1	Preview / review	First, the author is fun to listen to. He is animated, obviously enjoys talking about the topic, and is very informative. Occasionally, he sounds like he has some indigestion/GERD going on from eating lunch without chewing, but that says more about the occupation than the man.I like the way the Sum & Substance series is packaged. Others of the series have extra CDs enclosed, which I enjoy, but the information is why I got the CDs.This is the perfect tool for creating a course outline before your class starts. You can have a great overview, already familiar with your Issues and your Rules, going into class to focus on your Analysis and able to cut, paste, and add to your existing course outline.Am very glad I made this purchase.	positive
1	Excellent first pass at Torts	If you are new to Torts and need an excellent first pass at Torts before diving into the "real" work of the subject, then this will do the trick very nicely. His jokes are strangely amusing....was Torts meant to be amusing???I highly recommend listening to it as early as possible as it will provide the skeleton you'll need during the semester.If only Finz recorded ALL my subjects......	positive
1	really helpful	excellent overview, detailed, actually funny too. As of this writing in 2012 he refers to governor schwarznegger, so its not too far out of date either. Highly recommended.	positive
1	He has a gift	He is originally from New York, so he does not have a bland TV accent. However, he is understandable. He is very animated and clearly enjoys his work. He keeps the "show" moving by not dawdling along as some audio professors do, but he does not talk so fast that it is hard to keep up.He does a terrific job blending "black letter" law with hypothetical cases. A worthwhile outline can be constructed from his audio. (However be aware that his "pinch hypothetical" example does not work for all courses/professors. It is the difference between "battery is an intentional harmful or offensive contact" and "battery is an intentional contact that is harmful or offensive." He subscribes to the former and some authorities subscribe to the latter.) He provides a thorough review that has really helped me prepare for finals. He deserves 6 stars. :)	positive
1	Labor World	If you are begining to learn about the labor world, this is the perfect book to start out with. It gives you a broad overview of many topics and ways of labor unions.	positive
1	Law & Order: Los Angeles-The Complete Series	I love it. Law & Order is the bomb. I am very glad I had the opportunity to receive this item and own it	positive
1	Endearing and Funny	If you missed this series on Disney it's worth a view. I was impressed with how well these young musicians handled the slap stick comedy.	positive
0	Editorial Review?	"More cool it does not go?" Sometimes Google Translate doesn't work as well as we would like. I haven't watched it. The Editorial Review just amuzed me. Caveat emptor.	negative
0	Not worth the $10	Amazon charges $3.99 shipping and this isn't much more than a laminated sheet of paper. (It could have been shipped in an envelope for under 40 cents) That makes it $10 and you'd be better off getting a real book. I'm going to send mine back.	negative
0	Misleading product description	Was never a "paperback" but a "laminated" single sheet of paper, maybe.Was disappointed to say the least.	negative
0	Not her best work	generally a big fan of Cara Black but this latest is a big mound of material searching for a decent editor. Even for a big fan its a slog. I think that there is a fine book buried in the text but whomever is claiming to be the editor of this book should be fired - it's a mess. Second Draft (maybe) but ready for publication it is not!	negative
1	Great readings	My favorite detectiveThanks for bringing her to meLocal sources have not been able to keep me supplied! Stick around so I can get more.	positive
1	The best way to teach drawing I've ever seen!	I was thrilled when I received my copies of Steve Barr's books. His approach to teaching the art of drawing cartoons is fantastic! From the beginning, he points out that there are "No Rules!". I love this approach for teaching children, and also for "big kids" like myself! People of all ages will learn a lot from his books, and have so much fun along the way. Each book shows step-by-step ways to accomplish adorable cartoons. I highly recommend this book to parents with budding artists, and to schools for their art classes!	positive
1	The 1st Mr Food Cookbook ever.	The best cookbook I ever ordered online.A masterpiece for every hardcore fan of the one & only Mr Food	positive
1	Different take on Wonder Woman	I have always been a Wonder Woman fan since the comics so I was excited for theanimated version. The story is this - Ares, God of War, has escaped from hisimprisonment on Themyscira and Hippolyta, the Queen of the Amazons, must send achampion to get him back. Hippolyta holds a contest and the champion will becomeWonder Woman. However Diana, Hippolyta's daughter wants to be the champion, buther mother has forbidden it. So she disguises herself and wins. As Wonder Woman,Diana goes to Man's World with the help of Steve Trevor, a man who has crashed onthe all-woman isle.Excellent voice casting and a decent retelling of how Wonder Woman came to be.However that being said, this is a revision of the Wonder Woman story, not theone told in the comics. I would read the comics too. The basic elements of thestory are there. It's PG-13. There is a little violence and suggestive material.I would suggest this for teens rather than for children.	positive
1	Loved it!	My only exposure to Wonder Woman before this movie was the Justice League cartoon and a few clips from the 70s tv show. My sister bought the animated movie and I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed it. The animation's fantastic, voice acting was good and the story was better than a lot of live action movies with ten times the budget. It kind of reminded me of Xena, which I'm also a huge fan of.The only nitpick I have is they could have added something explaining the invisible jet, but honestly it didn't really detract from the film.	positive
1	Amazing!!	I am very impressed with DC and thier animated features and wonder woman delivers a solid origin, action, romance and deciet storyline all in a high def experience. Do yourself a favor and watch this movie!!!	positive
1	AWESOME!	This film was GREAT! It definitely rivals the Marvel animated films that have come out recently. How they drew the character is still typical DC style like Superman Doomsday. The animators created a new look for her, extremely beautiful and streamlined. I hated the character Steve Trevor. I know they were trying to portray the male as the "lesser being" if you will, but he was just plain corny.Overall, this film is a more than worthy purchase.	positive
0	Disappointmet!	I waited for a couple months and finally got Wonder Women. Wow what a disappointment. I was expecting so much more like how George Perez told the story. I'm not selling this movie I will give it away.....see ya!	negative
1	Excellent movie with no polictical agenda	I just finished watching this movie. It is excellent.There is no political agenda like (unfortunately) the Justice League New Frontier. Instead, the movie revolves around Diana's origin and introduction to her "boyfriend" Steve Trevor. The action and storyline is on target with a very good ending.This is better than "Justice League, the New Frontier" and better than Superman's Doomsday (The Death of Superman) movie.The movie is rated PG-13 because there is quite a bit of violence and death in the movie.If you like the DC Comics animation from Bruce Timm (TV Series Batman the Animated Series, Superman, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited and the movies previously mentioned), this is the best. You will enjoy it.Thank you.	positive
1	Loved it! But not for kids :(	I just watched this movie today and I absolutely LOVED it! I am a big WW fan and thought this movie had a great story, beautiful animation and the right comedic timing! The fight scenes were amazing but VERY brutal! Chopping heads off and overall sword fighting would be WAY too much for little DC fans! My 6 year old son has seen other "PG-13" movies (Iron Man and Transformers) but this was a little too much.LOVED IT and hope it leads to it's own series!!! It's time for a little DC girl power. Batman and Superman have had their own shows, lets get WW on scene!	positive
1	Nice movie w/ nice animation and extras	Simply put... if liked the other direct to dvd/blu ray dc movies, you'll like this one. I always like the extras in which you get some episodes of the Justice League/Justice League Unlimited cartoons.	positive
1	Not for the faint of heart, or for kids	Creative license? I've not read any of the comic books, but I've seen every episode of the original Woman Woman series (circa 1970s-80s). This was an interesting take, and it captured my attention. There were many common elements, but enough difference to keep me glued to the screen. I enjoyed the detailed background of where Diana came from, the invisible jet scenes, and Steve getting to play a possible love interest. See this stream to see how it turns out!	positive
