Now to the easy good stuff, select the avi or any other movie file you want to add to itunes and open it with quicktime. Now once it is open select file from the menu and make sure you save as a reference movie just like my example at the bottom.

This will save the movie as an reference file, which will be an mov. Just drag that file to itunes and edit all the meta tags and etc just like if it was a native file. This files reads the original file from anywhere on the hard drive and makes it possible for iTunes to play it. Also each of these reference files should be around 3 mb each.
As you can see from the picture below I have had way too much time on my hands adding my Entourage collection with this trick.

Another trick I have found that has made my life better is adding description tags to my favorite TV Shows and movies. It’s a very cool applescript that you will love, check it out here.

I have to say that hearing the word nigger in the first scene of a movie would definitely catch me off guard because it is a natural reaction not only as a person, but also as a black man because of the words history. But, thinking without the emotion the movie without the word probably wouldn’t be as realistic because it had to deal with the Irish mob and was based in Boston. Yes I know the Irish in Boston were racist or used the word nigger often, not all but some did. Shaquille O’neal has even complained about the words use in the movie and was heard saying that he was upset at the director Martin Scorsese. From what I hear it was only used twice in a 2 and half hour movie.

I understand Shaqs concern and yes even if the movie was trying to be as real as possible it still hurts hearing that word being used. I try no to be sensitive towards things of that nature because as African Americans a lot of other Americans view us as overly sensitive and emotionally fragile. Sometimes we have to think about who suffered because of that word and how many of our ancestors died for that word, but we also have to think the movie wasn’t trying to disrespect anyone, but be real as possible. Let’s be real people we have used that word in movies before and continue to use it in our hip hop records.

I am for one tired of the words use and tired of people justifying its use. It is very sad to this day you can hear kids of other races use it with others and try to justify using it also and don’t see anything wrong with it. Here is my question to everyone, should the word have been used in those two scenes in the movie or just not?
