So I need one mp3 player for WMA files and another for M4A files? God, I miss winamp.

We watched Van Helsing last night. I'd heard terrible, rotten things about it, which I think lowered my expectations sufficiently. On the other hand, I've sat stone cold sober through The League of Extraordinary Gentleman as well as Underworld. I mean, I hated them, but you know. The point being that, aside from a little problem in the area of being too fucking long, VH was a pretty damn fun horror/action flick. Oh, also, I still don't quite get the "origin" story, but whatever, I guess they had to touch on it instead of leaving it blank.

The M4A thing is offically pissing me off. Not to mention creeping me out. The last thing I want is the record industry tooling around in my PC.

As for Van Helsing, I had a similar experience. Indeed, I had a similar experience with League of Extrodinary Gentlemen (which reminds me, I need to watch Underworld). The one glaring difference being the weird religeous thing in Van Helsing. Don't get me wrong as a complete sucker for goth-shite I am willing to endure some churchy swagger. However, the zealotry in Van Helsing seemed to cross a line for me. It almost boarders on Moral Majority kind of stuff. It made me feel all icky. The Dracula guy sucked cornshucks.

well, iTunes will convert wma to mp3 and it'll play m4a files....i get annoyed at folks who encode their shit in weird formats (ie, wma/wmv, flac, eac, mpc, ogg, etc) but once you convert 'em it tends to be all good.

see http://www.engadget.com/entry/2127813034623335/ for converting m4a/aac to something else.

I sorta felt the opposite. Underworld was dumb without pretense, but still kind of enjoyable. Van Helsing had me rolling my eyes and wondering when it was gonna be over. maybe i had higher expectations for it?

I appreciated the sets and costumes in Van Helsing, although the special effects made me cringe. I sort of wish that people would just use old-school models if they don't get how to make computer graphics work. I'm also not a fan of mixed mythologies, so I wasn't too fond of the movie, but I could appreciate certain aspects of it.

I actually had fun with Underworld although it was a total goth masterbation flick and that made me giggle. Oh, angst!
