I'm being (mis) quoted on a DVD cover :D

Post by HungFist »

Being a small forum for 7½ members, I suppose I'm allowed one bullshit topic. I mean bloody hell, I'm being quoted on the Finnish Robo-Geisha DVD cover. I just found out today when someone linked me the cover art.

"Laugh out loud moments of inventiveness come in frequent intervals." - Elitisti.net

(rough translation, the review is in Finnish and I've used one word that I can't translate into English)

The funny thing is that my review is almost fully negative. That sentense was kinda taken out of context. The sentense that precedes it, is "Thankfully Robo-Geisha is not a total failure.". I couln't possibly be offended by it, though. The disc is released by a film festival organization that is running the coolest film fest in the world, Nigh Visions. So I take it with humour.

Original review:

My English review (basically run of the mill quick translation of the original Finnish text, not to be taken as quality refenrence)

Fuck whether they've misquoted him or not, just getting a quote on the front cover of a retail release is pretty damn good going! Nice one Hung! :D

I think I've been quoted on a couple of Anime titles, but never by name and never on the front cover (always on the back and as DVDTimes). I did get my name in N64 magazine back in the day when they ran a Goldeneye challenge competition and I was in the top100! :icon_suspect: :lol:

Which issue? I might have it.

I'm alas far behind now because they stopped doing 'Scratch and Dents' and I can't afford the full pricers. :(

BTW. I got a 'thanks' credit in Issue 100 thanks to John Charles. :cool:

I'd have been annoyed too. It is cool to be quoted though.

It makes sense. If that helps.
