Sin City comes out next month, but DON'T buy it. It's the theatrical version and it's bare bones. The Directors Cut is coming out in about five months or more. They shot every scene that was in the comics, but some, like Marv getting his gun from his mom's house, got cut out.

I won't be around to be buying the Directors Cut joint in 5 months anyway. So for now just the movie straight up is cool by me. I mean, ppl was saying that about Kill Bill aswell, and there hasnt been any versions packed with extras yet.

One thing about DVDs though IS the kick in the face when you got the movie and then a special edition comes out. That blows. But if I really enjoy the movie anyway, i'll suck it up and buy the editions that got the extras.

And here's my DVD collection, for teh hell of it.
http://www.dvdaficionado.com/dvds.html?cat=1&id=nemesis00

Oh shit what's this site about? I should sign up to that and put my collection on there. That way i can keep track of my shit.

...But according to Maxim, Rob Rodriguez is a DVD freak so I'll pass on this one(or not).

I'm not sure. I know that he does make movie threads, but i thought that it was more genre specific. Also, i notice that GD threads fall off after a certain amount of time now, so you cant find some shit that's in like march or something if it hasnt been bumped.

Slide

07-30-2005, 04:16 PM

Can anyone put together a list of movies that have the BEST sound and picture quality? As in zero video artifacts and DTS audio? Terminator 2 Extreme Edition would be one example. Any others?

I'm more interested in collecting DVDs that show off my modest HT setup than watching commentaries and playing with easter eggs..

Anything superbit should do right?

On the dvdaficionado site, put in the dvd you are looking for and then see if there is a superbit version for it.

Yeh the fifth element is dope, i'll add that to the wishlist with fight club too.

Do you have any idea when the supposed "even more special" edition of the Godfather trilogy comes out? I remember Psycho Gorath mentioned it in an older thread but since then I haven't read anywhere about it

I did notice an extreme price drop recently, but there is still nothing on the radar. No announcements, no nothing. If you havent bought it already, I guess you should hold out, but im fine with the set, seeing how the newly remastered Godfather Trilogy DVDs wont be out until at LEAST 2006, maybe later if they are delayed until HD/Bluray come out and have gained a semblance of acceptance.

i actually paid $45 for it in COSTCO (lol) when seasons 1 and 2 came out.

Is that Street Fighter as in Van Damme SF movie? SF Collector's Edition is $9 at the Walmart bin/Shoppers Drug Mart !!

i dunno if i can find time to catalog all my movies, i can barely keep up with cataloguing my comics. lol

btw i just bought 3 SNL DVDs today:
"Best of Christopher Walken" and "Best of Will Ferrel" volume 1 and 2". I haven't had the chance to see them yet since I saw "Hustle and Flow". I'll put a little review tomorrow when i get around to watching them.

Yeh it's like that for me too at my mom's house. This is why I don't personally own some of the "essential" DVDs in my own collection, because I didn't have to have them at the time. I should be getting them at some point, just no rush.

i dunno if i can find time to catalog all my movies, i can barely keep up with cataloguing my comics. lol

Logging your movies on there is just as simple as typing the title in, and then clicking the version you have. You can type up to 300 titles at one time.

Thanks for these links, but finding/ordering them online is not a problem. Problem is trying to get the mail on post here, shit takes forever and may get lost. So i find it much easier to try and find these movies in a store somewhere instead. After this week though I might have something set up for packages.

Good thing about that site is that I can keep track of my DVDs. It got out of control when i started getting alot more. I now realize that I am missing a couple, and one of them i remember was Iron Monkey. I let someone borrow it and i havent seen it for months. Fuck i aint letting nobody borrow my shit anymore. ppl irresponsible and can't return stuff, unless they intentionally kept it. I bet if i were to run up on whomever borrowed it without returning it, would try to act like it was theirs and they been owned it.

Am I the only one here that can't help but rummage in the DVD bargain bin.......?

Anyway, another thing about DVD's I like is the "Deleted" scenes.......if it doesn't have delete4d scenes I will most likely not buy it. Anime is an exception.

I was watching the deleted scenes from Conatantine, and I was kind of pissed because I thought they were good scenes that should've been in the theatrical release. I felt the same with Dogma, and Boiler Room.

Nope, i look in those bargain bins too. No reason not too, you can usually find those obscure movies in there that you didnt even know was released on DVD.

