Movies...
Okay, the movie industry has gotten waaay out of control here...Saw VI? (That's Saw 6 for people who lack the intellect skill to read roman numerals) Seriously, Rocky at least had the popularity to warrant it; and they didn't spam us with a new one every year. They had the basic human decency to keep you going..."Gee I really liked Rocky III do you think there will be another?" for a few years before they gave you Rocky IV. It was a gift, they gifted you with it, they didn't spam you with a new one every year until you come to expect it, and then they suddenly quit because people got tired of seeing basically the same crap over and over, and they stopped making money off of it.
Trilogies used to be Awesome! (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, ect) now they are expected, mediocre and in the worst case scenario, the same plot of the first movie, will be recycled and repackaged in the second movie. (I'm staring at you Disney, you Jonas peddling morons!)
The absolute worst part of all of this is that people buy this crap, they contribute money to ticket and video sales and even TV ratings, showing the people who peddle these mentally un-stimulating creative abortions (yes, I called them abortions - bite me) that america is a nation of zombies, who will watch anything you put in front of them like it was the most amazing thing created, and then run to their blogs, or their Facebook pages, Twitter pages, or (God forbid) all three and rave about how it is the "BeSt ThInG 3var!!!"
And they'll type it exactly like that, like they don't know how or when to use the shift key (probably true) and they are so "uber" they have to use letters to replace numbers in order to make you feel inferior. You can do the same thing with an hour and a dictionary of the English language! "Hacker" is Leetspeak...it was cool when it was limited to hackers, and its cool in a group of 12 year olds, but not when your 20. (I'll say its acceptable when you're 18, because most 18 year olds I currently know have the mentality of a 12 year old)
