I find that they do the trick. That is, when I actually ink. (I'd rather not.)

When I do ink, I usually ink the outer lines two or three times, to give them a bit of a chaotic edge.

The story behind the strangest DVD release of the year..., September 23, 2003
By Stephen Thrower
I first saw Death Bed: The Bed That Eats in 1988: a friend had discovered it whilst browsing at a cheap video sale and decided to spring the film on me. I was smitten by its weird aura right there and then, and mystified too. Who on Earth made it? What was the director playing at? How did such a movie get made? Death Bed, with its cheesy cover and `you're kidding me' title, was devoid of any credits, save for the words "(c) George Barry 1977." The mystery of Death Bed's origins was intensified as the film gathered momentum, from creepy comedy to poetic folk-tale to surreal horror: its mood ricocheted between registers in a way that defied categorisation, either as mind-warped outsider art, insane student project, or exploitation film gone awry. There was a streak of comedy, but the film wasn't just a cheap laugh: instead there was a loose, wayward dreaminess which gave Death Bed an impact all its own. I remember thinking `I must find out who made this!'. But no-one knew anything about Death Bed: the video label had disappeared, the name `George Barry' was anonymous enough to belong to a hundred thousand Americans. And so the trail went cold...
In 2002 I began work on a book about maverick American directors and my desire to find out more about Death Bed was re-ignited. Through the auspices of film researcher Marc Morris and a British web-site, Lightsfade, I finally had the chance to talk to George Barry and hear the full Death Bed story...

George Barry was born in 1949 and raised in Royal Oak, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit where he still lives today. He began making films whilst studying at University, and in 1972 - after working on a few b/w 16mm shorts - he decided to go for broke with a colour 16mm feature film to be blown up for theatrical release. Using $10,000 of his own money he began filming Death Bed, a project that would eventually span five years and cost around $30,000. Barry decided to weave a story around a dream he'd had - about an engulfing, possibly carnivorous bed...
With cameraman Robert Fresco, he headed for the Gar Wood Mansion outside Detroit, commencing the shoot in late Spring 1972. The core of the movie was then filmed over three weeks in the spring and summer. Assembled during 1976 by experienced Detroit TV editor Ron Medico, Death Bed's 16mm answer print was finally struck in '77.
Unfortunately, Barry's problems were only just beginning. Over the next few years he travelled to L.A. and New York several times, making the rounds of the small distributors. But with slasher films on the rise, Death Bed was always going to be a hard sell. Those who did show interest were put off by the blow-up costs, or were offering virtually no return.
The next convolution in the Death Bed saga would lead to the film at last reaching a few devoted fans: although it all came as a great surprise to Barry himself. In the early 1980s he'd sent the answer print, which was still without credits at the time, to a small LA company interested in obtaining video rights. He was offered $1000 for a finished video master. But Barry was chronically short of cash and unable to shoot the missing credits. Time passed, and the answer print was eventually returned.
What he didn't know was that the `interested party' had unscrupulously pirated a copy of Death Bed before sending it back. It was this version that snuck out onto tape in Great Britain in the late-1980s, on the supremely obscure `Portland' label.
Those who did notice it were tuned not to the noisy gore frequencies of the nasties but to a stranger, more elusive bandwidth. Death Bed is not a gorehound movie - viewers are required to spin their mental wireless to the space between stations, where the shipping forecasts, foreign signals and dream-voices live.
Eventually, In 2002, Daniel Craddock of the British website Lightsfade published an on-line review of the film, which at last alerted its director to the existence of the pirated version.

"Death Bed came from a dream and, to begin with, I wrote the story as more a fairy tale than a horror film. We shot the story as possibly more horror film than fairy tale, then in the editing process Death Bed tried to return to its fairy tale origins."

The best movies leave something elusive behind, a lingering impression that drifts through the mind like Haven Gillespie's "haunting refrain": a special something that seems to dance out of reach when you try and look directly. There are skilled directors whose work, for all its craft, will never possess this quality, which is a dream quality and far from common. And there are films built on such uncommon lines that they're steeped in this strange pleasure even when their conventional limitations are readily obvious. It's in this way that a cheaply produced film, made at the very fringes of the industry, can stay with you after a major production has hurried faceless out of your memory.
The lines crossed by Death Bed are an index of its quality. Set in the twilight between genres - between comedy and horror, art and artless, mundane and insane - it draws on energies lost to more sensible films.
"People not only forget their dreams, they often forget about their dreams. They forget about the process of dreaming.", says Barry. If this is true, how great it is to see this DVD release, a dream thought lost and forgotten, now magically recalled in miraculous detail. Here's to the unique and lingering spell of Death Bed!

Suh-weet! I won my PayPal dispute against shitty eBay seller. PayPal gave her 11-12 days to respond before finally finding in my favor. According to the e-mail they recovered the full amount and if I'm reading it right I think it may be credited directly back to the CC I used to pay. Which would certainly be preferrable to me over having it sit in my PayPal balance until I buy something else. But really either way I'm happy to get my money back.

Ah, and it just now shows up in my history as a credit back to my card. Noice!

Also PayPal isn't even instructing me to send the wrong item I got back to shitty seller. :lol:


-----------------------------------
What to Do Next
-----------------------------------

No further action is required by you at this time.