Yeh i'm big on deleted scenes and interviews and whole shabangbang. I mean, alot of times it can even make a decent movie you thought was ok, tight. And if you already really like a flick, it has you lovin it. Can have stuff like extra footage on one of your favorite scenes.

EDIT: hahaha I remember I watched Jackass and Resident Evil with the audio commentary all the way through. And then I think one of the stars in Resident Evil said that they like to watch/listen to the audio/video commentary before a regular watch through.

k gotta enter some more titles later in DVD afficionado, that site is dope although browsing titles or advanced searches would make adding stuff more convenient.

I let someone borrow it and i havent seen it for months. Fuck i aint letting nobody borrow my shit anymore.

THE FUCKIN TRUTH. I've always been ok with lending my stuff but I never get it back and if I do it comes back in shit condition. I had to buy my 24 DVDs twice coz the guy who borrowed it LENT THE FUCKIN THING TO HIS CO-WORKER like it was his own without telling me. ugh...that shouldn't have been a surprise to me, hell before I bought the DVDs I had tvrips of 24 season 2 lent to someone and I didnt even get that back, if even borrowed bootleg copies don't get respect then expect worse with the real thing.

FUCK, i'm just venting right now because this really pisses me off. I learned my lesson and NEVER LEND ANYONE ANYTHING! hell not even my gf can borrow my movies anymore, not even if you are my cancer-stricken uncle and its your last wish to watch this movie, no fuckin way. I don't care if i sound like a dick to ppl who want to borrow my stuff, its just not gonna happen, although you are free to watch it with me at my home.

Am I the only one here that can't help but rummage in the DVD bargain bin.......?

haha same here, I love finding good stuff but I hate the bin format. There are lots of bargain DVD places in my city that have neatly organized bargain stuff on shelves, like $5 DVDs and video tapes.
Chinatown and asian malls are also great for stuff although I hate asking the guy/woman on the counter about the video/DVD (like "Does this shit have subtitles?") because they never seem to give a shit about customer service.

Anyway, another thing about DVD's I like is the "Deleted" scenes.......if it doesn't have delete4d scenes I will most likely not buy it.

Special features are definitely a HUGE factor if a DVD gets bought or not. Although I HATE when a DVD tries to pass Scene Selections and Menus as "Special Features". lol.

Commentaries are always great, even if its a bad movie. In fact, try watching SF the movie (Stephen D'Souza) or "Alone in the Dark" (Uwe Boll) with commentaries and its even more hilarious than just plainly watching it.

Here are some insane Uwe Boll rantings on the Alone in the Dark DVD:

"In the beginning, I think that people wanted an 'Alone in the Dark' movie, and they were very...very sad because the movie was not being made, so I am very glad that we were able to get the license and to make the movie."

"Tara Reid here looks very intelligent in her glasses. I hope."

"I think the problem now with Hollywood movies is that they are not given enough time to develop."

"About the theatrical performance for 'Alone in the Dark', I am very disappointed...Because by the time it was released, people had sat through "Darkness" and "Boogeyman" and "White Noise" and "Hide and Seek", and these are all not very good movies. It's always go into some haunted house, and...look in your closet, look under your bed...maybe there is something hiding in your house or...or behind the--the shower, or...They're all the same movie, and yet all of these movies make money?! And because 'Alone in the Dark' is not a CLEAR-CUT action movie, it is not a CLEAR-CUT horror movie, it is not a CLEAR-CUT sci-fi movie...it did not make money at the...at the...And I hope that this DVD gets out there and that people finally see the movie, because the movie deserves it, and...and I don't care what--trash people is talking about on the Internet, 'Alone in the Dark' is way better, way better as 'House of the Dead'. In all ways."

"People say this sex scene is out of place, but if you think about it, it is before, she had said she was his girlfriend and he has been gone for three months, so a little sex is normal...What is disappointing for all the fans I am sure, is Tara Reid keeps her bra on in this scene, but that is because of this prude American thing where they will not show nudity in a movie...which is a disappointment to all us Europeans, and also I am sure to the fans...Kristanna Loken in "BloodRayne" shows full nudity. (He actually snickers here.) It's so funny, Tara Reid is walking into parties naked and losing her shirt at the awards show and she will not take off her bra for a movie. It is an idiotic thing."

