Getting closer to the live action Smurf movie more images are being released.

Sadly with every image or trailer being released, the movie seems worse each time.

Perhaps I’m too prejudiced, but I seriously hope the movie bombs so that it sends a clear signal to the studios not to rape childhood memories like this.

Who needs dedicated animation software when you can also use Google Docs

Three guys managed to do exactly that.

It seems Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon is only a few months away from release (expected release July 2011) and the first trailer popped up this week.

Not much is revealed about the plot or Transformers included in the movie but more trailers will come out soon I guess.

I just hope Transformers 3 won’t suck as much as 2.

I’m one of the few consumers who actually wants to buy his music, dvd and software and have a legal version.

But companies really make it hard to buy their products legally and I can fully understand that people resort to illegal downloads because I’m sometimes also driven to that even though I want to buy it legally. Stupid retail stores don’t help either.

Today I went shopping for some music software and actually went to a store to buy a legal version. And guess what happened.

The stupid store didn’t have the damn software in stock! They only had one copy left but that was reserved for someone else.

Here I am, a consumer with the intention to buy something from your friggin’  store and you don’t have the damn thing in stock! Having products in stock so that consumers can immediately purchase and take their new purchase home is one of the few advantages brick and mortar stores have over online stores.

But this store even managed to fuck up one of the few advantages a physical retail store can have. And it made me wonder, do some companies even want to make money? I mean, if you want to sell it’s not that hard to imagine that you actually need to have stuff in tock to sell.

Because I really wanted and needed the software I eventually bought it online. Guess my money didn’t go to that retail store. Online stores are not a threat to brick and mortar stores but incompetent employees and organizations are.

End of rant.
