Grindhouse: Planet Terror
Yes, Singapore finally have the Original Double bill Grindhouse (Limited Screens however) but who is going to pay for something that is watered down when you can catch both on it's own (DVD for Deathproof and Planet Terror on the big screen).
I am not too sure I will since Deathproof on it's own is kind of hmmm....but a watered down Deathproof might bring it to speed for those who aren't Boredproof.
Anyway Planet Terror is surprisingly good for it's B grade glory. QT must have liked Planet Terror (they probably drew lots for what to do on their Grindhouse project....guess who won???) so much he had to be in it himself (as a consolation for not directing it himself???).
Storyline was pretty simple. Some blackmarket experimental Biochemical weapon was set upon a small town in Texas changing the affected into aggressive killer psychopaths. Those who remained normal band themselves to fight their way out.
It was very entertaining. Sad to say it's R21 so if you aren't watching it, you wouldn't be watching it (the legal way).
Among the FAKE trailers in Grindhouse, Machete is set to be a real feature film.
Looking forward to that.

Follow Up to Guess! Controvesy
I feel that the Suzumiya joke was still ok althought they ought to have NOT do it.
The risk is too much having that Anime fans are all IT saavy and very vocal.
The statement by 祐祐 of 黑澀會美眉
"他不該活在這個世界上吧"
MIGHT COST HER in her placing in 黑澀會美眉, a group that eliminates members seasonally in their Variety Show.
To say that another human being shouldn't Exist in the World just based on their looks. That's abit over the top for that guy.
Guess!!! 台灣御宅男special
One of Guess!!! 's staple program is "Ren bu Ke Mau Xiang". Claim to fame bevy of pretty non-celebs coming in for a voting challenge of the day's topic. There are occasional breaks, one of them is the 台灣御宅男 (Taiwanese Hikikomori or Hermit). This is not their first time having such a topic with a previous version and a female edition in '06.
The VCR portion to introduce the topic is correct in content.
The rest of what Jacky had introduced are questionable and not necessary correct.
(Always take what Jacky Wu said in his show with a pinch of salt).
However I do stress that they didn't put a bottom of the barrel type and likely those guys that auditioned probably exaggerated themselves (so to make their makeover looked extreme).
The first contestant was your usual Otaku who gamingly partake in "play acting". How do you know who is a fan or understood what happen???When the guy look away. Observe Wu Zun when Jacky (who claims to Gashbell....does he even know what that is???) challenge Contestant 1 who respond with Ninjitsu (WTH!LOL).
Contestant 1 is a fervent Naruto fan. Who sang Naruto songs. Lol. A japanese student remarked he sang pretty good. I wouldn't really say he is a total recluse, just a regular fan. Ok getting a bolster is quite Mid-Level.
No.2 isn't crazy. He just like to ACT. He is spontenous enough.
Could be Mid-level in anime enough althought he has normal interest (Wu Shu).
He writes (articles and novel) and sought for Literature/Art material.
No.3 is suppose to represent a Higher Hierachy fan.
He try to explain MOE and preference of 2D girls.
A previous discussion of why he dislike Adult Materials probably inspired them to say that Light Novel adverted his sexual desires from Adult stuffs as they had "adult/hentai situations". Despite having a proper defination on the screen, fans complaint about it when Jacky Wu improvise on the Suzumiya Haruhi line of Light novel's expense. Kadokawa Taiwan isn't too happy with the treatment of their product on National TV and made a statement. an official statement on their website
No. 4 is actually a regular guy. A collector and game player.
Sure he travel to meet people for tips and tricks but it's actually more of being a social gamer. Oh well, they do need a slightly special one from the line up.
No. 5 is well....we can't tell if he is austic or just anti-social.
He do get nervious. Very nervious but he do dare to declare his love for a person he saw on the bus everyday on National TV.
LOL to the stylists when given the task to make over them. Personally I feel that no.4 need minimum makeover.
Makeover session and voting.
I took offense to what a particular member of the girl group that is judging them had to say on their pre-makeover look. It's abit too much to say that someone ought to exist because of how they look. Didn't she know she might have alot of fans that look worse than that???
Actually, portrayal of people are always abit off on the media, especially on variety show, where everything is meant to entertain, take it with a pinch of salt.