After revealing that Tara Reid hurt herself jumping out of the hatch near the end of the movie:

"Tara Reid promoted this movie very well, and she was very supportive, but she does not, I'm afraid, have the body for this type of movie. She is a very good actress, and she was very supportive, but she is not quite right for this role, I am afraid."

"I cannot figure out why Christian and Stephen are not on the A-list where they belong. Is Keanu Reeves really that great an actor...or is he stoic and flat?"

Re: the epilogue of "AitD":

"Now with the city evacuated, I had another ending with everyone being evacuated, I should have shot that ending for the...(dumb/damn/damp/dump)...audience who likes to see stupid stuff like that. But I went for a much more surreal ending, a more David Lynch-like ending...and I got punished for it, and damaged, in the IMDB chat rooms--or wherever else people talk about Uwe Boll's movies, and they talk about how it's not as good as "Aliens vs. Predators" or whatever, so uh, good luck with "Hide and Seek, Part 2", and every other movie that was not directed by Uwe Boll."

"So I am Uwe Boll and this is the end of my commentary, so...I will see you....again...soon...'Bye."

Another thing you guys might be interested in getting is MediaMan (http://www.imediaman.com/) It's like DVDafcionado except that it's an actual program. You can list DVDs, books, CD's, games, etc. on it just by typing in the UPC, ISBN or Title. The design is really slick. If you have a good webcam you can actually hold up the barcode to the cam and MediaMan can actually detect what it is that way (though I haven't had much luck since I've got a shitty webcam). It's pretty handy, especially if you lend out things to friends and you want to remember who has what. It also can handle imports (it pulls it's info from Amazon.com, but you can also have it pull info from Amazon Japan or Amazon Germany).

can any of you dvd-philes explain to me why the hell the twin peaks pilot episode is only available in its true form in region 2 encoding? i'm just gonna have to breakdown and get a region-free dvd player...
i think you are mistaken here.

not sure what you mean by "true form" - the extended form of the pilot aka the "movie version" was originally created as a stand alone TP movie for overseas markets in case the tv show didnt get picked up so the investors could make their money back (instead of having a failed tv pilot, they would have a full david lynch movie). The weird tacked on ending doesnt segue into the show and if I remember correctly is a big spoiler anyway.

I traded in my season 1 tp box and havent bought any tp dvd items except for FWWM. Lions Gate swallowed up Artisan two years ago so eventually we should see a suitable box set of the series including the pilot.

Well, due to circumstances such as missing DVDs when lending shit out, i wont need MediaMan to keep track of what is missing... because i wont be lending anything out from here on. Also, i dont have any places to host the files and whatnot. But for anyone else that needs something like that, that's a viable option.

Rashomon is a kick ass movie. It was made in 1950 by Akira Kurosawa (famous for The Seven Samurai), and yea, basically you described what its about.

Even if you dont usually enjoy foreign films I would recommend Rashomon.

You don't own the SW original trilogy? Am I still on planet Earth?

Taichi

08-20-2005, 05:03 AM

haha, I'm still in the process of converting my VHS collection to DVD, my classic trilogy is on VHS.....

I'm really not a big SW fan anymore, so it's not a top priority, like LOTR was......yeah, I have two versions of each LOTR movie, and have NO plans to sell/trade either version......I made a conscious effort to collect the version I fell in love with in the theater, but also to have the extended editions (which I paid out the ass for), to watch when I have several hours to spare.....which, really isn't that often....

the reason my anime collection may seem disjointed is thus:

most of 'em were gifts, the only series I really like are: Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, and Outlaw Star....

the other ones, were either gifts from people who bought it, but didn't like it (or didn't wanna collect the whole series), or something I bought with the intent of collecting the series (like the Gundam stuff), and just lost interest.....though, I may finish 08th team eventually......

The thing is, I'm a HUGE movie fan, and if you looked at my collection as a whole (and cut out the Anime), you'd really get a better view of my taste in movies....

my VHS collection combined with my DVD collection provides a much broader scope of my tastes, I still have yet to upgrade my superhero movie collection to DVD (My Kevin Smith flicks, Superman 1&2, Batman and Batman Returns, Spiderman 1 & 2, etc. are all still on VHS)

and I have BARELY scratched the surface of my tastes, some things I may NEVER get, such as Ghostbusters 1&2, and many, many others.......I just don't have the cash for it, I try to grab one DVD every other week (or, on a good week, two cheaper ones)

but I like just about every genre, focusing mainly on the films I loved as a kid (80s flicks).....