1	The DCAU always gets it right.	It's amazing how consistently great the recent DC Animated Universe DVD releases have been. I can't think of a single title that has disappointed me, unlike the majority of the Marvel animated projects. Wonder Woman is no exception. From the very beginning, this movie is a whole lot of fun to watch. As I saw Hippolyta fly through the air to battle Ares, I was already excited to watch the rest. The battle scenes are brutal and great to watch. The voice cast is excellent, and includes an always welcome Nathan Fillion as Steve Trevor. Aside from a few things left unexplained (such as why the entire city of Washington D.C. just happens to be conveniently free of every last citizen when the final battle takes place), it is probably one of the best DCAU projects to date.	positive
1	Wonder woman with wonder	One thing I definatly did not realize is the fact that despite the hype of all the other people clinging to the myth of the history of women of Thesymasera, I was a tad disappointed that they scraped over it and seemed to be simply the moments and path of Ares. He didn't create the island although he was the reason for thier protection. Hopefully in the future they will come back and show more of the role of Wonder woman in her continued gift to mankind not just this moment of revelation.Otherwise I thoroughly endorse this flick and loved the animation and creation process! Praise Gaia	positive
0	Blunder Woman....	Unlike the other recent offerings from DC, this one was definitely the weakest of the series. In future I will just enjoy her in JLU where she shines, sorry.ROBOTRON	negative
1	Tape Crazy	Movie itself is fine. Came quickly and packaged well. The only situation I have problems with is the security tape everywhere on the casing. I am a person who likes to keep the package as nice as I can for as long as I can. But whom ever place the security tape on the actual plastic should know that, I will not come off with out somewhat damaging the wrapper. To get of the tape from the plastic cover takes much effort and unfortunately as hard as I tried..I had to rip the plastic cover to get of the tape.	positive
1	It's a Wonder.	A very well done and entertaining movie. The animation is 1st rate and the voice acting is well cast. Now if DC/Warners would get off their lazy behinds and make a live action movie like this it would be bliss.	positive
1	BEST DCAU MOVIE YET	I had low expectations when this movie came out. I bought Superman:Doomsday, The New Frontier, and Gotham Knights and was disappointed with all 3 (I traded them in for other movies). I was really surprised with how good this movie was. It was a good story and I loved the injection of humor into the dialogue. It was easily the best DCAU movie to date and I hope that Green Lantern continues the upward trend.	positive
1	Finally	It has taken 30 years for Wonder Woman to obtain a solo film project, and though this direct to video animated feature does have it's flaws, it is still an immensely entertaining film for fans of the genre.some Pros:The animation and character designs are top notch. Kudos to Lauren Montgomery for not replicating the look of Justice League, and finally bringing a new look to the DC animated universe.The score, could honestly have been used for a live action film.The voice talent was extremely well done.some Cons:There were a few too many cut corners in trying to get the film squeezed into a 75 minute running time (i.e. no explanation for the Invisible Jet, how and why Ares brought back all these mythical creatures to attack Washington, etc.)and some inconsistency in Diana's level of strengthOverall, a must see.	positive
1	Amazing!	This movie is sorely underrated and underpublicized. This movie provides a deep back history to the Amazonian and pays the character her just respect. The music is fitting and Keri Russell is awesome in the role. Madsen does a bang-up job as Hippolyta. Tons of good action.Great job!	positive
1	Good Movie-A Classic	This movie arrived within a couple of days. Very good packaging.I am very pleased with the order I placed. Thanks so much!	positive
1	worth the $	i have to say that after watching these waner premiere videos off of netflix. i'm liking what is offered. i bought the 2 disc for the bells & whistles & was happy, but w/the commentary, it was ok. no dissapointments here. it the fact all these animators get their turn to shine w/what they've done. which can be justified, here. (no pun). i was impressed w/the back story of her. the story behind lie detector was nice, as well some of the other toons from the series. i recommend taking the easy way & try netflix. so the free 30 day trial is worth it. now i'm an amazon customer, i'm happy w/the prices to buy these with. thanks amazon!	positive
1	Wonder Power	I am a huge Wonder Woman fan. The movie was fantastic. I especially enjoyed seeing Paradise Island and all the beautiful Amazons in all their glory.	positive
1	wonderwoman 2009	the film was excellent, the story was interesting and held my attention until the end. The graphics were well done and helped to keep the film interesting and fun to watch.	positive
1	One of my most favorite movies	I think it was the one of the best movies ever. It came to me in good condition and also had a free digital copy. Kudos to the seller !	positive
0	Underwelming	The fact that wonder woman falls in love with a chauvinist pig really throws off the story. I think it would had more purpose if they would have ended as friends.	negative
1	Pretty darn good	Wasnt sure if the nature of Wonder Woman would be done well in this movie considering ideals and biast of writers can change between generations but aside from a few shots to the nuts (literally and figuratively) i liked watching it. Couldnt give it a 5 star cause of some of the groaner gender puns.	positive
0	TYPLICALLY BAD	It was my understanding that the driving reason for this movie was becasue Wonder Woman had somehow been overlooked in the animated movies of recent years. I do agree with that. She was one of the founding members of the JLA. She is one of the most powerful and respected members of the JLA and the DC universe in general. Which makes it hard for me to understand that with all of these OUTSTANDING facts to support this movie, THIS is the BEST they could come up with? THIS is the BEST animation they have to offer one of the most overlooked, yet deserving super heros in the DC universe? I was thankful I NETFLIX-ed this one first. If I had wasted my money by streaming it from AMAZON, I would have been pissed! Im just saying.	negative
0	Men Bashing	Aside from cartooning that is nowhere near the high standard that Disney has set, the story line is a hugely, blatant, men-bashing fest. Not fun unless you want to teach girls to hate men. It also teaches by example that little girls with training can beat up big men with equal training - a falsehood that will probably get some young women in real trouble one day.	negative
0	It's a man's world baby!	Yes - the animation is nicely done & all but I had to give this dvd only 2 stars - because SEXIST REMARKS ARE NEVER OK. If Steve Trevor was not in this movie then it would've got 4 stars-easily. When he makes comments about Wonder Woman's breasts, like, "She's got a nice rack!" makes you wanna cringe. I was hoping he'd get killed off in the end but instead he ends up kissing Diana. WHY-must every strong woman need a man to "balance" off her warrior like qualities? Why can Diana just save the world but she needs a sexist love interest to reassure viewers that she's a "real" woman. Is anyone else as offended as I am? It doesn't matter if the animation is high quality, the script - sucks.	negative
0	Not a good one	I've admired Bruce Timm's work now for many years. His work with Batman, Superman and the Justice League was simply outstanding. Unfortunately for me his work that follows has been marginal. I think so far the Justice League (New Frontier) movie was the best but Superman Doomsday and now this effort have fallen short of my expectations. The Wonder Woman story for me was marginal although it was interesting to see the take on the backstory. The plot of the movie seemed to have been written by writers stuck in their adolescence. It all wraps up with a battle in DC which is just ludicrous.What made Batman TAS and the other shows so different was the depth of the personalities, attention to the story, unique character designs and backdrops. This effort falls very short in all those areas. The animation was stiff and most of the characters, particularly Trevor looked flat and unappealing. Hopefully the next effort will be better.	negative
1	Woman Wonderful	George Perez should be so proud. This animated retelling of Wonder Woman's origins and her first adventure into man's world is a rich tapestry of mythology, sisterhood and feminine mystique. There is tragedy, passion, faith and triumph. While some of the themes are very adult, my eight year old really enjoyed seeing a female, powerful hero which Wonder Woman has always represented. You can see more of a lengthier review about the film here: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1545777/wonder_woman_2009.html?cat=40But if you're on the fence and you're a fan of the Wonder Woman comic, buy this -- it really is exceptionally well done and respectful of her myth and legend.	positive
