yeah I remember seeing something on this a while back. What's going on with you lately hun?

I moved, new school, my own apartment. Its cool shit. you?

nice to see you keeping it real and what not. Glad you're keeping your head up. I'm doing alright kind of all over the place.

LOL, it doesn't surprise me that Disney would take the theory that most governments do and take something that is fine the way it is and 'improve' it somehow thinking they're making it better when they're only making it worse. But...money talks and they're probably looking at it from a psychological perspective. People can relate to the original title and its popularity and this concept alone may be enough to persuade consumers to take an interest in purchasing the sequels, they probably know that it's content won't break box office records but they do know that people love the original concept. It's shady, yes and may even be considered unethical but they figure that consumers won't realize the movie sucks until they've already watched it and are unable to return it because of potential copyright infringement which they'll use as an excuse to ensure that capital earned is sustained. Basically I'm saying that if someone buys the product, whether they like it or not the company still keeps their money. That's part of the motive to bring many titles straight to DVD. I agree that its bad enough they mess with originality, then they turn around and sucker consumers by using that popularity to drive potential sales with low risk model of profit loss. Hope you're doing well!

mhmm I'm doing well. how about you Frank?

I'm not doing too bad, I went back to school to get an Associates degree in Business Management. I'm still working @ Target, I just passed my 7th year milestone there. I'm investing and saving to basically give myself an hourly raise with every contribution. I still see my dad every year for my birthday, it's become quite a tradition for me. I guess all and all my life has become work and school for the most part. I'll be able to graduate in 1.5 years so that's my short term goal. I'm also very close to having 5 figures saved up so I'm doing very well financially. Hope you're doing well! Good to hear from you.

I just got back from Disney
