www.watch-movies-links.net/ You'll find links to most any new movie. Lots of them, from different sites. Some links last just a few days, then say "removed due to infringement". It will appear later, at a different day, or on a different site.

You likely won't got to jail for watching a movie. Neither should it be your job to track if it was "legally or not legally" released. If the "government" and movie companies want to stop this. I say they gotta do more to stop it. As for now, I will watch them. I could give in a second a dozen sites that have movies (I think) are copyright infringed.

I'm really worried about making this "show" this weekend "Saturday, the 4th". I don't usually tell "numbers on what I make", but this time I will. Last time I did this one, I made $1400.00 in the one day. That's like 200 or so necklaces I plan to sell. I have alot of stock built up (those are more show then sell). Most all of my sales are "custom designs" people want. Well, there are several problems now. The major one is, we still don't have the car back yet. No way to get there. Finding help on the 4th is nearly impossible (as everyone I know has plans). Roxann wants to get my Van legal before that. But the van has other problems too. The kids broke the door in "Flint MI" (Punk neighbor kids). So that would need to be fixed and finding parts this close would be hard. Plus, it needs a battery, and the transmission slips. Not to mention, it has some other problems. It's really not reliable. I want to avoid that. The other problem is, although we paid the fee, and when I got the "application" they said I'd have a spot. Just I paid late, and haven't got a confirmation letter yet. I don't know if I am "in or not", but I think I am. Trying to sort this one.

Draco, you mentioned things about "cops" to me. I want you to know I am "not against cops"! Never have been. I get these young kids all the time "ordering" symbols like "Anarchy" (Which means "total lack of government). I do the symbols, but really I know they "don't know what they are talking about". We ALL need Government control, I just want the government to see what "real threats" are, and what aren't. They aren't always good at it.

Ok, I'm out now. Just my current thoughts :)

Best of luck and thank you for not spoiling it. I'm seeing it Friday. It is one of those that I will splurge for on the big screen. You may want to save for a flat screen tv. They have a plug on it for computers. You could have a 52" monitor for watching movies on the 'puter.

Wouldn't Radio Shack or any computer or electronic place have an adapter? I'm not much of a computer guy but I bet there's one out there that would know. I heard that any TV(I mean any)can be adapted to be a monitor. Cathode monitors were around way longer than LCD. Wouldn't hurt to ask.

Draco, I have been wanting to hook our TV's to the computer. Although I am a computer guy, I don't know anything about this. We have "Big Screen TV's", but are the older analog ones. If you find any information what I may need, I would appreciate the info. A new "flat screen" isn't in the budget right now.
