Why would Murray want to do it if he never wanted to make a sequel?<br /><br />Also, per Birth. Movies.

I saw <i>Ghostbusters</i>, <i>The Blues Brothers</i>, <i>Fletch</i>, <i>Stripes</i>, and <i>Vacation</i> before I saw this, and I saw it when I was an older teenager. Like <i>Christmas Vacation</i>, maybe it has to be a treasured memory of your youth to stick with you, but that's just a guess.<br /><br />For me, <i>The Blues Brothers</i> is the best movie in terms of being a legitimate film. Like <i>Block Party</i>, that movie just makes me happy to be alive; it's celebratory. <i>Ghostbusters</i> is probably the funniest, but I really did grow up on that one.Tyler Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01794588484548780048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809751678870389508.post-50278251210130856762010-08-29T13:52:20.038-07:002010-08-29T13:52:20.038-07:00This piece makes me sad.This piece makes me sad.Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539484265645266440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809751678870389508.post-38817928967670675522010-08-17T04:46:58.644-07:002010-08-17T04:46:58.644-07:00Looks amazing!!!! /I look forward to your feedback...Looks amazing!!!! /I look forward to your feedback /thanks for this man it was very helpful.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.billstrailers.net.au" rel="nofollow">Box Trailers</a>Steffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06307240636561483902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809751678870389508.post-48246620899667106142010-08-17T04:15:36.153-07:002010-08-17T04:15:36.153-07:00Excellent read.

Or maybe he did it for the publicity, cause its HARD to get noticed on the internet these days.<br /><br />Honestly I feel bad for him 'cause i've searched 'filmxtratom' on twitter and i've seen the amount of abuse he's gotten. It doesn't make me feel used - he presented a good review in a video format, I consumed it and went on with my life, and I'm staying subscribed.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12024698097205726476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809751678870389508.post-56175902214012472732010-05-15T15:44:02.904-07:002010-05-15T15:44:02.904-07:00I admit, I'm using my currently raised profile...I admit, I'm using my currently raised profile to my advantage. No argument there. But I don't make ANY money off of this blog, FYI, even with AdSense activated (nobody has ever clicked on any of the ads).<br /><br />I never said anything about the news. Actually, when Tom read the news, he usually only told you the basic details, and linked to a full article somewhere else. I'll give him that much credit.<br /><br />But if his new review is the same as his others, then why did he have to lie? I'm not going to argue that he isn't capable of creating perfectly entertaining video reviews, because I have no idea. However, it doesn't make sense that people would brush off the fact that he stole if he didn't need to be doing it. It's one thing to steal to feed yourself, it's another to steal because you don't want to work.<br /><br />As for stupid, I hope you seriously consider the last bolded point in my post above. Remember, Tom was lying to YOU. If a person you actually knew lied to you, you would consider it disrespectful (at least I'd think so), and as you yourself suggest, there's no reason he HAD to lie. So, why is it okay?Tyler Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01794588484548780048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809751678870389508.post-66923076805526618602010-05-15T15:26:27.277-07:002010-05-15T15:26:27.277-07:00I have been following the developments carefully a...I have been following the developments carefully and have a few words I'd like to type.<br /><br />You are trying to make yourself somehow popular through his mistake - Tom did a bit of a silly thing, yes, but it's JUST YOUTUBE!!!<br /><br />People read other peoples news all the time, and just change the words, Tom didn't credit his sources, but it's hardly Murder is it?!<br /><br />As a long time viewer of his reviews, I think he's new review is still as good as every other, and I hardly noticed a difference.<br /><br />Give it a rest, going on about this is just making you look more stupid... or keep going, and you'll drive more traffic towards his videos... and I know you don't want that ;)<br /><br />PS: People on youtube at Toms level of subscribers are making hardly any money from youtube, probably just enough to buy a coffee every week...

So I googled him as someone suggested and ended up here. I'm sad. I really liked him, he seemed so personable! Being an American, I NEVER would have made a connection on any of the reviews. And to steal from such popular sources - that takes some nerve. Wow, I feel duped.

I too am greatly concerned about iZone's plagiarism, but who knows how many reviews on his site are plagiarized.<br /><br />I guess the poster (Izaruddin), according to his Twitter, is on some sort of no-net adventure.

I've looked at several of the reviews on that website as well, and all so far have been plagiarized, mostly from Matthew Turner's reviews, but some from others as well. I wonder if there are going to be any similar repercussions for this other guy as well. Are you planning on doing a similar side-by-side comparison for this site as well? <br /><br />I can't believe these guys would be so blatant with this plagiarism, especially since it's so easily uncovered with a google search. It looks like @izone gave the "source" for some of the reviews, but most of them do not give any credit whatsoever.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11703547283751473482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809751678870389508.post-14788809583306427872010-05-10T23:36:40.401-07:002010-05-10T23:36:40.401-07:00T.J., JoBlo ran it, and I linked to the article in...T.J., JoBlo ran it, and I linked to the article in one of the updates at the bottom.Tyler Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01794588484548780048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809751678870389508.post-31115926068321931132010-05-10T22:13:02.100-07:002010-05-10T22:13:02.100-07:00Can someone who received his "apology" e...Can someone who received his "apology" e-mail post it online?
