Semi-Daily Ramblings
07/27/98: 12:03a EST: So another year down... It's the big B-day for me today. Among the great gifts i've recived are a toilet seat, a shower head, and many a DVD. Look for some major review-age from me in the coming weeks. I think i'll take a week or two off but then i'm planning on getting all of these up on the page before we all congregate in the fall. Also, if any of you have special requests... make sure and email me and tell me! Here's to this year being as good as the last!!

06/06/98: 8:12p EST: Well well well, lots of stuff has taken my time this past few weeks. Work proves to be.. well... work, but i'm gradually finding time to catch a few great DVDs and write reviews for them.. make sure to visit the site fairly frequently next week, for we're planning on making up for last week's petty lack of content. Anyone that checked out DVDResource.com surely saw that we're featured in an article appearing in Video Store Magazine titled "Web Surfers Find News, Rumors, Gossip on New Breed of DVD Sites" written by Diane Garrett. It's very cool to see other people actually acknowledging the site... I'm Happy!

In film news, i saw The Truman Show last night and really enjoyed it. Peter Weir is a master in the art of direction and should recieve some recognition for bringing this wonderfully unconventional script to life. Jim Carrey did pretty good as well in my opinion...

05/25/98: 2:17a EST: As you can see we're switching to a slightly different format for the summer. I know i find myself in a strange land called Virginia, away from my precious team members and on my own as far as DVD selection goes. This could be a good thing and could be a bad thing, meaning gone are the weeks of team reviews, featuring four unique points of view on each title, but say hello to a wider range of reviews, since each of us can choose what we wish. Once in a while we'll overlap, but for the most part i forsee general anarchy. Relax, dear audience, for we'll all return to each other once the leaves turn color, uniting once again to view, review and perhaps catch up on other's reviews... but until then, enjoy the fray!

oh yeah, i almost forgot... something's on the horizon... keep a lookout...

05/13/98: 4:17p EST: Well, what was intended as my first rant has become my first Feature!! Check it out.. i go off...

In other news, i'm lonely... anyone feel like emailing me?

05/01/98: 2:36a EST: I've been reading some feedback on the sites in various sites and forums... Good stuff and bad... of course all criticism is good, but a couple of people have been whining rather mindlessly about it. Please, if you're gonna bust on the site, know what you're talking about. One person was apalled that one of us "was open to the idea of DIVX." Now if that guy had read Chicken Buddha's wonderfully written article, he'd see how he thinks Circuit City is a company run by monkeys in lederhosen just liek all of us do. So please, be intelligent with your remarks. Stupid people make me mad.

P.S. Did anyone catch the new Toxic Hell commercial? with the theme song? AWWW YEAH. 'Glod Bless You Taco Bell" (sniffle) (sniffle)....

04/29/98:12:36a EST: Today is National 'No DIVX' Day. Make sure all you guys and gals make yourself heard by emailing Fox and Disney and telling them where their head is and how to get it dislodged. Power to the People, Viva Gorditas, Holy $h!t, where's the tylenol...

04/28/98:02:35p EST: Well, i updated with my first weekly list of new DVD releases. If i ever miss any or mess any up don't be afraid to mail me and yell at me. I'll most likely correct it.

Has Anyone ever seen a movie called 'Bedazzled'? if so drop me an email. thanks.

Where did it come from?
Tribal Hammer Loins is actually just a scramble of my real name, so don't go thinking I'm too zany. It does sound cool though doesn't it?

What am I going to say?
I don't own a DVD player. I'm not looking to critique the technical aspects of each disc. Although the digital transfer does intrigue me, I believe that giving a piece of crap a chrome glossing doesn't make it smell any better. I'm a firm believer of the artist's message, meaning I'm against abridged books on tape and most sequels, but I'm also pretty malleable when it comes to having a good time. If a director makes a movie to have fun, I'm usually there with him. It's when that message is absent that I start becoming cynical. Beware though, i don't really care to read reviews before i watch a film, so i presume that the reader has already seen the film i'm reviewing. If you don't like that, deal.