1	Great mic for the price.	Works decently well on vocals and makes my uke shine. One of the best in it's price range.	positive
1	So Far So Good	Needed a condenser microphone for recording vocals and acoustic guitar. I almost went with two different microphone but finally decided to go with this. This one cost about $20 than my other choices but I'm pretty confident that this is a much much higher quality product. It does not include a hard case (a soft pouch is included) and it does not include a shock mount. A standard mount is included. As for buying a shock mounts to go with it, there is one that is very cheap and most users say that it breaks and is not work getting. I don't feel that it is necessary for shock mount, not for now anyways. I'm satisfied with my purchase.	positive
1	Awesome Mic. Awesome sound>!	Wow.First of all. I have a very deep voice which is hard sometimes to get right on certain mics. I recently tried the Bluebird. Right before ordering the MXL.The Bluebird was a very crispy ..nice bright mic.It was very, very absorbent,could pick up the car down the street engine roar from within the building. Having said that... I picked up this MXL. I was impressed with Bluebird, but once I tried this one I was blown away.Needless to say I paid less , much less and I sound better!My voice sounds so natural. Is almost like is amplifying my chords with no color, but colored warm, real warm. No real need for eq. This mic is a bad a**. Im im love with it. I have never sounded so transparent,so strong. Highly recommend.Thanks Amazon	positive
1	Good Mic	You get what you pay for with anything in most cases, but this mic is pretty high quality for only $100. It has a very clear and up front sound to it. Its great for recording vocals. Better than the MXL 2001 that I have and much better than the Blue Snowball which are both the same price.	positive
1	Excellent deal	I can't imagine getting a better value. I shopped around and this mic was an easy choice. I record at home with a minimal setup and couldn't be happier with the results for the price, or even a hundred dollars more.	positive
1	amazing!	im in love with this mic and i really don't understand how the price is sooo low but if you need or want serious studio quality sound then dont waist your time or money just get this mic i promise you'll say wow after you here yourself on this mic.i set it up with a m-audio phantom power interface and mogami gold mic cord.you might want to do the same.....also i love the look of it and its pretty heavy and shipping was fast and safe.	positive
1	MXL V67G Review and Video Unboxing	Length:: 4:37 MinsThis video explains about each recording equipment product I got from amazon which save me money.If you looking to do some vocal recording with your instruments whether it be from guitar to drums or piano I totally recommend the MXL V67G its is perfectbut all the equipments came seperated on a affordable budget of $166.75. As soon as Istarted using the mic I felt like I was in a recording studio.	positive
0	Faulty Mic	Unfortunately China does not have the best quality control. This Mic does not work. Make sure that you check this mic upon arrival. There is a chance that this mic may not work. I got burned on this purchase because I didn't check if it worked when I got it right away. Hopefully you will have better luck than I did.	negative
1	Good microphone	Sophisticated materials, work is very solid, sound great, so cheap price, this is the best choice.Special to recommend this microphone	positive
0	Might be a good mic but...	Unfortunately I haven't been able to use it. The company shipped either a mismanufactured or flat out wrong mic clip. They finally responded with them being out of stock go talk to amazon. Uhhhggg. I bought a shock mount. If that shows up functional and as advertised I will let you know about the actual mic. I don't mean to take out my frustration with the vendor on the product.	negative
0	the most dissapointing movie I have seen	to start off, I love the musicians involved with this movie. they are all really creative and I love the material. Sadly enough none of them can act, and who ever wrote this wrote a better 60 synopsis for the trailer, than the whole movie.then there are the the messed up sex scenes with clay. i have never beeen skiddish about that sort of stuff, but sitting there watchiong a piece of cley shoved into a clay vagina for 5 minutes made me feel dirty or something.not what I thoughtt, great idea though	negative
1	Live Freaky, Die Freaky: So wrong but soo funny!	Oh my God, this movie had me rolling from scene 1! It is hilarious, provocative and oh so dirty!! Billie Joe does an amazing job as Charlie as does Jane Wiedlin (probably spelled wrong)and the rest of the cast. But be warned, this movie is not intended for the easily offended. Rock on!	positive
0	They should have hired writers and animators	I want 2 hours of my life back..(well an hour because I couldn't watch the rest of this terrible human mistake). It is written, without any focus. Half the time it wants to be a comedy, and the rest of the time it wants to be social commentary. One can only assume the topic of the Manson family was a weak attempt to be cool. The subject matter is created with less edge or controversy than a mini van commercial. The most unbearable part were retarded amount of sex jokes that come out of no where. "Hey how's it goin Billy?"... "That huge sperm shooting cock in my mouth is great" said Billy. I hate myself for having watched as much of this hackneyed trash as I did. I would rather be burned with cigarettes than watch this again. At least burning myself would make me feel like I was being productive with my time.	negative
0	PUPPET PORN AND NOT EVEN GOOD PUPPET PORN	Ok I've seen Team America and that movie was not even this bad - I don;t really remember anything except the Manson puppet raping a female puppet and having full-on rated XXX sex with it all with full-on genitalia - I you are interested in the True-life story of Charlie Manson then get this movie - otherwise skip it please - I am embarrassed that I even bought this trash and even more embarrassed to be selling mine on amazon soon.	negative
1	Depraved, Shameless, Funny	I swear, I thought I could never be shocked by a comedy! I consider myself jaded when it comes to gross out humor, but Live Freaky Die Freaky really tops the charts. I can appreciate the audacity of a Manson musical, and I can appreciate a humorous take on tragedy, but this movie often goes to far. It's not just the graphic language, or "un-simulated puppet sex", or the fact that a friend of Roman Polanski voices Sharon Tate's killer. It's that all these things appear in the same movie!For that, for offending even me, this film automatically gets 4 stars! If the production values were any better this movie would get 5, but that's how it is. Either way, I must say I really liked Billy Joe's version of Mechanical Man...	positive
0	Worst movie ever	I don't care how punk rock this film is. I love punk and I'm a fan of Tim Armstrong and AFI. However, this film is the worst thing I've ever paid to see. I was at the San Francisco premiere and it was nice meeting everyone involved in the movie. When it came to watching the movie itself, I was completely disappointed. I like indie films, stupid humor, and the concept of DIY as much as the next person. However, this film was just done in such poor taste. The editing is terrible. The story is hard to follow. There's almost nothing I like about the movie. The only real funny part is hearing Davey Havok of A.F.I. be the voice of the gay hairstylist. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend that anyone buy this. Try to borrow it from someone else if you can help it. It's not worth $21.99. To be honest, I'd give it less than 1 star if I could but that's the lowest that the rating will go.	negative
0	Not for everyone. In fact, not for very many people at all.	This movie is only for people who have so many cult-classics, that they need something new.When a work of art shocks with the intention of teaching a lesson, it can shine. When it shocks with the intention of shocking, it loses all artisic value. The majority of the shock in Live Freaky, Die Freaky is just there to shock.I did give it two stars though, so I have to justify that. I think that the premise of this movie was a good starting point for what could have been a brilliant, if not corny and bloody cult classic. It just didn't deliver.There are a few people who will enjoy the movie. I'm not critisizing them. They will enjoy it for the punk voices (that's what had me interested), and the silliness. There's nothing wrong with that.	negative