I've quit buying VHS, since most stores don't even CARRY it anymore, but I got some great deals on films as they were phasing it out.......and if I just wanted to watch the movie, I usually would just grab the tape, but now I'm focusing on enhancing my DVD collection (because it'll take up less space), and ditching the tapes.....

only problem is, some things just weren't released on DVD....it's not like I'll ever see the Star Trek 25th Anniversary Special on DVD, unless I convert it over myself, and while it's no problem if I have the equipment, I'm just not set up for tape-to-disc transfers.....

I got a lot of weird looks and questions for that, too. I liked both versions of each film, although RotK really needed a lot of that extra footage. I bought the theatricals in full screen, just so I'd have something in the collection take up all 52'' of my tv screen.

two towers(ext)
rotk(ext)
towers(theater)
fellowship(ext)
fellowship(theater)
rotk(theater)

the extra footage make rotk a full movie, otherwise its a race to a slow ending...without the extra footage the pacing in that film is horrible. the pacing in both the last 2 films with their extra footage is fucking perfect. i was truly blown away at the difference between rotk ext and theatrical...

there were a few other scenes as well, that were really enhanced with the extended edition....

seriously, how the fuck did they decide to cut that scene. when me and my girl watched, we both looked at eachother like 'ohhhhhh...'

they leave in that shit ass long ending and took out shit that would have made the movie complete...wtf?

O ya, heres a link to my DVDAF collection: http://www.dvdaficionado.com/dvds.html?cat=1&sub=All&id=themanticore Its split into two sections, live action (owned) and anime (owned/anime). Link goes to a page that shows it all. Everything in there is a legit R1 copy, no bootlegs or rips.

Couldn't tell ya, Lib, they chopped out a lot of important little details in Fellowship as well....that really helped out the story.....

really like the extended edition of ROTK tho, and it amazes me how much they chopped out of the theatrical cut.....

I really wish that movie studios wouldn't put those kinds of limits on filmmakers.....

but then, I wish they'd bring back intermission during long-ass movies too.....

Tay, just caught your little snippet there....

the scene where Dunn falls off the sink, after masturbating to his own ass, and Don Vito walks in on him, the camera dude wanted a REAL reaction from Vito, so, when he walks in, in the movie he sees Dunn passed out on the bathroom floor, but in reality, when he walked in, Dunn was buck naked, spread-eagle on the bathroom floor, fingering his asshole......that's why Vito said he was gonna call the fuckin' cops....

if you SAY you have a copy of "Haggard" you damn well better have a copy of Haggard, because someone will always challenge you on it.....

not many people know Bam released a low-budget Indy flick, and really, it's not that bad.....the Diamond Bicycle is fucking hilarious.....and watching Brandon riding it at the end is just ROFL..... :clap:

Little known fact....

Knuckle up was originally intended to be the first sequel to 3 Ninjas, if you watch, it's got the ORIGINAL kids, which Kick Back lacked....

the only kid who remained the same in the series was Colt, who was in 3 of the 4, and was replaced in the 4th, thusly, omitting the last original member.....

Word. What's funny though is that Knuckle Up looks fuckin low budget as hell compared to 3 Ninjas and Kick Back. And Mega Mountain is just some horse shit. If Kick Back had the original 3, it would probably be slightly better than the original but the first one stands on top.

Taichi

08-21-2005, 05:15 PM

Slide

08-21-2005, 05:30 PM

the reason Knuckle up looks low budget, is because it IS low budget.....

they figured they'd crank out the first one, because it was a cheap kids flick, then it did quite well, and they already had a 'straight to video' quality sequel in the can.....

so, when the first one did okay, and could finance a big sequel, they put some money behind it, and made "Kick Back" instead, which got another theatrical release....

then they started with the DTV shit, and had that second one ready to go, which they released as the third.....

Ha, where'd you get all these interesting facts anyway?

Got anything on both Addams Family flicks?

What about other movies, the ones that are common the majority of our collections in this thread?

EDIT: Oh yeah i got a 3 Ninja tid bit, the first film had a deleted scene where Rocky fights the one kid that stole Emily's bike(not just the basketball game). And that was cut out, but it's back on the DVD.

