Bullets 'n' Babes

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.

Lol... you've taken it with better humour than I would.

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!

That's cool Hung Nice one

My only claim to fame is getting a letter published in Video Watchdog

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!

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.

Can't remember to be honest-it was in the 30's i think,someone got Maria Yi mixed up in a review of Big Boss so i sent a letter in correcting him.

Ah, yeah, the expose on Dutch pimps. I remember now.

Must refrain from making a momma-joke....

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

It makes sense. If that helps.
