I suggest amending the title: "Motha' fuckin' bootleg fireworks shit gone wrong">> ^MarineGunrock:

I'd like to advise my fellow sifters to try to not get too emotionally heated, this is a great discussion.

I remember travelling way up North just a few years back, a little town called Pangnirtung, one of seven dry communities in Nunavut. Alcohol is not sold in town and guests and tourists are prohibited from bringing any of it into the hotel. The community took a vote not too long ago and with roughly 70% of the small community in favor, the town stayed dry. Alcoholism, ofcourse is still a problem. Suicide rates among the youth are very high, and most serious crimes that are committed are still alcohol-related.

Bootlegging presents a very worthwhile enterprise for many kids up there, it's obviously very easy to find outside the community, it's only a matter of hiding it. What's more, it's a hell of a lot easier to smuggle a mickey of rum than a six pack of beer, obviously any booze you find there is going to be the strong stuff.

Now under any normal circumstance at all I would say alcohol prohibition is a terrible idea, the same goes for the war on drugs. It's just that, Pangnirtung is so isolated and detached from the rest of mainstream Canada. So much so that it can be very hard for the local boozehounds to get their fix. If alcohol was suddenly made readily available I have no doubt in my mind that alot of kids would end up dead.

During our trip we had a chance to tour through the local elementary school and as I walked through the halls I started to look at the arts and crafts posted along the walls. Most were just typical little kid sketches or small little art projects. Then I noticed something that made my stomach churn..

One of the projects included a picture and then a list of the child's goals and his likes and dislikes. Nearly all of them mentioned alcohol and drugs in some way or another. It was kinda upsetting, alcohol shouldn't be on a list of concerns of a twelve year old.

In terms of drug regulation I really don't know, I've been on both sides of the issue and I'm still left with alot of questions, just my two cents.

In case anyone thinks this is a shocking case of casual domestic violence in 1930s America, I think you almost got the point of the scene. Tom Powers (played by Jimmy) is a sadistic gang leader that isn't just running bootleg alcohol - he's demanding booze for breakfast. He would eventually be gunned down by police in a similar 'Rise and Fall' as Pacino went through in Scarface.

So if you thought Cagney was being an asshole - that's because that was precisely what he was being directed to be and precisely why the film was regarded so highly (since previous Tough Guys/criminals had all been portrayed by attractive, well-spoken Thespians!).

the downloadable AVATAR is the highest quality I've ever seen on a newsgroup traded movie (i.e. those in the theater, not being sourced from an acadamy awards preview) its actually an HD Cam release

I'd rather have a dvd screener myself.


Thing is, this is one movie that is absolutely worth seeing in theaters in 3D. Even the 1080p trailer looked like crap in comparison. I almost feel sorry for anyone who watches a bootleg and deprives themselves of the real experience =P

@MrLips: You haven't met his wife.
@deathcow: Listening to mono with headphones always irritates me... makes me cross my eyes. Better test would a bunch of people in a room with good speakers.
@archwaykitten: Collapsing a stereo mix to mono sounds like crap.

As a Beatle fan, I am very glad the mono box came out. It means that I can listen to the mono mixes in quality better than the various bootlegs that are out there. But then again, I also enjoy listening to raw tape of the Beatles screwing around in the studio. There should be no debate. The particular mix doesn't matter for the majority of listeners. The Stereo Box is complete, and that's what people should buy.

That said, I haven't gotten used to either box set for casual listening. Bass and drums are too high.. the 1987 transfers feel much more cozy to me, mediocre sound and all.