1	Obcesnly Great	this is one of the most obscene movies I've ever seen. Offensive to the very core, and more than slightly disturbing. But over all it is an amazing movie. Though I suggest you read Helter Skelter before watching it (It makes it even funnier) It's still awesome without knowing much about the Manson Murders.This movie is not for the weak at heart	positive
0	live freaky die freaky	tacky tacky.. i bought this for my 14 year old daughter. my 23 year old son said it was awful. how can i get a refund?	negative
1	No budget, but still brilliant!	All I can say is this movie is brilliant. I feel sorry for the people out there who just don't get it. Who are blinded by society's ridiculous conservative bounds. PLUS this movie was done for less than $40k. That in itself is indepedent and punk rock. Old punk attitude. No one will back your view so you do it yourself the way you want to do it any way you can. I think people are expecting a slicked over Tim Burton/Team America $30+ million budgets type movie. This movie is what punk is all about.	positive
0	Ugly...	...really and truly ugly. Not funny, not insightful, just awful. If there's a point to pushing the boundaries, push away. But what exactly was the point of this?But here's what's really wrong with this film: the people depicted are not fictitious. Charlie Manson may have become a pop culture caricature but his victims were real - and their families are still alive. Sharon Tate has a sister still fighting for the rights of crime victims. The LaBiancas had children. Steve Parent was only 18. Sharon Tate's baby would be 36. That baby really was carved out of his mother and killed. It really happened.Now, how funny is that?	negative
0	talentless and boring	I hated this film. Which is a shame because I had been eagerly awaiting its release since I first heard about it. I know this movie is calculated to offend, but it takes skill and intelligence to truly cut deep, whereas this film was just ignorant and BORING! Really- none of the jokes work, and voice acting was insipid and annoying. I know people will revel in its ineptitude, but this wasn't even charmingly bad! Paper magazine's tagline for this film was, "The most deliciously tasteless film since 'Pink Flamingos'". That is a pretty lofty exultation, considering no one involved with this film is good enough to smell John Waters' FARTS!	negative
0	made for retarded teenage punks	Okay, first off the bat, I saw an article on this and I couldn't wait to see it. A guy in the future finds a copy of Helter Skelter and thinks that Charlie "Hanson" is the messiah? Funny s**t right? And then the rest of it in clay-mation? Right On! Then I see it and reality sets in. The clay-mation is terrible. The worst quality ever seen. Those old holiday specials are better than this. The voices are dubbed horribly, and most of the voices are more annoying than children doing a school project. The script is bad, flat out bad. Every line is meant to sound vile and obscene, and make the characters saying them sound stupid. But really... they just sound stupid. Being obscene for the sake of being obscene is nothing more than a kid learning how to curse and getting it wrong.Huge dissapointment. You want to see/hear offensive and politically incorrect? Try Aristocrats or Jesus is Magic.	negative
0	Actually saw it in theatres	Honestly, I love cult classics almost as much as I love punk rock and all that. But, this film is horrible. Even Davey Havok couldn't salvage this film. I waited almost 2 years for this to come out in theaters in San Francisco. I ended up seeing it at the same screening as Davey Havok. This is an awful film...and it really dissapointed me. It's nothing but potty jokes and cheap animation. Tim really failed with this one. If you're dying to see it, go rent it.	negative
0	[...]!	[...] I stuck with the book to the bitter end at which time I threw it away. If you are college age or younger you may find some new ideas here. If you are looking for some sort of cohesive set of ideas or a way of getting "from here to there" with any magical act you will be disappointed. In fact, if you are looking for a decent definition of "memetics" you will be disappointed. This book rambles and in the end, sadly says nothing. I will say though that I am 45 years old and have read a lot all of my life, if you are young your experience with this book may differ. What will not differ is the incoherent presentation of an unrelated set of tired ideas.	negative
1	Pure Black Magick	Though a good book, this one clearly borders on black magic. There's a lot of scientific and cultural jargon sprinkled on to season and coat the inner core, and the reasoning and logic behind the ideas presented are actually very cohesive once you begin to understand the fundamentals, and maybe even revolutionary, but the fact remains that behind all the thinking and the good ideas and the modern terminology, in many 3rd world nations this book would be called what it is - a book of black magick. The inspiration may be for the good, but is darkness cloaked in light a good thing?Great ideas, interesting art... I give the book 5 stars, particularly if you're the deep thinker type...- but should this kind of information be released?	positive
0	Blatant Rehash of Old Ideas	While packaged in a "new and daring" box, it turns out to be the same old stuff.... Nothing new here...just Maya, or more correctly a subset of Maya. Basic Hindi or Buddhist thought given a Paranoid Conspiracy Theory twist...please be compassionate with the poor controlbots and dominators...they know not what they do. The book lacks any kind of real development of ideas. The lame automatic drawing/writing/etc. hardly qualifies as Magick...I did like the insight of all writing/drawing being influenced by the "spiritual realm"...but to engage in this is just spiritualism...automatic or willed. Besides, consider that these spirits/angels/demons are really Maya at work...JUST a PRODUCT of MIND. MARK PAXSON	negative
1	Rock your World (View)	"Memetic Magic" by R. Kirk Packwood is that rarest of books, not so much a paradigm shifter as a paradigm exploder. To that rarest of individuals ready to absorb what Packwood says, "Memetic Magic" can not only change the reader's Reality, but assist the reader in what he terms manipulating the Root Social Matrix, the very fabric of consensus Reality.How many are actually at the stage of being able to both comprehend and utilize memetic magic remains to be seen, but Packwood's exegesis of his main thesis, the centrality of the meme, "the basic unit of socio-cultural transmission..." page 21, is a fascinating new departure from the prevailing theories of memes and the cultural diffusion of ideas, which are themselves quite avant garde.Truly an essential text for those interested in mass magic and particularly for those obsessed (as the Saturnine/Mercurial combined types tend to be) with the deep, hidden and occult factors of the human condition.	positive
1	So close	Device works beautifully, but the "partnership" with Yahoo prevents it from truly setting itself apart.	positive
0	good idea poorly done.	DO NOT BUY. wifi is no longer supported. AS A mp3 player, it was fair.Battery life is terrible, and does not recharge while playing, slow recharge fast discharge. Greatdesign, huh? I bought a car charger for it, so I could use it inthe car, instead of carrying CDs around. NO Go. After a firmwareupdate, the sd card could finally take music. So the actual advertisedfunction of the connect. was a matter of months.This is my 3rd andlast sansa product. Sansa will do nothing, just ignore you. I guessa year is the expected life of a product from sansa. It is in thedrawer now.	negative
0	rather don't buy it	I've bought it here and I don't have it for a long time, but already now I see many bad features which I don't like. batery is very bad-about 4 hours of listening and eventhough I have model without wifi.Playing only mp3,m4p and that's all. believe us with a lower rate.	negative
0	Did not work	SanDisk Sansa Connect 4 GB MP3 Player (Black)This item did not come with the rest of my order. It was shipped separately from a third party vendor. I could not get this item to work. I spent over 8 hours trying. (Some of those hours were consulting with the company and others consulting with people who know about MP3 players). No matter what I did, the machine just would not copy and play my music. However it did copy my entire photo album without even asking. (NOT what I wanted!) I sent it back to the 3rd party vendor and had to wait over 3 weeks for my refund.	negative
0	sansa	this is a piece of junk. I used it for one day, and then stopped working. I didn't even get a chance to upload any songs. I only used it one day to listen to internet music.	negative
0	sansa and yahoo	do not buy this product(the sandisk sansa connect)for yahoo discontinued its music subsciption service in mid 2008,the wireless part was discontined for this product,only accessable by pc. what a waste of time and money.	negative
0	DO NOT BUY Sansa Connect	Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT BUY this product. It does not work properly. It will not sync with Windows Media Player. The Yahoo! internet radio will not work after Summer 2008 because Yahoo! has pulled their contract. It is a rather useless device.	negative

