What I got rid of today.

The Holy Trilogy.

Ah – the unexpected Star Wars RID.

I, like most people in my age group, loved the original.

And yes, Empire? Clearly the best of the series.

So, it makes sense that I’d want to own these movies, and share them with others.

The problem? This boxed set includes the “improvements” Lucas made to the films. And I’m sorry…they’re not improvements.

Neither (of course) was Episode I.

So, today I RID the original trilogy…that isn’t the original.

And preserve the great memories of my childhood in the process.

Kind of a classic.

I’ve never really been a fan of Tom Cruise.

But, I have to admit..when he brings it…as he did in this movie? Pretty darned impressive.

So, today I RID a movie I remember well.

After all, who can’t quote the famous Jack Nicholson scene at the end?

So…why not RID something you well enough to quote? If ever there was a good reason to RID something, that’s it.

Because you’ve already experienced it.

And the memory is probably more powerful that re-experiencing it anyway.

Question it.

The RID project has changed my way in a substantial way about the ownership of content.

Today, I give away Dogma. (Seemed appropriate.)

It’s a movie I love.

I know I’ll watch again.

I’ll wanna share with someone.

But – you know what? It’s available to rent – whenever I need it. Rather than holding on to a copy.

Something I believe about a lot of things now.

Thanks, RID project.

Hilarious.

If the next person who gets this DVD gets half the laughs I do from David Cross….it’ll be worth it.

One of just a handful of comedians who portrays current events in the light they need to be seen in, David Cross is bringing social commentary to the next level.

And boy oh boy – do we need it.
