Insanemia

Hey, kids!  So I've got a few things to say and they should be nice and quick.

AMCHD is a joke.  How can a channel claim to be all about the preservation of American classic films and High Definition when it is in fact: Neither?  None of the films that I have ever seen on AMCHD have had an HD transfer and the quality of transfer they do have borders on low-quality youtube clips.  Most films are stretched to barely fit widescreen.  It's horrendous.  That's not even to mention whether the movies they show are even actually classics, in any country.  Death Wish IV?  Predator 2?!  Really (And I like Predator 2, sorta)?  You fucking suck.

If you're in a band, and you release your latest album on vinyl, I'm not going to buy it.  And you suck.  If Spielberg made a movie and released it on laser disc, that wouldn't make it retro and cool.  It's just dumb.  I know that records sound different and analog recordings tend to be richer than digital.  I get it.  But vinyl belongs on your wall (that is to say the band's wall, or walls, depending on the number of walls X band members / the numbers of houses +- PiR²).  It's decorative, not practical.  Find a way to improve the new audio formats (no small order) rather than reverting to the ancient in an effort to seem hip.  You're not.  And get a haircut.

Anyone watching Late Night With Craig Ferguson?  You should, man.  I think he's funnier than everyone else in late night.  He's unscripted, and sometimes awkwardly so, but his attempts to right his ship and buck the "late night format" that's become so tired are quite hilarious.  Sure he doesn't get the guests that Conan got, or that Jimmy Fallon's getting, but he does have something Jimmy Fallon doesn't have: charisma.  And a funny accent.  Give Craig a look and you might be surprised.

Well, that's it, kids.  Heed my warnings lest your futures go down the shitter.  ...???  Yep.

:-P  Pbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbth!!!
