Trivia The film was shot in eight days. Goofs When Melinda is knocked off the boat and into the ocean she finds her way back on but is completely dry.
Same with the crew that was forced to jump off at gunpoint earlier. After being picked up and rescued by Diana they're all completely dry when they board the boat and surround Robert.
Quotes Melinda : Do you know the last thing a woman wants to hear about her man is that he's cheating on her? Music Co. User reviews Review. Top review. Save 2 hours. Absolute garbage. Complete waste of two hours. I feel personally victimized. You really feel sorry for Taraji B. Henson's character but at the same time you are sort of repulsed by her actions. Details Edit. Release date March 30, United States. If they really wanted to make a dent, even a big one, they could.
Unfortunately there are many small companies that will never develop because of pirating. These should be the poster children for the anti-fileshare campaigns.
It won't hit the guys at Pirate Bay until their children can't find work because so many fledgling companies were ruined by actions like theirs. Everything balances out. In many ways, it's a noble thing that Prince is attempting to do but it must drain so much of his brain that could be put to better use I suspect he'll, one day, wake up and take the words of one of his songs to heart 'It's going down like this system of things'.
If it has to go down, before it gets better, let it play out. Just make sure to play it out with a hot track. I honestly don't know where Prince finds the time for things like this. Between spirituality, music and all the temper tantrums, it's a wonder he has time to sleep.
Skillz4 said: I think this whole thing is stupid. Skillz4 said: If you want the artist to make the money they deserve then control the record companies from controlling them, their music and ripping them off for millions.
Oh, to be in England! We might be crap at football, but at least our legal system doesn't permit this nonsense. LordMarcusMont said: Oh, to be in England! SexyBeautifulOne said: violetblues said: You may not be able to download a Ford but you can buy a used one. So Skillz4's point is valid. Or your Grandmother couldn't give you her Lincoln that she no longer drives that's sitting in her driveway because that would prevent you from going to a dealership to buy a new one.
Or what if all of the Big 3 US automakers got together with some lobbyists and convinced Congress that since their sales are in the slumps because people are buying Toyotas and Hondas that it should be illegal to drive cars not made by them. Far fetched SexyBeautifulOne said: anon said: That would only be a good example if you could duplicate your car and give a copy to a friend. People have been copying and sharing with their friends since the invention of cassette tapes and recorders.
It wasn't until the record companies started experiencing loss of revenue that it became a problem. Skillz4 said: anon said: But even then you weren't supposed to, but you can't track a cassette tape you copied and gave to a friend? Also, when you duplicate a tape, the quality is reduced. With digital duplicates, it's an exact copy. This is why, when you buy software, you buy a license or a number of licenses to use it.
When you spend six months to a year of your life programming software so you can buy a home or feed your family, and you discover that you made nothing because people are downloading without purchasing a license, you'll understand. I feel for the smaller developers most. Many are calling it quits because of this. So yes, the problem is copying.
The nature of digital product changes everything. SexyBeautifulOne said: anon said: But even then you weren't supposed to, but you can't track a cassette tape you copied and gave to a friend? With CDs you buy them and you keep them permanently with no renewal fee's that a user license requires. Just like a drivers license And the laws for duplicating were not illegal back when cassettes first came out.
It didn't become an issue till video cassettes became the rage. The point is that when buy a product that you take ownership or the ownership is implied that we still can't use the product to our discretion. There are laws the we must obey with vehicles but it's not an issue of revenue, it's an issue with safety.
So if the example of a car isn't to your satisfaction I can buy a jacket from Wilson's Leather but they tell me that I can only wear it on certain days during certain hours, AND if my girlfriend is with and she just happens to get cold then too bad; I can't share it with her. Or if I have a friend over and they want to use my jacket, should they have to pay Wilson's Leather to use the jacket? To me it's like double jeopardy. He's a grade A idiot!
Youtube could have been to his benefit but as usual he's a major wanker about it. DevotedPuppy said: anon said: How are you people thinking? The jacket example is as bad as the car. The reason it wasn't such an issue with copying, was before there was no real means to copy.
Problems are addressed as they arise. I can buy a book, it's mine, I own it and if I wanted to, I could photocopy or hand write the whole damn book and give it to my friend to read. You can make copies legally for personal or academic use not to resell or plagerize but to read.
The cost to copy and bind So it hasn't had to be addressed. Seriously, some of the logic here is a bit scary It's like people aren't really thinking.
This is the reason countries go to war with the wrong countries. People don't think beyond the surface bytes. SexyBeautifulOne said: anon said: This is closer but the reason it's not a problem that has to be addressed is because it's still a physical property.
