That's part of why I love collecting laserdiscs. I own several movies and TV shows that aren't on DVD!

There's plenty of stuff on DVD that isn't available on any other format as well...

It's funny how current Country singers talk about how redneck and broke they are while wearing jeans that cost four hundred bucks.

Haven't you also described hip-hop? Though replace "redneck and broke" with "urban and broke" or something similar I guess.

Its funny how you describe pop with a banjo as country, as do the masses of idiots who also believe it. Get some real country and you'll see some guys who are speaking from the heart.

When did I ever say "banjo" or "pop"? And I'm no idiot, Country is worse than pop these days.

I have plenty of great Country records, but they're from when Country music wasn't pop. Today all mainstream Country is pop music.

I hear hip-hop singers talking about how much they're ballin, not how broke they are.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what he's saying.

Exactly. What you call "Country" is not country. In some areas, it even outsells pop.

So in between failed attempts at sleep the last few days, I've been watching a lot of Nostalgia Critic. I'm pretty sick of that damn Killzone ad and geez is that some terrible flat voice acting. I'm so sorry they disturbed you in the middle dinner to record you saying those lines. Good job using quality stuff for the ad guys.
