From an animated gif to a good movie
Posted by Fulvio | Filed under Blog
Being sick in bed and all, I got loads of time to spare which I usually thoughtfully invest in doing … err … nothing.
I was browsing a games forum yesterday afternoon when a gif avatar used by some guy caught my attention and really cracked me up:
I was wondering where that was coming from, and started immediately my Sherlock Holmes “Bored at Home” investigation.
Step 1: www.youtube.com.
Keywords: cop, hilarious, shoot, fun.
I first ended up with a video of a cop shooting his frigging foot during a school demostration, amazing stuff.
After some digging though i came across the full video of the gif movie i had into my hands, yey!
Name of the video: “Benny the Supercop” … hmmm we got a name.
Browsing for a while similar videos and reading all comments, I finally found a possible name: Kopps.
A quick check on www.imdb.com confirms my suspect, that’s my movie. Only drawback: It’s a Swedish movie.
Step 2: www.thepiratebay.org
And guess what: my movie is there. 700mb, straight dvdrip.
ETA: 3 hours 20 minutes. not bad.
Step 3: www.subscene.com
Need english subtitles for my swedish movie. :)
Step 4: Enjoying movie
Movie was cool and EXTREMELY funny.
Props to the swedish production.
My investigation was successful, I was once again victorious.
God bless the internet.

Last night I have finished watching the TV mini-series Band of Brothers, and I highly recommend it to everyone, whether you like war related movies or not.
The series is produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg and it keeps the same desaturated color scheme and realistic representation of combat sequences as in Saving Private Ryan.
I was visiting the shores of Omaha Beach in March this year and while I was staring at the calm, open sea, a cold chill passed through my spine as I tried to imagine the scenario that I would have seen there on June 6, 1944.
My respect and gratitude go to those who fought and lost their lives to give us a better world to live in, true heroes that I hope will never be forgotten.
Best toy *EVER*

How to rent a movie and not watch it in the end
Posted by Fulvio | Filed under Uncategorized
So, I rent this movie, “Omen” from the local Blockbusters and I pop it into my dvd player to watch it.
To my surprise, after the usual promotional videos, I don’t get the dvd menu: all I have is a screen with two options: “Omen” and “Prison Break”.
After thinking “What the hell?” for five seconds or so, out of pure curiosity I select option two: Prison Break.
The next screen explains that they included the “pilot” episode of this new show in the dvd and that the full season one is on sale in all video stores.
I expected to get bored after the first 10 minutes of movie so I clicked “play”…
… and fifty minutes later, here goes me addicted again to yet another tv series, after Lost, 24 it is now the turn of “Prison Break“.
Side note: I didn’t watch “Omen” in the end. Nice marketing strategy from the 20th Century Fox guys. :)
