WHY?

OK, so I realize that I am late on this but whatever...

I have been watching classic Star Trek lately on TV and honestly I thought I was hallucinating when any visual FXs came on screen. Was I crazy or were the original scenes replaced with CGI? Well, I'm not crazy but the dick heads who thought this was a good idea are. Didn't we learn anything from George Lucas? Not to mention, what a slap in the face to the amazing talents that created the original models and effects back in the 60s! Way to shit on a legacy!

Oh, and the original stuff still looks better!

FUTURE CAR

WATCH THIS!!



Not only was Bowie a genius but his bass player rocked the most amazing ear beards!!

THE YEAR IN MUSIC (sales) 2010!! or DON'T QUIT YOUR DAY JOB!

CD sales in the U.S. dropped by 20 percent, and music sales in general fell 12.8 percent compared to the already-not-good 2009 totals.
326.2 million albums sold in 2010 was the lowest total since Nielsen SoundScan began keeping tabs on sales in 1991. Only 13 albums managed to attain million-selling platinum distinction, compared to the 22 platinum albums that earned it in 2009, of those 13 platinum albums in 2010, only four sold over 2 million copies.
Catalog album sales plummeted 15.3 percent in 2010.
