Everybody cross your fingers for me...

Okay, Drug-Dealing-Neighbor's VCR broke, so I let him have one of my four (don't ask) to use, and I noticed that he had a DVD player but no DVD's.

Turns out his punk-ass roommate's parents bought it for him when they moved him in, and he doesn't ever plan on using it.

I hope to get him addled on artificial substances and then talk him out of it for around 75$.

Pray for me to succeed.

I am just a little offout by the DVD rage.

Of course, I have a DVD player and about 8 of the mu'fuggers, but why are you all bending over for the DVD Dungeon Master?

Superior graphic quality, sound, and numerous special features. I get it! It is a better way to watch movies. But I am not hawking my VHS library to buy everything again.

But DVD's? You still have to rewind em, right?

I just hooked the player up...now to acquire DVD's...

Ninth Gate is at Target for $13, should I go for it? I have not yet seen it.

Buying films you've not seen. How silly. Wait, I did that with Fight Club ... um .., well it was liked a whole lot, and Ninth Gate was sort of luke-warmly received. Hm... $13? For just a few bucks more you could acquire Fight Club, Jaws, Abyss SE, or any other films to be treasured...

I recommend a rental of Ninth Gate. See if you like it. See if it's something you would want to see again, ad infinitum (sorry, Video ... that means: over and over again until the end of time).

Dude, first thing you do is listen to the Fincher solo commentary. Second thing you do is listen to the Fincher/Norton/Pitt/Carter commentary. Third thing you do is come up with a treatise on how the film would've been improved by lesbians.

So, Fincher solo first? Really? I was going to watch the ensemble commentary first. Why should I grace Fincher with my sole attention, pray tell?

Oh, and I already, from one viewing, can pinpoint several spots where lesbians would have improved a nearly perfect film (for one, replace every character but Pitt and Norton with hot lesbians...fighting. Especially Angel Face...that makes the 'Norton beating him scene' all that more surreal)

Fincher solo first because that's the way I did it, asshole.

Fincher's commentary is a more serious approach to the film, whereas the team one tends to be more "fun" ... albeit interesting as well. You can watch 'em in whatever order you please, okay? You're a grown man (with a dwarven penis, it's true) so you can make up (not make-up, mind you) your own ((or borrowed) little) mind.

That is, if you can get your system to work, you neanderthal!

None of this is to be taken personally, you thin-skinned, dwarven-penised, into-hock-for-a-mind, cro-magnan, nerd kicker!

Okay, so long as you keep your cock-knocking opinions to yourself, four-eyes! NOBODY dictates what I see and when, you got that? Sweartagod if this wasn't the internet I'd beat your lily ass like you beg momma to do! Fuckin' pansy. Why can't you just leave this alone?

Listen, dick jerk, I don't have to keep my opinions to myself -- this is a board about opinions! You don't have the right, even though you seem to have the nerve, to try to silence me and my thoughts! Watch what the hell you want, in whatever order you want, on your felonious DVD player--yep, receiving likely stolen goods is cool. Wow. Wish I were just like you, jerk dick. SHUT UP!

Alright, mr. "Evil-James-Bond-Villain-Guy", I've sat on these boards since January 2nd, FOUR DAYS after you got here, and I've just bided my time and bit my tongue now for months and months about your goddamn sanctimonious attitudes! Ranting here, sniping there, always with a snide fucking word or a one-liner to make a guy question his previous post!

So I have a stolen DVD player, yeah? It's the commerce that makes the world go around! You don't like it, you gotta a moral problem with it, Blo me!

The moral problem I have with you has nothing to do with however you acquired your non-functioning DVD player! How dare you bring young children into this world when you're incapable of providing for them anything but a lesbian porn collection! MY GOD, what is this world coming to? ANYBODY WITH A DICK CAN HAVE A CHILD, but it's clear you are incapable of raising one to be a responsible member of society. "Look, daughter -- let's watch The Little Mermaid on daddy's stolen player. Don't mind the movement under the blanket during the Ariel scenes ... daddy is just playing his own littel movie in his head."

Came to the board 4 days after me? Fine. Wish you'd had about 3 decades more maturity before you started posting here.

How scathing. i wish we could ALL be failed actors that launched into a comfortable career selling insurance through nepotism! neat that your five-year old gets his religious beliefs through his dad's views on star wars. nice to know you can tell the difference between lesbian jokes and social commentary! too bad you can't keep your inner anger from spilling over onto hapless folks who happen to post on a board because their common interest is MOVIES.

Keep it coming. i'm interested in your staying power.

I'll keep it coming, all right. What, you expect me just to curl up and die because you have some opinions about my life? I'm proud of it all, dill-weed. Had to make some choices, responsible ones ... howsabout you? Your choices are: which book do I steal today?

I bet what you're doing right now is corraling all your little buddies. the emails are flying, I'm sure -- "Ooo, come help me chenzzo, HAM, DJevil, hellblazer -- the big, bad, Bond-villain man has his sites set on me, and I'm a scared!"

Yep, I've got my sites on you, Justin. And I'm going to show you how it's done!

Asshole.

responsible? I'll show you responsible.i work my fingers to the bone. I get up at 4am so my family can eat and have insurance.so i steal some too, so what? it's a good way to get by. responsible? i went to college, hell, i took the LSAT's and did fine on them, but stayed back to take care of my ailing mother. no law school for me. no cushy job for me.

You think i'd call my friends out for YOU???i think you have over-inflated your own ability to deal with the 'problem' you feel i represent.you want to keep bringing it on then keep bringing it on.my feelings are not so easily hurt by the likes of you.you just need to grow a thicker skin.

You whore.
