: Well, unless you buy that the internet is the future for movies. I like the internet but it isn't the answer to everything.
Hello? Angry Naked Pat? Whats up with him lately, did i imagine the movie thing? While i dont think the internet is going to replace anything at the moment (not with the average user connection) its not exactly useless - I did a search and found a lot of internet only shows, short films, series and docos.
It might not cure cancer, but credit where credit is due. Most people wouldnt even see Flying Car without the net (and ming).
And yes I am in IT so maybe bias in relation to technology, but the internet cant argue for itself yet.
