“I ordered some video-editing software from Hitfilm in the UK which also comes with some instructional videos. So a few days later I get a call from FedEx saying that the DVDs were being held at U.S. Customs until I filled out a Video Declaration Form, which she said was now standard practice. Now, I’d never heard of this before, so I...

It would be nice to see a top 10 for each of these years; I wonder if it’s mangaka picking trendy names for their characters, or if the influence goes the other way around? I mean, I’d never have imagined that “Ren” with that particular kanji would be popular.
Apparently there are a lot of 14-year-old girls named “Moe” out there right now…

how to cut down on an enormous chunk of illegal downloading, and this is so absurdly simple that it boggles the mind:

American Film Industry. You cannot cut/copy this one. I know it might be strange to you, but sometimes a show makes a shitload of money because it is QUALITY and it DESERVES IT. Not because it’s a market quantifier or buzz marketed into people brains. There is no Sherlock bandwagon. Go home and write something new.
