    Communism on MacBreak Weekly 

    This morning on the way in to work, I was listening to the MacBreak Weekly episode 283 entitled, “Author, Author.”

    I had always suspected Leo Laporte was smoking crack. Now there is no doubt. I don’t know if I can ever listen to him again. Maybe if I take a little break I will be able to circle back around to it.

    In other news, I declared podcast bankruptcy and erased about 7gb of podcasts I will not have time to consume.

    Bah, I hate it when people use the word “consume” like I just did.

    Sequels 

    I’m okie with the idea of sequels if the story arc is longer than a single story (a la Harry Potter) from the very beginning. But why does the movie industry insist on cramming more sequels down our throats when they could move on to other stories?

    This is a trend that should end.

    One can only wish, right?

      They film the sequels at the same time as the original – then put out the original – if it does well enough then they edit and finish the sequels – the industry does not care about quality of a 2nd, 3rd and 4th film – they know that people will watch them and so make money if the 1st one is a success.