1	MP3 Player	Given to my daughter who understands electronics (unlike myself). She is very pleased with the item. Says worth more than I paid for it. Plays well and sound is very clear. Controls easy to use.	positive
1	Be careful!!	Hi, the player work perfect, music easy to transpose, and good quality sound, but if you're buying fot he Wi-Fi, dont botter, Sandisk/Sansa, took away this feature, and here on amazon, still assure that it has Wi-Fi. Be careful.	positive
0	Sandisk connect mp3 player	Very nice looking player, I like the slim shape of it too. but it is not without fault. To start off the screen protection has some glue on it, and damaged one side of the player. The installation cd for Yahoo Jukebox is garbage. It will not detect the player. And my system will freeze every now and then. So I had to use WMP to upload music to it. The battery will run out even when the player is off. The player gets hot after a while when on. The wifi was absolutly useless, while it detects and connects, I can't listen to internet radio. It says buffering on screen but never plays.I owned an ipod nano, and the quality and usability makes the sansa connect look like a joke. It is a joke.	negative
0	Dissappointing Tech support	I bought this device about 3 months ago. Since then, the built-in speaker stopped working, and I have sound to the earphones on one channel only. I tried to contact tech support, but so far unsuccessful: The website provides a number to call, but it always says that "all circuits are busy". I also sent an email, but no response. Unless they improve their support I cannot recommend these devices.	negative
1	great mp3 player	i think this mp3 player is great,so easy to download songs on,i like the way it shows album covers.jazz	positive
0	Below expectations	This devices has failed to meet my expectations.It looks like developers of this player think that have know better then me how do I want to listen my music. To start with it will work only Windows machine, moreover they force you to install Yahoo software on you computer.Unfortunately this soft is full of bugs and constantly crashes, that drives me crazy.There is not reason why they can't just allow to connect this player to the USB port and copy over all folders together with on move of a mose. No! You need to install Yahoo "Junk boox", then copy folder by folder from your computer to "Junk box", then copy folder by folder from one window of this program to another.Generally I am very disappointed and I am returning it	negative
1	one word: awesome	bought this as a gift for my wife after she lost her ipod. she absolutely loved it. it was easy to set up and she can upload the songs herself and can always have a "fresh" selection. battery life could be better, but the player will work while recharging, so no worries there.	positive
0	Could have been the Killer MP3 Player of 2008!	Why Sansa tied this product to Yahoo is beyond me. If they had made this player generic so it play through any WiFi connection, it would have made it the best MP3 Player on the market. I have been looking for a Wireless MP3 Player that I can connect to my stereo systems (house, car, boat) and play whatever songs I have on it. Can you imagine if you could do that and download songs wirelessly from your PC, Notebook!	negative
0	Very poor product	I bought this during thanksgiving day sale. I loved the fact that this player has Wi-Fi and expandable, using the microSD slot. But none that matters if the player never goes off! Yes, for whatever reasons, after a couple of on/off, downloading a song or two, the player would not power off, it got stuck in the welcome screen. Since it does not have a detacheable battery, I had no choice but to return the item to Amazon. Wish Sandisk had paid more attention to product quality.	negative
0	No support for wireless "N" yet	Was purchased primarily for wi-fi found out it will not work with "N" but should work with the older versions...... so I wait...support was excelent!	negative
0	Hardware Problems	First let me say that overall, this is not a bad mp3 player. The internet radio is a great feature (especially when you aren't willing to pay for premium services like satellite radio). The menu transitions seemed to lag a bit, but that could be resolved with future firmware updates.However, I rated this for two stars because of unreliable hardware. The first one I had would overheat and shutdown when it was playing and charging with a car adapter. After a days use it also started to turn itself on everytime the player was plugged in and lock up before it finished loading. If I plugged in the player while playing music, it would also lock up.I sent that back for a replacement, which had a nonfunctional volumn down button. If you really need WiFi capabilites, wait for something better to come along.	negative
0	Don't buy this product it wont work after July	Let me first say, I actually really like the Sansa Connect. I bought one about a month ago for use with the Yahoo Music Service and have really been liking it. I am giving this a 1 review simply because this product will become obsolete in a few months. All of the features using Yahoo Music will just go away when you are forced to transition to Rhapsody. Basically you will be left with an overpriced underpowered MP3 player with a wireless connection you cant do anything with. Do not purchase this product!!!!!	negative
0	Save Your Money	Save your money. The WIFI is a great idea, but with the Connect, it is supposed to connect to Yahoo music. HOWEVER, Yahoo music no longer works with the Connect. I thought I could still connect to other internet-based music services - no dice. The WIFI is completely useless. And, San Disk no longer supports the Connect MP3 player. Otherwise, just an average MP3 player with a below average battery life. Great idea....while it lasted.	negative
0	DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM	This review may seem late,however,please read on..These players do not have replaceable batteries..I have had this player for 10 months and now it is nothing but trash..Searched for battery replacement..Can not do it..If bought from Sansa they MAY replace at your cost within a year..Landfill material..I hope this helps others from a very costly mistake..Google Sansa Connect and read a very bad review of this player..	negative
1	Astonishing	This disk, which I was lucky enough to buy from Ake himself, is nothing short of amazing. It's not just a sonic trip around the world, it's also a sonic trip through the history of humanity. I begins as does the bible "in the beginning..." "...let there be...SOUND!" It gives me shivers and I hear something new and clever every time my ipod finds this track.Latest listen: NYC subway: middle of the night. The first time I've ever been frightened on the subway...and it had nothing to do with the physical surroundings.	positive
0	Really bad sound	People will try and say that this recording comes in all of its mono (audio) glory, or something along those lines however, it's just plain bad audio recording and I was quite surprised they (Koch) didn't clean it up. Get all his other "Little Darling" recordings on Koch but skip this one. More frustrating than anything else.	negative
0	Take This Poor Quality Recording And Shove It	Terrible non-re-engineering; audio cut-outs; weird "stereo" pans; disorienting. Not worth it even for collectors and Paycheck devotees. The individual "preview" tracks don't show the flaws so I bought this with the expectation that I was going to get some rare gems instead of slop.	negative
1	Not fot the Crowd	The album as a whole is not great but the least known band here Not fot the Crowd makes it 5 stars and more than worth the buy. I only wish they had put out more.	positive
1	MomsLikeUsToo is great!	I really loved this CD; it is a great way to find out about new groups that you may never have heard of... I now love Project86 and want to get their CD for myself and for a friend. It is SO AWESOME!	positive

