Okay, if you have absolutely no interest whatsoever in movies or DVD’s, i suggest you don’t read this post because it probably won’t… interest you… like i said. Anyway…

Been watching quite a lot of movies this past weekend. Watched my Goonies DVD like… 3 times. Saw Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Wasn’t as good as Snatch. Which i also saw on DVD. Watch Akira Special Edition on DVD… but i quit watching halfway through because i couldn’t stand the new re-dubbed dialogue. It was fucking terrible. I have Akira on VHS and i liked the old dub better. The new dub on the Special Edition DVD i think is just plain… blah. I’d watch it in Japanese with the subtitles on but even the Japanese dub sounds bad. Wish they’d included the option to select the old dub because the new one… like i said… is just fucking terrible.

I finally figured out why the Goonies are called the Goonies after watching it for the third time. They live in the Goon Docks in Astoria. Hence them calling themselves ‘The Goonies’.

I think Astoria’s somewhere in Oregon. Why i’m even telling you this i have no idea.

Film class has been a real drag lately. Not much the class but the lecturer herself. It’s the same bitch who teaches Philosophy. And the same one who taught my Thought And Writing class too. I sure most of you regulars remember how much i fucking despised her. She was the one i dubbed ‘the queen bitch of the universe’. Anyway, thank God they’re offering American Studies now. It’s kinda late in the semester to be starting off a new class but hey, i’ll do just about ANYTHING to get out of that bitch’s Philosophy class.

I still have to put up with her smarmy looking mug for Film though. But better one class than two i guess.

Watched Any Given Sunday on VCD just before i started writing this. It was in Pan and Scan. I HATE PAN AND SCAN. Everything’s just framed too closely and you lose like… 25% of the picture off the sides. It bugs me to no end watching movies in Pan and Scan knowing that i’m actually missing something off to the sides.

Which is why i like Widescreen. Because you get to see the whole picture.

I’d actually watched Snatch before i saw Lock, Stock. I loved Snatch. I thought it was just really fucking cool. Good commentary track too. The DVD’s pretty stacked too. Like a Playmate of the month. Still can’t compare to Fight Club though. Or T2: Ultimate Edition. Those fucking DVD’s are like the Anna Nicole Smith of DVD’s. No wait, Fight Club would be Anna Nicole Smith and T2: Ultimate Edition would be Minka. Goonies would be Gwyneth Paltrow.

Anyway, it did kinda suck that the R1 version of Snatch’s missing a couple of the R2 easter eggs.

Kinda like the Fight Club DVD. How the R2 version’s missing some of the R1 extras. Actually to say ‘some’ is just putting it lightly. The R2 version’s missing 3 commentaries and 2 (i think) deleted scenes.

Okay. I just realized that nobody’s probably reading this so i’m gonna quit while i’m ahead.

And um. I want to marry Jia Hui. That is all.

Oh and one more thing…

Asia Carrera. Um. Yes.

I talk to lots of interesting people on the net:

Laughingskirt: I feel like biting your hand
Laughingskirt: I like the hand that fondles the pussy in the pictures

Brah is Back: ….damn those celeb pics you have are pretty nice. I’m a grade A perv that has scoured the net for over 3 years and I’ve never seen most of those you have…you’re a big hit with all of my friends now

It’s nice to know that i have grade A pervs visiting my site.

Anyway, BORING BLOG TIME!

I dropped out of my Philosophy class today.

Meaning to say that i dropped Philosophy and switched to American Studies (whatever the hell that is… oh and i still have no real clue as to what my Pacific Asian Rim Cultures class is all about). Philosophy makes my brain hurt. Philosophy bad. I hate the lecturer because she’s a BITCH, i’m not really into Philosophy (too many goddamn questions! shut the fuck up already!) and the only reason i took it was because every other class i could take would’ve clashed with my other class’s schedules.

So no more Philo-fucking-osophy this semester.

Anyway, to end this BORING BLOG, i leave you with this question: if you had a choice between CLASS OR SEX… which one would you choose?