Taichi

08-21-2005, 05:35 PM

yep....

where did I get the tidbits?, I'm a film fanatic, I can pull random film trivia out of my ass.....

that's not to say I just made it up, I just soak up this info like a sponge, I can't quite remember where I got that info, but.....

just look at the three films.....

3 Ninjas was good, then Kick Back came out, and the only original member was Colt....who looks two, or three years older than he did in the last film.....

then the Direct to video sequel "Knuckle Up" comes out, and gasp!, all three original kids are back (which is almost impossible to do once they're cut from the sequel)......and Colt looks younger than he did in the last movie (Kick Back)....

it's not that hard to figure out for yourself.....but I did read it somewhere.....

it's been a while since I've been up on my Addams Family trivia, so, I'd have to look into that....

Slide

08-21-2005, 05:39 PM

Well the chronology of those movies I already knew about that. I had read about that sometime after i had purchased the DVD for the first film. That's why i had said Word. What i was talking about is how you knew about the things such as the finance situation, and how they already had the 2nd flick in the can etc. That's a bit deeper than the chronology. Plus you came off as just knowing alot about obscure film facts.

Taichi

08-21-2005, 05:50 PM

while it is true knowing that, the chronology is key to figuring out the financing.....

now, I did read all that once, probably in an entertainment magazine, that has long been trashed.....but anyway the gist of it is this:

kids movies aren't given much of a budget to begin with.....if they're successful, they'll throw a little cash in to make a sequel, if they're not, they'll still warrant a Direct To Video sequel, because hey, they might make a few extra bucks that way...

they chose to do this, by simply greenlighting the second one after the first one wrapped......but realized that after the first one was a success, that the second one lacked in quality (due to the fact that the budget was kinda blah), and rushed into a bigger budget one....

again, I'm rehashing what I said above, but studios not caring about sequels is key here.....

Sleeper hits happen all the time, in most cases, when a sleeper warrants a sequel, they have a year or two of prep time, to get the sequel ready....such wasn't the case here, basically what they did, was shelve the 'real' sequel, and rush into production of a better, more high-quality sequel (by that time, two of the leads had moved on)....then, once interest in the property started to slacken, they released a lower-budget, but already-made sequel.....this was beneficial in two ways.....one it had the original kids, so people who saw the first, but didnt' like the second, at least had an excuse to check it out once, and two, it was already made, so they didn't have to do anything but crank out videotapes......

and yeah, I do know a lot of obscure film facts/goofs/gaffes/errors, etc., I don't know why I know so much about a franchise I haven't watched in at least 6 years, but nevertheless......I remember the first one was REALLY good, I remember the second one was good (the fight between Colt and the Girl was ace), and remember the third one just sucked (except for Rocky playing with the balisong knife).....

Slide

08-21-2005, 06:08 PM

Yep the first one was tight. The fight scene in the 2nd one with Miyo was dope, that back kick she did was damn cool. And that knife scene with Rocky in that pizza parlor in Knuckle Up was fuckin the bomb. The presentation for Kick Back beasts all the other films, but the first one still remains superior in terms of being the better film. Damn guilty pleasures.

Taichi

08-21-2005, 06:22 PM

Exactly.....

there was just something about it that went beyond "Kids Flick", though, for some reason, I know a lot about Kids Flicks....

I watched "House Arrest" the other day, and that flick is just too damn cool.......dunno, something about it......

Slide

08-21-2005, 06:24 PM

House Arrest huh. Isnt that the joint with Christopher McDonald(i always call him Shooter McGavin like off of Happy Gilmore) and Jamie Lee Curtis, where the kids put all of their folks into the basement to work out their problems instead of divorcing?

Yeah that was a good one back in the day.

How about that movie Houseguest with Sinbad? Shit was hot.

Taichi

08-21-2005, 06:26 PM

yup......we just call him Shooter too, far easier than remembering his real name....but that's the flick....not a big Kevin Pollack fan, but he wasn't bad in that movie....

Sinbad's movies always kick ass, and the Phil Hartman Assist?, can't get much better.....

the Cherokee Kid is one of my family's all-time favorite films......Burt Reynolds' as Otter Bob is just great.....

I'll go through everybody's list later tonight, and post some tidbits about some of the flicks that repeat throughout everybody's collections.....might be fun.....