Preview / review

First, the author is fun to listen to. He is animated, obviously enjoys talking about the topic, and is very informative. Occasionally, he sounds like he has some indigestion/GERD going on from eating lunch without chewing, but that says more about the occupation than the man.I like the way the Sum & Substance series is packaged. Others of the series have extra CDs enclosed, which I enjoy, but the information is why I got the CDs.This is the perfect tool for creating a course outline before your class starts. You can have a great overview, already familiar with your Issues and your Rules, going into class to focus on your Analysis and able to cut, paste, and add to your existing course outline.Am very glad I made this purchase.

If you are new to Torts and need an excellent first pass at Torts before diving into the "real" work of the subject, then this will do the trick very nicely. His jokes are strangely amusing....was Torts meant to be amusing???I highly recommend listening to it as early as possible as it will provide the skeleton you'll need during the semester.If only Finz recorded ALL my subjects......

He has a gift

He is originally from New York, so he does not have a bland TV accent. However, he is understandable. He is very animated and clearly enjoys his work. He keeps the "show" moving by not dawdling along as some audio professors do, but he does not talk so fast that it is hard to keep up.He does a terrific job blending "black letter" law with hypothetical cases. A worthwhile outline can be constructed from his audio. (However be aware that his "pinch hypothetical" example does not work for all courses/professors. It is the difference between "battery is an intentional harmful or offensive contact" and "battery is an intentional contact that is harmful or offensive." He subscribes to the former and some authorities subscribe to the latter.) He provides a thorough review that has really helped me prepare for finals. He deserves 6 stars. :)

Amazon charges $3.99 shipping and this isn't much more than a laminated sheet of paper. (It could have been shipped in an envelope for under 40 cents) That makes it $10 and you'd be better off getting a real book. I'm going to send mine back.

generally a big fan of Cara Black but this latest is a big mound of material searching for a decent editor. Even for a big fan its a slog.

The best way to teach drawing I've ever seen!

I was thrilled when I received my copies of Steve Barr's books. His approach to teaching the art of drawing cartoons is fantastic! From the beginning, he points out that there are "No Rules!". I love this approach for teaching children, and also for "big kids" like myself! People of all ages will learn a lot from his books, and have so much fun along the way. Each book shows step-by-step ways to accomplish adorable cartoons. I highly recommend this book to parents with budding artists, and to schools for their art classes!

Different take on Wonder Woman

I have always been a Wonder Woman fan since the comics so I was excited for theanimated version. The story is this - Ares, God of War, has escaped from hisimprisonment on Themyscira and Hippolyta, the Queen of the Amazons, must send achampion to get him back. Hippolyta holds a contest and the champion will becomeWonder Woman. However Diana, Hippolyta's daughter wants to be the champion, buther mother has forbidden it. So she disguises herself and wins. As Wonder Woman,Diana goes to Man's World with the help of Steve Trevor, a man who has crashed onthe all-woman isle.Excellent voice casting and a decent retelling of how Wonder Woman came to be.However that being said, this is a revision of the Wonder Woman story, not theone told in the comics. I would read the comics too. The basic elements of thestory are there. It's PG-13. There is a little violence and suggestive material.I would suggest this for teens rather than for children.

Loved it!

My only exposure to Wonder Woman before this movie was the Justice League cartoon and a few clips from the 70s tv show. My sister bought the animated movie and I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed it. The animation's fantastic, voice acting was good and the story was better than a lot of live action movies with ten times the budget. It kind of reminded me of Xena, which I'm also a huge fan of.The only nitpick I have is they could have added something explaining the invisible jet, but honestly it didn't really detract from the film.

AWESOME!

This film was GREAT! It definitely rivals the Marvel animated films that have come out recently. How they drew the character is still typical DC style like Superman Doomsday. The animators created a new look for her, extremely beautiful and streamlined. I hated the character Steve Trevor. I know they were trying to portray the male as the "lesser being" if you will, but he was just plain corny.Overall, this film is a more than worthy purchase.

Excellent movie with no polictical agenda

I just finished watching this movie. It is excellent.There is no political agenda like (unfortunately) the Justice League New Frontier. Instead, the movie revolves around Diana's origin and introduction to her "boyfriend" Steve Trevor. The action and storyline is on target with a very good ending.This is better than "Justice League, the New Frontier" and better than Superman's Doomsday (The Death of Superman) movie.The movie is rated PG-13 because there is quite a bit of violence and death in the movie.If you like the DC Comics animation from Bruce Timm (TV Series Batman the Animated Series, Superman, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited and the movies previously mentioned), this is the best. You will enjoy it.Thank you.

Loved it! But not for kids :(

I just watched this movie today and I absolutely LOVED it! I am a big WW fan and thought this movie had a great story, beautiful animation and the right comedic timing! The fight scenes were amazing but VERY brutal! Chopping heads off and overall sword fighting would be WAY too much for little DC fans! My 6 year old son has seen other "PG-13" movies (Iron Man and Transformers) but this was a little too much.LOVED IT and hope it leads to it's own series!!! It's time for a little DC girl power. Batman and Superman have had their own shows, lets get WW on scene!

Not for the faint of heart, or for kids

Creative license? I've not read any of the comic books, but I've seen every episode of the original Woman Woman series (circa 1970s-80s). This was an interesting take, and it captured my attention. There were many common elements, but enough difference to keep me glued to the screen. I enjoyed the detailed background of where Diana came from, the invisible jet scenes, and Steve getting to play a possible love interest. See this stream to see how it turns out!

The DCAU always gets it right.

It's amazing how consistently great the recent DC Animated Universe DVD releases have been. I can't think of a single title that has disappointed me, unlike the majority of the Marvel animated projects. Wonder Woman is no exception. From the very beginning, this movie is a whole lot of fun to watch. As I saw Hippolyta fly through the air to battle Ares, I was already excited to watch the rest. The battle scenes are brutal and great to watch. The voice cast is excellent, and includes an always welcome Nathan Fillion as Steve Trevor. Aside from a few things left unexplained (such as why the entire city of Washington D.C. just happens to be conveniently free of every last citizen when the final battle takes place), it is probably one of the best DCAU projects to date.

Wonder woman with wonder

One thing I definatly did not realize is the fact that despite the hype of all the other people clinging to the myth of the history of women of Thesymasera, I was a tad disappointed that they scraped over it and seemed to be simply the moments and path of Ares. He didn't create the island although he was the reason for thier protection. Hopefully in the future they will come back and show more of the role of Wonder woman in her continued gift to mankind not just this moment of revelation.Otherwise I thoroughly endorse this flick and loved the animation and creation process!

Tape Crazy

Movie itself is fine. Came quickly and packaged well. The only situation I have problems with is the security tape everywhere on the casing. I am a person who likes to keep the package as nice as I can for as long as I can. But whom ever place the security tape on the actual plastic should know that, I will not come off with out somewhat damaging the wrapper. To get of the tape from the plastic cover takes much effort and unfortunately as hard as I tried..I had to rip the plastic cover to get of the tape.

BEST DCAU MOVIE YET

I had low expectations when this movie came out. I bought Superman:Doomsday, The New Frontier, and Gotham Knights and was disappointed with all 3 (I traded them in for other movies). I was really surprised with how good this movie was. It was a good story and I loved the injection of humor into the dialogue. It was easily the best DCAU movie to date and I hope that Green Lantern continues the upward trend.

