#6  Maybe the sentence was so lenient because nobody really wanted to see that movie in the first place. How could you mess up a Wolverine movie?

#5  has Hollywood and the leftist-entertainment lobby taken over our laws?

OS, they've always had far more influence than is warranted. They are simply entertainers (like clowns) and that is often questionable.

#2  I generally enjoy the annoying and pretentious commentary tracks.

#1  Not the final movie, but a work print of the movie before its computer graphics had been added. While not giving away any trade secrets, the work print was regarded as interesting for how it showed such productions are made.

Yet in the final analysis, those who had pirate copies of the movie were more likely to purchase the final print, because it was more a behind-the-scenes type edit, but without the annoying and pretentious commentary.

Unless, of course, they also downloaded a finished version of the movie, which also became widely available for download, as they always do.
