So, I watch a lot of movies and television online. I’ve become quite adept at finding websites to watch new movies and recent tv episodes. This afternoon, I had nothing to do, so I watched Zach and Miri Make a Porno and Role Models.

I’ve never downloaded a movie in my life – way too illegal. I just watch them streaming, that way the only person to get in trouble are the websites that host the content, usually sites like megavideo.com or crazy japanese sites that I can’t read, like youku and toudu.

I really don’t feel guilty about this. I mean, I suppose I’m doing something wrong… these movies are in theatres and whatnot to make money, but I just can’t bring myself to feel bad. The entertainment industry is so messed anyway, and going to see a movie at a theatre is such a ripoff. Anyway, they still make money from me… if it’s an exceptional movie, I’ll buy it when it comes out, but I’m not going to go a pay out the ass to go to a theatre and see a movie, and I don’t feel guilty about that.
