Youtube's Movie Section Back Online

I was on YouTube today, more or less wasting time, when I discovered the movie section was back online. They took it down a number of months ago, and I was wondering where it went. Have no fear: Slacker is still available. Many of you no doubt remember using the movie section during periods of extreme boredom and lassitude, and its return is both a blessing and a curse. First: lots of the movies are of middling quality and may not hold your interest. You may have to force yourself to watch some of the movies in their entirety. This is alright if you consider watching bad movies a type of humorous sport, but if you have limited time, no sense of humor, or are otherwise a tight-assed nincompoop, it's best to stay away from the YouTube movie section unless your beloved critics give you the 'Okay'. Or, you know what? Just drive to the movieplex and spare your bandwidth.

But everyone knows that the best deals on YouTube are the movies you'd otherwise have to buy. That's right. Pirated movies on YouTube. Recently I watched Dune, and I'd like to post about the experience, since I've already delivered the news in a concise, informative, yet irreverent manner.