Finally

It has taken 30 years for Wonder Woman to obtain a solo film project, and though this direct to video animated feature does have it's flaws, it is still an immensely entertaining film for fans of the genre.some Pros:The animation and character designs are top notch. Kudos to Lauren Montgomery for not replicating the look of Justice League, and finally bringing a new look to the DC animated universe.The score, could honestly have been used for a live action film.The voice talent was extremely well done.some Cons:There were a few too many cut corners in trying to get the film squeezed into a 75 minute running time (i.e. no explanation for the Invisible Jet, how and why Ares brought back all these mythical creatures to attack Washington, etc.)and some inconsistency in Diana's level of strengthOverall, a must see.

This movie is sorely underrated and underpublicized. This movie provides a deep back history to the Amazonian and pays the character her just respect. The music is fitting and Keri Russell is awesome in the role. Madsen does a bang-up job as Hippolyta. Tons of good action.Great job!

TYPLICALLY BAD

It was my understanding that the driving reason for this movie was becasue Wonder Woman had somehow been overlooked in the animated movies of recent years. I do agree with that. She was one of the founding members of the JLA. She is one of the most powerful and respected members of the JLA and the DC universe in general. Which makes it hard for me to understand that with all of these OUTSTANDING facts to support this movie, THIS is the BEST they could come up with? THIS is the BEST animation they have to offer one of the most overlooked, yet deserving super heros in the DC universe? I was thankful I NETFLIX-ed this one first. If I had wasted my money by streaming it from AMAZON, I would have been pissed! Im just saying.

Men Bashing

Aside from cartooning that is nowhere near the high standard that Disney has set, the story line is a hugely, blatant, men-bashing fest. Not fun unless you want to teach girls to hate men. It also teaches by example that little girls with training can beat up big men with equal training - a falsehood that will probably get some young women in real trouble one day.

It's a man's world baby!

Yes - the animation is nicely done & all but I had to give this dvd only 2 stars - because SEXIST REMARKS ARE NEVER OK. If Steve Trevor was not in this movie then it would've got 4 stars-easily. When he makes comments about Wonder Woman's breasts, like, "She's got a nice rack!" makes you wanna cringe. I was hoping he'd get killed off in the end but instead he ends up kissing Diana. WHY-must every strong woman need a man to "balance" off her warrior like qualities? Why can Diana just save the world but she needs a sexist love interest to reassure viewers that she's a "real" woman. Is anyone else as offended as I am? It doesn't matter if the animation is high quality, the script - sucks.

Not a good one

I've admired Bruce Timm's work now for many years. His work with Batman, Superman and the Justice League was simply outstanding. Unfortunately for me his work that follows has been marginal. I think so far the Justice League (New Frontier) movie was the best but Superman Doomsday and now this effort have fallen short of my expectations. The Wonder Woman story for me was marginal although it was interesting to see the take on the backstory. The plot of the movie seemed to have been written by writers stuck in their adolescence. It all wraps up with a battle in DC which is just ludicrous.What made Batman TAS and the other shows so different was the depth of the personalities, attention to the story, unique character designs and backdrops. This effort falls very short in all those areas. The animation was stiff and most of the characters, particularly Trevor looked flat and unappealing. Hopefully the next effort will be better.

Woman Wonderful

George Perez should be so proud. This animated retelling of Wonder Woman's origins and her first adventure into man's world is a rich tapestry of mythology, sisterhood and feminine mystique. There is tragedy, passion, faith and triumph. While some of the themes are very adult, my eight year old really enjoyed seeing a female, powerful hero which Wonder Woman has always represented. You can see more of a lengthier review about the film here: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1545777/wonder_woman_2009.html?cat=40But if you're on the fence and you're a fan of the Wonder Woman comic, buy this -- it really is exceptionally well done and respectful of her myth and legend.

So Far So Good

Needed a condenser microphone for recording vocals and acoustic guitar. I almost went with two different microphone but finally decided to go with this. This one cost about $20 than my other choices but I'm pretty confident that this is a much much higher quality product. It does not include a hard case (a soft pouch is included) and it does not include a shock mount. A standard mount is included. As for buying a shock mounts to go with it, there is one that is very cheap and most users say that it breaks and is not work getting. I don't feel that it is necessary for shock mount, not for now anyways. I'm satisfied with my purchase.

Awesome Mic. Awesome sound>!

Wow.First of all. I have a very deep voice which is hard sometimes to get right on certain mics. I recently tried the Bluebird. Right before ordering the MXL.The Bluebird was a very crispy ..nice bright mic.It was very, very absorbent,could pick up the car down the street engine roar from within the building. Having said that... I picked up this MXL. I was impressed with Bluebird, but once I tried this one I was blown away.Needless to say I paid less , much less and I sound better!My voice sounds so natural. Is almost like is amplifying my chords with no color, but colored warm, real warm. No real need for eq. This mic is a bad a**. Im im love with it. I have never sounded so transparent,so strong. Highly recommend.Thanks Amazon

You get what you pay for with anything in most cases, but this mic is pretty high quality for only $100. It has a very clear and up front sound to it. Its great for recording vocals. Better than the MXL 2001 that I have and much better than the Blue Snowball which are both the same price.

Faulty Mic

Unfortunately China does not have the best quality control. This Mic does not work. Make sure that you check this mic upon arrival. There is a chance that this mic may not work. I got burned on this purchase because I didn't check if it worked when I got it right away. Hopefully you will have better luck than I did.

Might be a good mic but...

Unfortunately I haven't been able to use it. The company shipped either a mismanufactured or flat out wrong mic clip. They finally responded with them being out of stock go talk to amazon. Uhhhggg. I bought a shock mount. If that shows up functional and as advertised I will let you know about the actual mic. I don't mean to take out my frustration with the vendor on the product.

the most dissapointing movie I have seen

to start off, I love the musicians involved with this movie. they are all really creative and I love the material. Sadly enough none of them can act, and who ever wrote this wrote a better 60 synopsis for the trailer, than the whole movie.then there are the the messed up sex scenes with clay. i have never beeen skiddish about that sort of stuff, but sitting there watchiong a piece of cley shoved into a clay vagina for 5 minutes made me feel dirty or something.not what I thoughtt, great idea though

Live Freaky, Die Freaky: So wrong but soo funny!

Oh my God, this movie had me rolling from scene 1! It is hilarious, provocative and oh so dirty!! Billie Joe does an amazing job as Charlie as does Jane Wiedlin (probably spelled wrong)and the rest of the cast. But be warned, this movie is not intended for the easily offended. Rock on!

They should have hired writers and animators

I want 2 hours of my life back..(well an hour because I couldn't watch the rest of this terrible human mistake). It is written, without any focus. Half the time it wants to be a comedy, and the rest of the time it wants to be social commentary. One can only assume the topic of the Manson family was a weak attempt to be cool. The subject matter is created with less edge or controversy than a mini van commercial. The most unbearable part were retarded amount of sex jokes that come out of no where. "Hey how's it goin Billy?"... "That huge sperm shooting cock in my mouth is great" said Billy. I hate myself for having watched as much of this hackneyed trash as I did. I would rather be burned with cigarettes than watch this again. At least burning myself would make me feel like I was being productive with my time.

PUPPET PORN AND NOT EVEN GOOD PUPPET PORN

Ok I've seen Team America and that movie was not even this bad - I don;t really remember anything except the Manson puppet raping a female puppet and having full-on rated XXX sex with it all with full-on genitalia - I you are interested in the True-life story of Charlie Manson then get this movie - otherwise skip it please - I am embarrassed that I even bought this trash and even more embarrassed to be selling mine on amazon soon.