White: settle down, have a cigarette

Pink: I quit.....why, you got one?

White leaves the room, and comes back with two cigarettes, he then spends a considerable time lighting his lighter by snapping his fingers, he lights Buscemi's cigarette, then makes for his own.....but it doesn't light......he still goes through the motions, but about halfway through the scene, he realizes it's not lit, and gives up on it......and just holds it in his hand....

I couldn't pick up shit today. Went to two different Best Buy locations, neither had what I was looking for (Oldboy and Ghost Talker's Daydream).

Their computers listed Oldboy as not coming out till Labor Day (the Best Buy website still lists it as a 8/23 release). I rented it at Hollywood video, to tide me over till they carry it.

Ghost Taker should be in by the end of the week, or so said one store.

Also, after going to 4 different game stores (1 Gamestop, 1 EB, 1 Best Buy, 1 Rhino Games), i've determined that no one, nor their mother, has King of Fighters 2002/2003 for Xbox in. I called stores up to 3 hours away from me, and no one has it. Why do companies put street dates when no one carries them that day?

Tonight I went to Blockbuster and while browsing at new releases section.........saw some movies that I've NEVER even heard of.

Like this one modern war action movie starring Eddie Griffin, and Vivica Fox..........I think it was called "Blast"!

that it was

There is a difference between a made for TV movie, which has generally a negative stigma attached to it, and a movie that plays on TV due to length. (Which is fairly unprecedented in the North American Media)

Its not a war movie, its just another straight-to-video Die Hard clone. I rented it out of sheer boredom last month, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but it wasn't exactly good, either.

Blockbuster locations tend to varry what they stock store-to-store, but you can garuntee all of them are filled to the brim with bad straight to video action and horror movies.

Shit, I picked up a bunch of DVDs, but I can't update tonight. I'm finally getting around to updating my damn evo log tomorrow. Work is kicking my ass. I coped like 13 new dvds though.

Rashomon is a kick ass movie. It was made in 1950 by Akira Kurosawa (famous for The Seven Samurai), and yea, basically you described what its about.

Even if you dont usually enjoy foreign films I would recommend Rashomon.

I'm a big Kurosawa fan, just haven't ever copped Roshomon cause it's 40 fucking bucks.

"Legendary director Akira Kurosawa re-imagines Shakespeare's tragic King Lear as a singular historical epic set in sixteenth-century Japan. Tatsuya Nakadai (The Sword of Doom, Kagemusha) stars as Lord Hidetora, a warlord who cedes authority over his vast dominion to his eldest son, setting off a familial power struggle for control of his kingdom. Majestic in scope, Ran is a visual masterpiece in which Kurosawa contrasts the immensity of war with the crumbling of one family under the weight of betrayal, greed, and the insatiable thirst for power. Criterion's magnificent two-disc edition will include not only a newly-restored transfer, but also A.K., Chris Marker's 74-minute documentary on Kurosawa's craft in making the film; an introduction by filmmaker Sidney Lumet; a half-hour Toho documentary on the making of the film; a half-hour video piece reconstructing the film through Kurosawa's paintings and sketches; a new interview with star Tatsuya Nakadai; and more."

Ok, apparently it exists, but you need to put "66874" into the search box.

I was watching Kill Bill Volume 1 today, and just realized something.....

O-Ren Ishii doesn't have a Hanzo sword....

it should've been obvious, considering that the last Hanzo's that were made were Bill's and Budd's, but it didn't hit me until I watched it this afternoon.....

P. Gorath

08-26-2005, 05:58 PM

why would you think she did have one in the first place? Especially after she even says the line in surprise when she is confronted with one

How long ago did you buy it? If its been under 2 weeks, I'd take it back to where ever you bought it with the receipt. Best Buy and Circuit City usually don't give you too much shit (they never give $ back, though, only store credit).

Also - was the disc loose in the case? Or was it secured in the holder? Any warping or strange marks on the disc itself?

Looking through google, I don't see a recall on the disc or many problems reported, so yours is probably an anomaly.

I just thought all the DiVAS used Hanzo swords.....dunno why really....

now that I think on it, it don't really make much sense....

honestly, I don't know why I thought that at all.....but since your girl IS assuming the leadership of all the Japanese Mafia, you'd think you could get her a nice gift for the occasion....
