The best Tuesday ever.

After years and years of searching, i have finally gotten my hands on an actual non reproduction cassette copy of Tuesday Knight’s self titled album.

What do you mean you don’t know who Tuesday Knight is?
Tuesday knight was Patricia Arquette’s replacement for the character Kristen Parker in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master.

she only survived for the first 20 minutes or so of the movie… her biggest contribution was to the movie’s soundtrack. She recorded the opening credits theme ‘Nightmare’ which i thought was unreleased.. until i found this lone cassette.
i made a copy of the song for your listening pleasure.

The sound i love the most.

dear kid,
your grandmother has been here for the past two weeks, and it seems like she picked you up the moment she stepped through the door and didn’t put you down until she left.
i guess you got used to the attention because every time i put you down today you began to cry.
eventually i decided that the two of us should sit down and watch a movie…
so you watched your very first movie with your dad.
Saw 6

then… just as the movie was about to end… you had another first.
you began to giggle…
in fact… at the end of the movie… every time someone screamed you would giggle.
i was so proud.

the sounds of pain and anguish make you giddy… you truly are your fathers son.

your grandmother and i were rummaging through the attic a few days ago and found some shirts that i wore when i was 2 or 3… i imagine you will inherit some of these… because vintage t’s rock…
check them out.

We also thought you might like to use my old crib… apparently my grandmother got so excited when she found out i was going to be born that she had a crib hand made for me… i didnt even know it existed until today, but your grandmother found it at my great aunts house and decided to bring it home… here it is:

the problem with doing things legally…

I am a horror movie junkie.
my whole family knows this. my parents had to put up with me watching movie after movie in my room growing up. Can you imagine how they felt when company came over, only to be greeted by the horrifying screams of young campers coming from my room. the sounds of chainsaws and breaking bones… blood squirting everywhere… i would imagine our guests felt a little uneasy…
i havent had a chance to watch the new Friday the 13th movie… so you can image the excitment i felt when i unwrapped a copy of Friday the 13th killer cut this christmas.
the DVD came with a downloadable Digital copy, which i thought was cool because i could put it on the hard drive in my car and not have to carry the movie around with me.

so i followed the instructions to download the digital copy…
#1 Go to www.wbdigitalcopy.com/fridaythe13th
#2 When prompted enter the authorization code below.
C2XMTTK63V92
#3 Follow the instructions to download your movie.

once i got to the site my dreams of a legal digital copy were crushed… i was greeted by this message

AN EXPIRATION DATE?!?! Why the fuck would a digital copy offer expire?

i did some digging and found out that the digital copy offer expired on Sept 10th 2009. this information wasnt on the DVD case… it was buried in the fine print of the Digital Copy insert.
whats more is the DVD wasnt released until June 10th 2009… which means the Digital Copy offer was only valid for 3 months!

Why do movie companies fuck everything up? Warner Brothers have hyped up the Digital Copy as a way to fight piracy… they say that if given the option customers will choose the legal download over a pirated download… and that is true… if the legal download is available.

i contacted WBDC customer support to voice my concerns…
the rep said:
rep: im sorry sir that offer has expired, unfortunatly there is no way for you to get a digital copy now.
Me: Wanna bet?
