Now, several things about this post bug me... I understand you are voicing your opinion (and that is a good think, different opinions spice up life) but you are clearly aiming your response at me and drag out a private conversation with yet a third forum member into the open where it doesn't belong. Also assumptions on my motivation are made: "But the non-fan collector who just wants to be able to show off a rare collection and his big wallet (i.e. his big dick); that's what annoys me" I always thought I was a bit deeper than that as I buy tapes to build a database (if you want to call it that) and keep my tapes for years and years. I don't just sell after the thrill of a rare find and the confirmation of that fact via the public. I post pictures and halp members with information on rare tapes, even track down rare stuff for them. i try to give something back to the forum community. The "wallet" comment really peeves me. I work VERY hard to make the kind of money - it is merely MY decission what to spend it on. If anybody has a problem with it let me know. "I sincerely hope you'll sell it to someone who'll appreciate it because of what it is film wise and not just as something they can put in a bank vault" What makes you think I don't appreciate the films? I probably know more about the genre than anybody else here! "because they've got their ass full of money" Again - if anybody has a problem with that let me know. Or else get a sales job with a 52 Million US$ quota per annum like myself and earn yourself "an ass full of money" "And THAT'S how it's supposed to be according to my book. The other thing is just showing off your big wallet." That's how it's supposed to be according to my book. If you have a problem with the wallet issue PM me. That's the end of the matter for me. Case closed. Merry christmas. |

The comments on that blog were about a Thai horror movie. You may very well know more about that genre than anybody else but if that's the case I must admit you hide it very well. I have never seen one single comment from you in regards to Asian horror movies. The ultra rare tape in question was an Asian movie. Were you really interested in this because you are an avid fan of Flying Head movies from Thailand? My speculations at the time were that you wanted the tape because of its rarity, not because this is a genre you collect. Am I entitled to decide who is allowed to buy which tapes? Does this mean you're not allowed to buy this tape? No, of course not; you can buy it 25 times if you want. You can buy all the rare tapes you want. However, I'm entitled to voice my opinion and that's what I did; I merely said I hoped someone who is a fan of the genre would get the tape instead of someone who wanted it for its mere rarity. There's no jealousy here. And besides all, I fail to see why you make such a big fuss out of a couple of nerdish geeks who rambled on a blog 6-7 months ago. |

I never had any interest in that Swedish Thai film tape, never tried to buy it or made any offer for it. The sale of this tape completly went past me as I have no interest in collecting Asian films (I like Asian films, though). I don't understand how you got the impression I was going to buy it... I buy italian films, nothing else. Not sure why my name was mentioned in connection with it, probably to give the impression I was interested and therefore get a better price. I'm just dragging this out because the "Wallet" and "Ass full of money" comments annoy me. I very much LIKE the films I collect (Gialli and Italian sleaze) and don't just get off on the rarity of single tapes that I "put in a bank vault". I very much make an effort to be a good player on the forums, stay out of fights but still getting confronted over the prices I'm ready to pay for the few rare tapes still missing from my collection. I think nobody is entitled to judge how I spend my money, it is my business alone. This is my opinion and I'm also entitled to voice it. That's it now, it's christmas, I'm getting a drink! :ph43r: |

Mike, I can't even in my wildest dreams imagine that Jack was thinking of you in that rant. Everybody knows you're a genuine giallo FANATIC who truly loves these movies and that you're an all around good guy. The type of collector Jack was ranting about were as I read it of different kind entirely - people who have no real interest of the movies themself and only collect based on rarity or labels. People are of course free to spend their hard-earned money any way they please and I personally know some people who are like that, but I can't help thinking it's a pretty "unsexy" hobby, where's the passion in that? Just my five cents and has nothing to do with your mindbogglingly fine giallo collection (your database/pics are very much appriciated by the way, tried to do something similiar for peplum/euro-adventure myself with my blog, although on a much smaller scale). I guess it's my fault for bringing up your name in the conversation. I was only joking around with Patrick really, as he seemed so utterly desperate after that tape. When he jokingly suggested i'd give away the tape to "someone would really appriciate it" and I teasingly mentioned you and VH, two of the deadliest trackers of ultra-rare video tapes I could come up with at the moment (and yeah, I know that at least Gialloboy has no interest in that kind of weirdo asian stuff what so ever). I absolutely meant nothing by it and i'm sorry if you took it the wrong way (I can sort of understand how you could do that in light of Jack's rant but that of course didn't cross my mind at the time). And sorry for dragging Jack into an argument about nothing...

Hey Mike, hope 2010 brings you and the family the best. I just want to say something that Ive felt EVER since this lil thread was brought up. 1st...I respect EVERYONES opinion, never a question at all. I just have such a Uneasy feeling EVERYTIME I come aboard Cinehound AND see this thread. Now, remember, I love ALL you guys, Mike, theres no question about it===(weve been at it for a bit =always top notch) w/ trades, deals), Joe(video-hunter), we broke bread, I love you man(, you are:the ultimate jap tape collector and advisor) and friend / Bar none, now...JACK J.. Okay, heres where i'm at with it, after 2 weeks of seeing this lil agonizing thread...I have a point of view if its o/k to invoke. 1st off, I love JACK J, He's always been a big, BIG, part of This forum, always giving us ABSTRACT and AMAZING info On alot of asian and karate films, and horror stuff, vcd's, dvd;s, pal, oceanshores, etc, etc, And I havta tell you, I think what happened in his blog...ranting about, big ass collectors, big money, big wallets,...it was more just a perspective on collectors in general...WAIT, wait.....W,,,A,,,I,,,T,,I know, I....noooo, o/k mike, you were mentioned, okay, soooooooo what???, if he mentioned DONALD TRUMP, who cares, WE know your one of the greatest gialli collectors, amoung in the World!!!!!!!======, and Joe, SPINA!======= I have no issues with you as well, you make vital points, all taken well, but here's my ill feeling now as cinehound continues with ALL moderators and collectors...I still feel a bit of, shall I say uneasiness for Jack J,as we continue forward on this site. I can only hope as we venture into 2010, we can enjoy each others imput in the video world and not take offense to sometimes, 10 beers and a shot or 2... into it drama. And Mike, hahaha, come'on dude, if YOU and ME hanmmered down A ton of german beer, WE might say a few things ourselves, God only knows, the reason I'm writing this tonight for all in because I had a coupla pints of good stock! I guess, what I'm really trying to say is, occasionally, WE all SHOOT out lil mouths off, some, more then others, but never to intentionally to hurt anyone's feeling's, especially, ALL of you guys on this site, weve ALL collected and been thru to much to have any animosity toward one another. So I say, mike, joe, jack, forgive and forget and move on! You 3 guys have ALL been instrumental to helping me build my collection and help you build yours, lets have a freash start i 2010! Hope this sounds fair enuff...anyway, peace on earth, good will to ALL men! eddie |
