Well, looking at this week's posts I didn't see anything degrading or anything towards another user. Maybe the search didn't show it to me or something. /shrug.

Check out his PL forum works. My guess is he earned the infraction that broke the camels back in this thread.

Found it. The one-line samples of the thread posts didn't help.

I forgot to mention: my movies from Monday.

Final Fantasy looks and sounds AMAZING. Streets of Fire sounds ok but looks too dark. Maybe it was the original print? I haven't played Frighteners yet. I also picked up 300 on BR (not paying $5 more for a combo) and "Blue Planet/The Dream Is Alive" on BR.

I read the other day that the problem with Sony getting into the adult industry is that they can't replicate the discs where they press Disney films. Disney doesn't want any accidents. I think they sorted that all out.

It seems that Sony is now starting to get a clue.

However...
Apparently, Blu-ray is now the preferred medium for Japanese adult films.
Blu-ray had Japanese porn early on. The complainers were the American porn studios.

It may look and sound amazing, but I thought the movie was HORRIBLE. Saw it in the theater and could barely keep myself from walking out. I still crack up with my friends over the last line of the entire movie - "It's so ... warm!"

Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, I guess.