A problem of Mentality?
Let's drop the subject of ODEX aside for the moment.
Let's talk about Anime Downloaders.
A quick glance of feedback reveals that some people fail to acknowledge the fact that they are being targeted for doing something that is equivalent to stealing (Yes people, pinching is a form of stealing).
If you are thinking I am some H.I.P advocate who abide every rules, I am not. Althought I do believe there should be a certain rules of engagement regarding downloading:
1) You are a Thief. You steal with Stealth.
2) You are not a Terrorist. You don't preach a Higher ORDER over with what You are doing. You don't make a big hoo-ha neither should You be PROUD for what You did.
3) Take what you want and leave the rest. There's no point being caught, your hand in the cookie jar for what you cannot finish.
4) If you really like what you saw, pay for the real thing when you see it on the shelf.
5) There is something wrong with you if you pay for a merchandise many times more than the anime itself when you didn't pay for the anime. And you claim you are a fan.
6) If you didn't like what you saw, you didn't want to buy it then don't download the whole series.
There should be more but the main point is that everyone has to play a part in recognising the harm you will be returning back to the loop. I can see the main stayers, people who wishes the well-being of the circuit, refrain from advocating downloading like it's a God Given Right.
Best part, they claim they made the anime famous. Sad to the say, the credit should go to the fansubbers. Not the downloaders. Serious fans should made the series a commercial success.
Whenever an anime is licence in US, the fansubbers will drop the series. The reaction from Singaporean fans are akin to a crybaby who is being force to return a toy they took from someone else. It was pretty amusing to see the States people to be respecting the gesture.
So, while we Singaporeans are very much well versed in the internet, are we ready to take upon some responsibility by honouring intellectual property? That we are ready to be responsible to any action taken for our errors? That recent happenings are a result of what we did boomerang back to us?

Sing Sang
Those who have STOPPED downloading after the date of Sep 03 will not get any letters from us.
Oh. Assurance.
But....his idea of a warning shot is bizarre.
He was obviously never been threaten or given a dateline.
The reason why the heat escalated so fast was that their previous warning shot failed to sound.
No one can confirm it. No one spread the news and No one DECLARED IT openly.
Yes. The handling of the warning shot is very important.
You need the people to stop, you got to tell them to stop in a CLEAR and AUDIBLE manner.
You will need to go through all medium possible and give them ample time to react.
Sing made his declaration on 03 Sep 1.07pm.
On the ODEX forum
Singaporeans who persisted has......only 11 hours to react?
11 hours to spread the news to everyone. Wow.
24?
LOL.
p.s. d4thday took 30hrs to even give everyone a heads up. So what do you think? Will it be possible that anyone with determination to stop be hearing the news on time??? LOL.

It's not like BFC don't read newspaper
Odex blamed BFC for "their incorrect translation".
BFC hits back.
http://www.todayonline.com/articles/209169.asp
If this doesn't show that Odex path it's way with spin, I don't know what this is.

A game of lies continues....
Previously on Anime Civil War of Infinite Aggression....
Odex had the door slam on their face with their case thrown for lack of supporting evidence and suspiciously lacking the "rights to act".
Now.....
Odex get their expert witness from BayTSP and
Various Japanese Broadcasters and Anime Studio are coming to lend support....it was expected but I didn't realise the extend of their dedication....oh well, if the Bomber had fail to drop the payload and it's up to the Blazing Guns of Yamato to crack the walls down.
A press conference, of course, surfaced and dear old Stephen, motor his mouth away with more "True but not in entirely" answer to one of their better mishaps.
Errors and mistakes in Subtitles.
When we say Errors and mistakes, what do we think of?
Negligence? Complencent? The other Dirty Dozen?
In aircraft work, we got These Twelve Human Factors that will affect Quality.
You got Twelve possible things to say out and not be ashamed of since To Err is Human (To Forgive Divine....a quotable by Alexander Pope, Great Poet of the 18th Century....althought I can say that Forgiveness is hardly available in some people's heart...especially for ODEX. ESPECIALLY FOR ODEX) but you choose the Number 1 rule in a Press Conference.
Deny. Blame. Distract.
Victim of the Blame Game?
BFC. The Board of Film Censorship.
Way to go.
The BFC involvement only covers the parts which are altered by ODEX to suit BFC standards (in which I deduced is Kiasu, Go for ONE PASS without much supporting documentation). BFC does not check for your spelling, grammar and sentence structure (just like how Blogspot doesn't check my spelling, grammar and sentence structure) nor are they paid to do so.
Before we end, let's hear something from TV Tokyo Coporation's representative, Yukio Kawasaki
".....best to solve the problem, is through our licensees in each country....because licensees can take action very quickly. In this case, Odex is a very important partner to us."
and here is how I take it
"Listen!!!The Great Asian Ambition commitee has decide to employ licensees as our Kempeitai.
Kempeitai are the best there!!!And what they do, aren't nice!!! HEAR!!!"
