@zenny, its hard to play devil's advocate for a kidnapping pedophile on any post board. I understand you were trying to offer a reasonable alternative, and if I were the victim of some horrible misunderstanding or misunderstood crime, i would want you in my corner...but when it looks like it, sounds like it and smells like it, you call it what it is....The man kidnapped a girl and took her to a hotel, not his daughter who looked different from him because he is a 42 year old foreigner, not to the possibly divorced fathers house as a paid reunion ...come on, stop fighting everyone. This crime is horrid.

@carsuke- i agree, more action and funnier, but one of the reasons they can hit eachother so many times is because those little arms have no power. the heavyweights are slow but when they hit it rattles their teeth.

Bantamweight is like watching malnourished children fighting. You have to have some mass to put some power behind your punches.

this book sounds about 3 decades too late. How about a guide to more relevant and current Japanese horror movies...like sadako's well and the wooded lodges built over it's location and the Juon house or Kuchisaki ona's (slash mouth woman) house/neighborhood etc.etc. I would buy that one,

I am sure Dr. Johnny Fever and Wolfman Jack (as you are qualified to remember at 50) wouldnt call themselves musicians or consider their turntable in a comparison in any capacity to a Fender.

@ Fadamor, I have no idea why that impresses you. I never said word one about the music quality or the enjoyment factor of the music DJs play. That was horsefellas opinion. I stated that DJs are indeed talented. I just dont agree that a turntable is to dance music what the fender is to rock, which is the backbone of my entire string of posts. I never said dance music, club music, techno, hip hop etc. was only enjoyable with drugs. I dont think a turntable is a musical instrument and I dont think a DJ is a musician anymore than I think a vocalist who sings other peoples songs is a musician, a glorified Karaoke singer-yes....talented-sure...musician...not at all. To be a musician, you have to play a musical instrument and write music. Again- turntable is not a musical instrument. Now what qualifies as music is another issue altogether.

And before you think I am accusing DJs of stealing music, I am not (only if they consider their mixes "original"). and I dont mean to imply DJs are talentless. I think they are very talented, as is the man who fixes my computer, or the guy who knows how to hack his xbox. Becoming efficient with electronic entertainment is very lucrative and handy. Just remember, you are NOT making music, you are PLAYING music... other peoples music. And i am sure you are doing it very very well. Ok? egos satisfied? shoulder chips back in place?

Movies and music are both comparable mediums. Experts on either abound. Analyzing them, splicing them, mixing them etc.etc. A turntable is for playing records. A dvd player is for playing movies. Neither creates the medium they show. If you have a venue using movies you spliced, snippet, or "reference" using sound bytes and charge money calling it your own- or if you have a venue using songs spliced, sped, snipped, mixed or "reference" using sound bytes and charge money calling it your own-you are plagiarizing. Every hip hop song that was written to another artists music pays royalties. Its not a debate about plagiarism- hat word is definitive not debatable. Your blah blah posts about "ignorant" opinions and poorly executed metaphors is irrelevant to the fact that if you didnt write the music IT AINT YOURS. you are NOT a musician, you are a glorified electronics aficionado with delusions of grandeur that makes a great mixed tape for people to dance to. That is it. Just be accountable for what you do and dont try and sell a turntable as a musical instrument. Its a record player that plays other people music, and so is a DJ.

@DuraAce just as all movies have benefited from the Dvd player and Dvd formats. But it doesnt make the Dvd player a camera. It doesnt CREATE movies, it only plays what others have created. You can Blue Ray the movie and add all kinds of features, but it always remains the creation of those that originally created it. the operative word being "original".

at fadamor "The Technics SL-1200 turntable is to dance music what the Fender Stratocaster is to rock". That is putting them both in the musical instrument category. Actually the Fender Stratocaster is to dance music what the fender Stratocaster is to rock is a more suitable comparison as todays dance music has evolved from rock which evolved from the blues. at Virgo, there are loads of movie buffs that can break down every scene and every director and every influence and every 6 degrees to Kevin Bacon, but their ability to line up the best movies for a good nights entertainment doesnt make them film makers.
