I'm trying to move out by July 1, which is rapidly approaching. I ain't got time for movies right now.

Going to a rental search place today after work. Not that it means anything to you, but I'm looking in Ferndale or Hazel Park, which are Detroit suburbs.

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
This was a good thread, and I just watched Spirited Away last night, so like, bump or some junk.

Well look at that... and I actually did move by July 1. Hooray for me following through on something big!

Well, I now have a multiregion player, and have Battle Royale II, Castle In The Sky, Eraserhead, Darkwater, Happiness of The Katikuras and Dolls lined up to watch

You know, I didn't think Spirited Away was as good as everyone made out, but still excellent. Plus I can't believe how bad the NTSC format is for anime. The animation just becomes 'jerky'. I only rented it, but if I see it on sale, I'll get tha Region 2 PAL version.
Hooray for Russell and his region-free DVD player. Why anyone would buy otherwise these days is beyond me. Reminds me, I must watch Ju-On: The Grudge at some point.

I thought Spirited Away was really good, but I'm not sure about hailing it a masterpiece. It had a few moments that had my head scratching (why on earth did she befriend the baby and bird-thing so quickly, just because they changed form and size!?). Also, I really liked the Mr. No Face Monster Guy Thing, but wasn't quite clear on his significance, if any. Maybe I'm just slow.
Oh yeah, and her parents fucking pissed me off, especially the mom who was a waste of a parent. Lines like "Just wait in the car" and "don't make me trip you little whore" were annoying (maybe I'm paraphrasing). I was hoping for them to get eaten as the stupid pigs they were.

They were the worst parents ever. They just became irritating to watch. Even at the end, when she saves them, they were still wankers and just told her to "hurry up" as they walked back through the tunnel. Should have been turned into pork chops.NAD said:Oh yeah, and her parents fucking pissed me off, especially the mom who was a waste of a parent.

I think it is Miyazaki's best, but I have yet to see a few of them, so
Yase, it took me a long time fighting with my damn computer etc, but I eventually managed to do it without resorting to firmware!

Cheater!
My DVD-ROM on my computer is fucking stupid. The good thing is I can change the region code any time I want, but the bad thing is if you change it more than 5 times, the drive itself becomes completely inoperable. How stupid is that? Not that it matters though, it's one of those CD-ROM / CD-RW / DVD-ROM drives and I never use DVDs anyhow.

True, but I have a rather good and quite expensive region two player, which I don't want to replace
Mine's the same NAD, I found a very neat little way to get around that

Ohh ohhh!!! Tell me please, would ya? Not that I would even use it, but I really don't like having my computer tell me what I can and cannot do.
One day, when you join the rat race and get a job, you too will have 4 DVD players like me.Russell said:True, but I have a rather good and quite expensive region two player, which I don't want to replace

An ickle program called DVD region free, not too hard to get your hands on, but it's $40.. But I have a not so expensive version of it :Smug:
And JK, I know I will! I've got a feeling that day will come before I start working, but still, I'm all for trying to save money
