Where do these people get money for their horrible B movies? - We've all seen Sharkosaurus 4 on Sci-Fi late at night, but how exactly do movies like these come to be and succeed?

Why are Kubrick fans looked down upon in film circles? - Everyone likes Kubrick, everyone has seen Full Metal Jacket so can't we all just be friends? Apparently not.


No Music Discussion. This used to be the file forum where people traded illegal mp3s and whatnot. Then I decided I probably didn't want to get arrested, so I changed it. Now people just discuss their illegal mp3s. Ha ha, just kidding. Sometimes they're in .ogg format. Ask Sir Tonk if you don't believe me.

Timbaland ripped off a track from my buddy - Acclaimed producer Timbaland failed to credit a sample taken from the internet and NMD is all over it. Permabanned idiot "Keep It Real provides" the defense for Timbaland , with the rest of NMD and logical thought representing the side of the original artist.

Small, yet song-ruining, production errors - NMD shows how they any listener can effectively ruin his/her listening experience by looking for mistakes.
