Dexter

[Said1]

Anyone watching that?

I'm addicted.

My parents get Showtime, so I'll be checking it out over Thanksgiving weekend for sure. It looks really good.

Do you watch Weeds? If you do, don't say anything about the season 2 finale, I haven't seen it yet, and I hear it's a doozy.

No, I don't get that. In fact, if it wasn't for On Demand, I wouldn't get Dexter either.

Watch if you get a chance. Dex puts SCI and all it's knock offs to shame. I was a little disappointed with episode 4 though.,

Bought all the DVD's a week ago. Watched through them. That's some f'd up shit right there, but it sure is addictive.

Do you mean Dexter's Laboratory (the cartoon with that irritating character Dee Dee?)

I'm not caught up on all episodes, how many DVDs did you buy? I was a little disappointed with episode 4, does it pick up again after that?

And ya, some f'd up shit, a'ight.




@Aiky - no, it's not a cartoon

A like-able Miami police forensics expert moonlights as a serial killer of criminals who he believes have escaped justice

I only got a couple of DVDs. My set has about 2 episodes per disc. That being said, you're probably not going to find it. Mine aren't exactly what one would call legal per se...

We must be talking about different shows, the one I'm talking about just started airing on Showtime about 2 months ago, so it's not on DVD yet. I just saw the first episode, though, and it was pretty good stuff.

The serial killer, right?

 

[Dan]

The serial killer, right?

Yeah, this guy...

 

[Mr.Conley]

No, we're talking about the same show. The thing is, I'm in China, you can get the DVD for anything here literally the day it comes out in the States.

For example, I've already got Stranger then Fiction, the Fountain, and every new Colbert Report for the past 3 months on DVD. I even got Casino Royale in DVD quality 2 days before it hit theatres stateside. The reason is because China's illegal DVD market is so widespread that you can get any movie, tv show, music, or computer game within hours of their initial release.

That's awesome. Is that why a lot of the best American bootlegs have Chinese subtitles?

Is it bad that I really wish there was that big of an illegal DVD market here?

Yea, that's probably the reason why. I can literally go out and buy a copy of any movie, video game, etc. the day it comes out for $0.60 per disk. That's right, per disk. They don't even bother to charge you for the actual content your getting, instead you pay for the number of physical DVDs you purchase. That being said, a lot of the really new stuff isn't good quality always. A lot of the really new stuff is often just a guy in a movie theatre so I prefer to wait at least a 2 weeks before purchasing newly released movies. Plus Warner Bros. started selling legal, high quality DVDs here for about $2 a pop. Those DVDs are usually for sale a few days after the state release so I usually go legitimate for those movies. Overall it's great. I've probably spent about $500 to buy about $12,000 worth of content. It's amazing.

 

[Dan]

That's tremendous! I had no clue any of this was going on!

By the way, have you watched The Fountain yet?

 

[Mr.Conley]

It occured to me earlier that even with the $1,200 tickets over here I'm still going to end up making money on this trip simply because I'm saving so much money on food, clothing, DVDs, video games, and even jewelry. Everything in China is just so riddiculously cheap that the intial costs are justified.

By the way, have you watched The Fountain yet?

I haven't seen it yet. I'm going tonight to see it at a movie theatre. The visuals looked so good in the preview that I want to experience them on the big screen.

It looks like a lot of the critics panned it, but I was kind of expecting that. Plus I've had a couple of friends whose opinions I trust a lot more tell me that they started crying by the end of it. And these are people I didn't know had tear ducts. Right now I'm cautiously optimistic, but I'm ready to be let down. Have you seen it? What's your opinion?

Yeah, critics don't like Aronofsky too much. Too stylized, I guess. I've read a lot of people comparing it to Solaris, which I haven't seen.

I'm thinking about going to see it tomorrow afternoon. I'll let you know what I think.
