And now, it's my turn to rant.

I'm in the UK, using a UK store iTunes... guess what? I can't ******* buy it! Nice one, whoever's in charge (and no, don't say Warner, it's not them). What gives iTunes/Hahn/Apple/whoever the right to say "well, only US can buy this"? And surely, isn't it a ******* stupid sales tactic? They could earn more money (let's face it, it's the only reason iTunes are involved) if they sold it to other countries, other than the US.

Further yet, Linkin Park Street Team had the cheek to send an email asking people to promote it. Firstly, why should I promote something I can't access myself? Secondly, what will promoting do? Okay sure, I'll go tell all my friends to download it and stick fliers up everywhere, so all my friends and people around me can go on iTunes, try to download/buy it and find they can't. Sorry LPST, I can't earn you any money today.

[untitled]

why the **** would this be US only, that doesnt make sense

[Linkin_lp_park]

It'll be uploaded, i guess

I'd like to see it

 

[Jeezy]

LP Russia uploaded it

 

[Victim]

I can't even find it on iTunes, and i was gunna buy it..And I rarely ever buy anything!!!

 

[UnhingedMouse0]

Yeah, its a pain to find, but I finally did.

Store > Movies > Short Films > Shorts

Its in there, I dont think they are in any order though.

 

[Victim]

Yeah, I just found it, FINALLY.. I am downloading it now.. Thank *** for my $25 gift card my cousin gave me, that I have had for like a year.. lol.

Just watched it.. Keep an eye on my sig for something special

 

[Jeezy]

I just watched it...and ****..

it's alright.

but I'm confused...I mean there could be more of it.

and I don't wanna spoil anything but did anyone think about the hybrid soldier or Matrix while watching this?

 

[Victim]

Yes.. I did, lol..

I was confused.. But, I get the just of it.. I wish there would have been more.. but really intense to say the least..

 

[UnhingedMouse0]

LP Russia uploaded it

If anyone wants to get Part 2 of it Ill trade you Part 1 on AIM and we have to wait for Rapidshare.

 

[Victim]

lol, i am uploading the whole thing to my filefront account.. It should be done in about 20 minutes.. but, lemme see how long part 2 will take me to dl, and I might do it, just so you can have it faster, lol

Edit:

I have pt 2 downloaded Mouse, but I don't see you on!

 

[UnhingedMouse0]

Ahh, here I am! Im on now. lol, I got distracted.

 

[Victim]

Gots part 2 if anyone needs it.. The whole thing should be linked in my sig in about 10 minutes.

 

[UnhingedMouse0]

Thanks Hailey, you rock as always.

Watching now!

 

[UnhingedMouse0]

I take it 'the sig' is different from the LPRussia one? Because theirs has static though the wholllle thing. :no:

Edit: Ok, saw it now and its well filmed... but I think that the plot is way too big a concept to squish into a 12 minute film. Its like taking The Lord of the Rings and fitting it into 20 minutes. (LOTR Spoiler here... lol) Hobbit gets ring. Hobbit goes on journey, OMG EVIL CREATURES, RUN! Hobbit destorys ring. The end. It just dosent work too well. More time is needed to expand on the plot and without it I just feel like you get 1600 questions and zero answers. So we know what the seed is kinda... everything else is "WTF IS GOING ON HERE"?

 

[Victim]

I got my straight of iTunes.. and then uploaded in .m4v or whatever in filefront.. I am not sure about LP Russia's since theirs was zipped in a .rar file.

I also agree about it being to short.. I could totally see, and wish it was, a full lengh movie.

 

[UnhingedMouse0]

Well its diff then since LPRuissia's is tagged by them in the corner... and has static all the way through from the bad sound card they used while recording it off the screen. (According to Nick.) It is watchable, but the static annoying to have to listen to through the whole thing.

Yours is the full deal then, but it has DRM and wont let me, or anyone for that matter, play it.

"This computer is not authorized to play The_Seed.m4v"

Id also like to add to my mini review that considering how polished everything in it looked, the CGI seemed like it was lacking...

 

[Victim]

Ohh, didn't think about that before I uploaded it, ugh. Lemme work on that..
