I just want to add that I think its terrible that he's dead, I guess it seemd a bit calous when I started asking about ADR on the movie in the middle of all this.

Its just that i see him foremost as an actor and thus an artist...and the one thing artist's do is leave stuff behind for the rest of us. And to me the only thing worse than him dying, would be him dying and ALSO not getting to finish up what might be his greatest role.

As a batman fan too, i'm worried that Warner will mess with the film now. Like for example if Joker was killed in the movie...they could well change that to avoid possible backlash.

I'm starting to get nervous about the Australian Shows next month.

Doesn't surprise me to be honest.

For all his other issues MJ was a musical gem...those bass lines are incrediable.....why would something like that sound better remixed by the punks we have today in the music business.

Kanye West? All i know of him was that "Stronger" Song he did which just ripped off Daft Punk anyway.

If that's directed at me I'm not sure what your getting at.

I wasn't attempting to get into an argument with anyone, i was just sharing how his comments made me feel.

All i ment to be saying was that while I like MM's music, it seemed his comments were illogical (attributing a perceived negative change in the band's performance to sobriety when theres been a 20 year time gap and a new band, it seems to me that drugs or lack thereof would be the least relevant factor). I just didn't think it added up.

I'll admit I went on a rant about the "hey kids" but - but thats because its a pet-peve of mine when people preface stuff with "no offence" or "i'm not saying to try this" right before they advocate something inherently offensive, dangerous or stupid. I don't mind them advocating it, but I wish they'd have the courage to own their actual opinions.

For example. If manson truely thinks artists perform better on drugs he should come out and say so. Not whitewash it with the "i'm not saying to go do this" bit - cos to me all that does is say he's scared of copping critism from the media/pc crowd etc who will winge about leading kids astray. So i feel like one should either accept that drugs lead people astray but that they personally feel performance would be better with them - and admit it freely and say "fuck off" when people accuse them of corrupting others. OR - accept that its not good to promote drug use in this manner. Don't promote it with a token warning at the start that makes no sence. Like what is the actual message? "Don't do it - unless you want your performance to be good like it once was". Maybe its me. I just see it as a contridiction.

HOWEVER...all that aside...YOUR RIGHT - i'm not familiar with MM sence of humour at all - all i know of him is a couple of the records he is on...so if it was a joke...well then thats a lot more reasonable and would explain why it made no sence to me.

Ok cool..thanks for the feeback...its always nice to talk to people who actually own the players rather than just site reviewers.

So many decisions in Home Theatre land for me at the moment.

Right now i'm considering importing my next projector from japan or the usa - as in Australia they are double the retail price for no real reason - even after i account for shipping, import duties and the exchange rate! . But then the risk is - if its DOA or has dead-pixles or something (on lcd) out of the box - its not going to be easy to send it back to japan.