They play the anti-establishment, Robin Hood card, but when people see the damage done over time, they will recognize them for the problem that they are. The fundamental hypocrisy of the music industry and of some artists in the current debate over the MP3 4mat, Napster and other 4ms of online xchange of music is that they r talking about copyright, intellectual property and other such noble concepts when the only thing that they r actually trying 2 protect is the commercial value of their musical 'product.
They are also growing up with a notion that music is free and ought to be free. This statement deals with the relationship between music and the public from a purely commercial point of view.
Nowhere in his statement is there any indication that what might happen with young people xchanging music is that they might develop a real appreciation of music in general and of certain artists in particular and turn out to b perfectly honest citizens who realize that artists should b compensated 4 their work and who will help make sure that they r. Nowhere is it mentioned that the fundamental reason y those 'young people' r xchanging music online is that they r xcited about the music, that they r actually developing a sense of appreciation of what good music is.
Bcuz, of course, record companies don't really want the public 2 like good music. They want it 2 buy whatever 'product' they come up with, whether it's musically good or bad. Record companies don't really want young people 2 develop a sense of what good music is. Bcuz real music lovers don't consume music. They don't buy the latest chart topper just bcuz it's at the top of the charts. They don't really participate in that 'system.

BartVanHemelen said: You're making a lot of different points. They don't really have much to do with the line of reasoning here, and some of the points are valid in their own right I happen to agree with quite a few of your points, but maybe they would fit better in a 'Let's Find a Solution thread'.
It seems that so many are upset with Prince that this becomes an emotional thing I don't see anyone as the enemy. I don't personally have a problem with the Pirate Bay guys. I think they're entertaining. Are they doing damage? Could they also become a part of the solution? Is it the corporate cracks, corporate greed, corporate control and perhaps corporate ignorance that, in part, allows the Pirate Bays to thrive?
I'm not all that concerned about any of this because all things will balance out on their own Economics We're just in a muddy place right now because of all the new tech variables in the equation. What really matters is that fans separate the hurt from the facts so they can stop being bratty Isn't what the bible says.
Anyway, since we know that Prince is the bigger brat, someone please make a first attempt at peace so that the man will release SHOE already.
Sorry for the firestorm. But I have to say that no one has felt the pinch of the internet more than Newspaper companies. It's just the evolution of technology and the things to come. As for sharing and copying; it's a vicious circle that seems to never be resolved unless they start restricting what we can and can't do thru internet connections.
My brother just told me that he thinks that file sharing and copying is like shoplifting. I'm not sure I totally agree or disagree. The fact of the matter is that when we buy something then it is ours. If it's not, then what's the point of buying it? It's just one industry being too greedy and the fans being too greedy. I just have one question for the music industry and to companies as a whole How much money is too much money? The recording industry as well as the movie industry has lied to us all and have been over charging us for vinyl, cassettes, cd's, and dvd's.
The consumers were told that cd's would come down in price to the average price of a cassette, and that cassettes would be cheaper than vinyl. Now they are saying the same with dvd's. The prices haven't come down, they have become more expensive. These were promises made long before the internet became the issue.
They first blamed it on shoplifting see my brothers comment above. Then the companies said that it was shoplifting and then the price of distribution, producing and marketing The recording industries higher-ups have made billions from us and even more from the artists. The artists started fighting back and have made huge progress. Well now it's us feeling the pinch and we started fighting back via the internet. I think that the artists and the recording companies have forgotten how they became famous, rich and powerful.
It's because of us. That's right brothers and sisters Yes the talents of the artists and technology made the music, but no one would ever know who they are or were if it weren't for us. This was the all star game!! The players were voted there buy us fans. Shaq or any of them wouldn't be there if it weren't for the fans votes. Just like the music and movie industry. They wouldn't be here if it weren't for us. It looks like we and they have forgotten that and that maybe the artists and the industry shouldn't slap the hand that pays them and created them.
I buy Princes cd's. I buy the movies that I liked in the theater. I buy the books that I would enjoy to read. I've bought a lot of cd's, cassettes and vinyl of artist that had only one good song and the rest were horrible.
I have paid a lot of money at the theater to watch movies that were horrible. I have paid a lot of money on books that were horrible. Did I ever get my money back? It would be nice to be able to get compensated for the thousands and thousands of dollars wasted. But industries didn't mind taking our money for crap.
Now multply that by the millions of us that have felt the same. The money that the industries have made on just the crap they put out alone not the good quality stuff that we also paid for , has made them billions and billions. This is my last post on this topic. I just wanted to be heard and share my thoughts. Thanks Prince for giving away millions of copies of Planet Earth to the good people across the pond from us. That makes us feel good that you give millions of copies away to them and make us pay top price for it here.
I know it's his to do what he wants with it. Maybe they are better fans that we are here Maybe the media has been kinder to him there then here