Of course, you all know what my choice is…

I’d hump a DVD.

Someone commented on the post below:

Why in the world would you want DVD advice from Justin? Experience owning one DVD Player wouldn’t make him anywhere close to an expert. Pioneer top end? Give me a break. Since he’s qualified, I guess I am too. Get a Toshiba SD-3109 because I own one. Seriously, please seek out a better source like Audio Review!

But the dude asking Justin about Porno movies had the right guy. For some reason he doesn’t brag about his vast porno collection. Just all of his DVDs and pirated PSX and DC games.

Well allow me to retort.

Now while i could’ve gone and done an all out DVD player price/specs kinda posts detailing whether so and so DVD player has a SCART socket or whether this player has a good bass reflex or whether it’s Digital Ready and has a built in Dolby Digital and/or DTS Decoder/Receiver on board or whether it’s region hackable by remote or how good one’s bitrate processing for a better sharper picture or which one’s have or don’t have component video outputs or which one’s offer a combination of DVD/LD (only Pioneer to date) or which players are 96K compatible or how…

I could go on and on.

But… i also have to take into account the other 98.7362548% of my readers (and porn purveyors) who probably can’t even tell the difference between an STD from a DTS.

Hence the (heavily) dummied down post/review/opinion or whatever the hell you wanna call it. But trust me, i do know enough about DVD players to tell you which one’s are good and which one’s aren’t. I read more DVD industry mags than you know (covering DVD movies reviews AND technical stuff). So yeah, while i’m not exactly a certified DVD video/audiophile ‘expert’ per say, i can hold my own in the arena.

Besides, like you noted, this isn’t exactly the best ever site to get opinions on which DVD player one should get. So for the sake of the 98.7362548% of the readers who don’t give a flying fuck about DVD’s out there (and because i was just too lazy to write up a really good response to that e-mail)… the dummied down post was necessary.

Oh and i don’t have a vast collection of porno. In fact, i’ve only ever bought ONE porno VCD in my entire life. It’s called Slumber Party 5. It’s really good! =D

Leong would be the one with the vast porno collection.

That fella ah… i tell you. Aiyo… Very hamsap one.

You have Get Over It on DVD? You bastard!

Okay. Why did you even buy a DVD… when you don’t even have a DVD player?? It’s like… buying screws when you don’t have a screwdriver! It’s like… buying a bra when you don’t even have breasts! It’s like… buying a tampon when you don’t have tampon insertion points!

Unless you count your asshole as an ‘insertion point’.

You get the idea.

Anyway, i would suggest you get a Sharp DV-620 (because that’s the model i have). It’s a pretty reliable machine. Good sound, good picture. Has all the extra functions that you would want for a basic DVD player (Zoom, Slow Mo etc etc) and it’s cheap too. I bought mine in Singapore for just around 340 Singapore bucks .

And that is FUCKING cheap for a DVD player. It’s probably even MORE cheaper in the states. If you can find that particular model of course.

It’s not exactly the Pioneer or Denon of DVD players, but if you’re looking for a good, cheap reliable DVD player, you can’t go wrong with the Sharp DV-620. I think they’ve introduced newer and better models by now though. I got mine last December. So yeah, just… look around. But for me, personally, i’m happy with what i have right now.

Or you could just get a PS2… that doubles as a DVD player as well.

Which brings me to this next e-mail:

Okay, look. I’m assuming that you live in the UK. And since you bought your PS2 in the States, you must have one that’s NTSC. And the reason it won’t play in color on the TV that’s in your room is probably because your TV’s PAL. They’re not compatible you see. The TV out in the living room’s probably MULTISYSTEM. So that’s why it works fine outside.

What you need my friend, is a MULTISYSTEM ‘telly’ in your room. Or one that’s at least compatible with the NTSC standard. Your telly’s probably older than your grand dad. Get a new TV so you won’t have to play in black and white.

Besides, if you’re gonna watch any porn on your PS2 in your room, you’re gonna need all those differents shades of pink to do them skin flicks any justice.
