No matter how many times it happens, I still find it jarring as more and more often I come to the realization that big studio music and movies are complete and total shite. They are made to take my money and leave in its place a sick feeling of being robbed. There is very rarely such a thing as a mass appeal, original idea (Spiderman and LOTR being the exceptions that come to mind). Music stations all play the same top 20 songs on infinite repeat. Movie studios create sequel after sequel which in all likely hood are floor edits from the original. Dramas warn you that "any likeness, real or implied is completely incidental" and then proceed to "rip storylines straight from the headlines" because they can't make up stuff any better than real life.
I'm tired of being a sheep. Independent labels have earned my support.

Independent stuff is sometimes good, even if you have to ignore some marginal acting or camera work. But I think its the raw feel of independent entertainment that is appealing.
If you are wondering, yes, this was sparked by Transporter 3.
Yeah, I guessed that.