If she contacts me about sending it back, I suppose I will but I'm certainly not going to do it without her asking me. That would be her first contact outside of automated e-mails BTW. What a shitty seller.

My guess is that if she responded requesting I send it back before granting the refund, PayPal probably would have gone with that plan.

What item did you get wubb?

I ordered 2 Netgear XE102 units (powerline ethernet adapters) to use with my 360.

But got 2 Netgear WGX102 units (wireless powerline adapters) which are completely different and actually won't do a damn thing without yet another different unit plugged into the router.

So now I guess I'm back in the market for a pair of XE102's or similarly cheap powerline ethernet adapters. I might just go to Best Buy and pick up whatever they have to make sure the concept will work for me.

Hmm, maybe I'll be a royal ass to this lady if she asks me to send it back and tell her I want to contact PayPal and see if they say that I should ship the item back or not. "I'll let you know when they get back to me."

That's bad Karma...You won the dispute. If she wants you to ship it back, tell her that she has to pay for shipping up front. That's reasonable. No need to sink to her level. And congratz on the win!

Not a bad price, but I had a different wireless adapter I tried (Netgear WET11) and it doesn't get a strong signal in my basement. Sometimes it worked fine, every so often it would drop a lot. I'm actually using it now but it's sitting at the top of the stairs and connected to my 360 via a long ethernet cable. :lol:

That thing very well may have a better antenna or whatever and work fine (my laptop works great from the basement...) but I think I'd want to buy another wireless solution from a B&M for easier return.

True, I suppose I should just keep it clean and cordial.

And actually yeah asking her to pay the return S&H is a good wrinkle. PayPal wouldn't have forced her to do that but that ship has sailed so she doesn't have any leverage left at this point.

"I'll be happy to ship this item back to you once you have sent me $9.95 (what she charged for S&H) to my PayPal account to cover the return shipping and handling. I'm unable to process your request until I receive these funds. Thank you."

Maybe I'll be a tad nicer and just ask her for the amount that would cover the postage and insurance. :mrgreen:

Kurosawa influenced Lucas too. Apparently some of the light saber battles in Star Wars were stolen scene-for-scene from Hidden Fortress.

Kursawa loved Westerns. Look at Seven Samurai, which was adapted later to be The Magnificent Seven. SS is one of the greatest ever, but it is shot so much like Westerns would be. Same thing with Rashomon. Rashomon, if nothing else, is a postmodern exercise in thought, consciousness, and memory. But it is shot in a very similar way.

Check out some Ford films as well. I know Ford and Kurosawa influenced each other.

And I take back High Noon. Unforgiven is my favorite Western. That movie has so much power and is worthy of all the praise it received. I really wish Westerns would make a comeback. They're too politically charged, though, so I doubt if we'll see a true resurgence anytime soon.

Question for you tech people ... I have a toshiba hd-a3. Unfortunately the only open hd inputs I have available on my tv are component. So is one type of component better than another. Is there one out of the list below I should get:

http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10235

I'm thinking I'll get this one:

http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10235&cs_id=1023501&p_id=320&seq=1&format=2

Is that ok?

Also, is that my best option or should I get some manner of hdmi hub type device?Your TV is 720p, so it won't matter if you went HDMI or component, except for the one cable/five cable difference between the two.

Monoprice's cables should be OK for your needs, and I think the one you showed should work OK.

Ok, thanks Shrike. One component cable coming up.If it was a 1080p set, then it still wouldn't matter, as the A3 isn't 1080p capable, only 1080i capable.

Component works OK for that. It's only 1080p that gets a little funny on what you need for cables.

Shrike, any thoughts on this (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3863665&postcount=140)?The stock AV cable and HDMI cable won't work, no.

The MS HDMI kit does have the audio dongle that does fit with the HDMI cable, and I think there's a 3rd party cable AV cable that fits with an HDMI cable at the same time. Shaving down the plastic around the AV connector works as well.

There's one or more threads in the 360 forum about this, as well as out there on the Internet.

That extender might work, as I have one of those on my TV for the HDMI port.

All of that.

The worst of it was when she was standing down my hall, summoning me to the bathroom, licking her lips and making gestures.

What was worse was my friends peering around the living room corner and seeing her do it. It made me feel emasculated that my friends actually saw me turn down sex, as they've only heard about it (even though I almost walked down there, like, eight times).

I had to walk her to the front door of the apartment building, and she kept trying to get frisky the entire way down. She even tried getting me to kiss her, and I didn't. :rofl:

It's cool, though. My friends know my personality, and admired my iron will.

I'm crying over the fact that I made her want me even more by not letting her do it. And if I did let her do it, I'd have the same result. :bomb:

However, I am crying about her stealing my pen.

We at PS3 Fanboy hear that Japan is changing its name to Demoland to more accurately reflect just how many demos it's receiving on the PS3. On top of today's new PixelJunk Monsters (http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/01/22/want-to-try-out-pixeljunk-monsters-before-thursday-you-can/), the Japanese Store will receive a Devil May Cry 4 (http://www.ps3fanboy.com/tag/devil-may-cry-4) demo. It will be nearly identical to the TGS demo, with a few changes. The quality reflected will be the same as the gold version of the game, rather than the rougher cut that was shown at TGS.