Depraved, Shameless, Funny

I swear, I thought I could never be shocked by a comedy! I consider myself jaded when it comes to gross out humor, but Live Freaky Die Freaky really tops the charts. I can appreciate the audacity of a Manson musical, and I can appreciate a humorous take on tragedy, but this movie often goes to far. It's not just the graphic language, or "un-simulated puppet sex", or the fact that a friend of Roman Polanski voices Sharon Tate's killer. It's that all these things appear in the same movie!For that, for offending even me, this film automatically gets 4 stars! If the production values were any better this movie would get 5, but that's how it is. Either way, I must say I really liked Billy Joe's version of Mechanical Man...

Worst movie ever

I don't care how punk rock this film is. I love punk and I'm a fan of Tim Armstrong and AFI. However, this film is the worst thing I've ever paid to see. I was at the San Francisco premiere and it was nice meeting everyone involved in the movie. When it came to watching the movie itself, I was completely disappointed. I like indie films, stupid humor, and the concept of DIY as much as the next person. However, this film was just done in such poor taste. The editing is terrible. The story is hard to follow. There's almost nothing I like about the movie. The only real funny part is hearing Davey Havok of A.F.I. be the voice of the gay hairstylist. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend that anyone buy this. Try to borrow it from someone else if you can help it. It's not worth $21.99. To be honest, I'd give it less than 1 star if I could but that's the lowest that the rating will go.

Not for everyone. In fact, not for very many people at all.

This movie is only for people who have so many cult-classics, that they need something new.When a work of art shocks with the intention of teaching a lesson, it can shine. When it shocks with the intention of shocking, it loses all artisic value. The majority of the shock in Live Freaky, Die Freaky is just there to shock.I did give it two stars though, so I have to justify that. I think that the premise of this movie was a good starting point for what could have been a brilliant, if not corny and bloody cult classic. It just didn't deliver.There are a few people who will enjoy the movie. I'm not critisizing them. They will enjoy it for the punk voices (that's what had me interested), and the silliness. There's nothing wrong with that.

Obcesnly Great

this is one of the most obscene movies I've ever seen. Offensive to the very core, and more than slightly disturbing. But over all it is an amazing movie. Though I suggest you read Helter Skelter before watching it (It makes it even funnier) It's still awesome without knowing much about the Manson Murders.This movie is not for the weak at heart

No budget, but still brilliant!

All I can say is this movie is brilliant. I feel sorry for the people out there who just don't get it. Who are blinded by society's ridiculous conservative bounds. PLUS this movie was done for less than $40k. That in itself is indepedent and punk rock. Old punk attitude. No one will back your view so you do it yourself the way you want to do it any way you can. I think people are expecting a slicked over Tim Burton/Team America $30+ million budgets type movie. This movie is what punk is all about.

Ugly...

...really and truly ugly. Not funny, not insightful, just awful. If there's a point to pushing the boundaries, push away. But what exactly was the point of this?But here's what's really wrong with this film: the people depicted are not fictitious. Charlie Manson may have become a pop culture caricature but his victims were real - and their families are still alive. Sharon Tate has a sister still fighting for the rights of crime victims. The LaBiancas had children. Steve Parent was only 18. Sharon Tate's baby would be 36. That baby really was carved out of his mother and killed. It really happened.Now, how funny is that?

talentless and boring

I hated this film. Which is a shame because I had been eagerly awaiting its release since I first heard about it. I know this movie is calculated to offend, but it takes skill and intelligence to truly cut deep, whereas this film was just ignorant and BORING! Really- none of the jokes work, and voice acting was insipid and annoying. I know people will revel in its ineptitude, but this wasn't even charmingly bad! Paper magazine's tagline for this film was, "The most deliciously tasteless film since 'Pink Flamingos'". That is a pretty lofty exultation, considering no one involved with this film is good enough to smell John Waters' FARTS!

made for retarded teenage punks

Okay, first off the bat, I saw an article on this and I couldn't wait to see it. A guy in the future finds a copy of Helter Skelter and thinks that Charlie "Hanson" is the messiah? Funny s**t right? And then the rest of it in clay-mation? Right On! Then I see it and reality sets in. The clay-mation is terrible. The worst quality ever seen. Those old holiday specials are better than this. The voices are dubbed horribly, and most of the voices are more annoying than children doing a school project. The script is bad, flat out bad. Every line is meant to sound vile and obscene, and make the characters saying them sound stupid. But really... they just sound stupid. Being obscene for the sake of being obscene is nothing more than a kid learning how to curse and getting it wrong.Huge dissapointment. You want to see/hear offensive and politically incorrect? Try Aristocrats or Jesus is Magic.

Actually saw it in theatres

Honestly, I love cult classics almost as much as I love punk rock and all that. But, this film is horrible. Even Davey Havok couldn't salvage this film. I waited almost 2 years for this to come out in theaters in San Francisco. I ended up seeing it at the same screening as Davey Havok. This is an awful film...and it really dissapointed me. It's nothing but potty jokes and cheap animation. Tim really failed with this one. If you're dying to see it, go rent it.

[...]!

[...] I stuck with the book to the bitter end at which time I threw it away. If you are college age or younger you may find some new ideas here. If you are looking for some sort of cohesive set of ideas or a way of getting "from here to there" with any magical act you will be disappointed. In fact, if you are looking for a decent definition of "memetics" you will be disappointed. This book rambles and in the end, sadly says nothing. I will say though that I am 45 years old and have read a lot all of my life, if you are young your experience with this book may differ. What will not differ is the incoherent presentation of an unrelated set of tired ideas.

Pure Black Magick

Though a good book, this one clearly borders on black magic. There's a lot of scientific and cultural jargon sprinkled on to season and coat the inner core, and the reasoning and logic behind the ideas presented are actually very cohesive once you begin to understand the fundamentals, and maybe even revolutionary, but the fact remains that behind all the thinking and the good ideas and the modern terminology, in many 3rd world nations this book would be called what it is - a book of black magick. The inspiration may be for the good, but is darkness cloaked in light a good thing?Great ideas, interesting art... I give the book 5 stars, particularly if you're the deep thinker type...- but should this kind of information be released?

Blatant Rehash of Old Ideas

While packaged in a "new and daring" box, it turns out to be the same old stuff.... Nothing new here...just Maya, or more correctly a subset of Maya. Basic Hindi or Buddhist thought given a Paranoid Conspiracy Theory twist...please be compassionate with the poor controlbots and dominators...they know not what they do. The book lacks any kind of real development of ideas. The lame automatic drawing/writing/etc. hardly qualifies as Magick...I did like the insight of all writing/drawing being influenced by the "spiritual realm"...but to engage in this is just spiritualism...automatic or willed. Besides, consider that these spirits/angels/demons are really Maya at work...JUST a PRODUCT of MIND. MARK PAXSON

Rock your World (View)

"Memetic Magic" by R. Kirk Packwood is that rarest of books, not so much a paradigm shifter as a paradigm exploder. To that rarest of individuals ready to absorb what Packwood says, "Memetic Magic" can not only change the reader's Reality, but assist the reader in what he terms manipulating the Root Social Matrix, the very fabric of consensus Reality.How many are actually at the stage of being able to both comprehend and utilize memetic magic remains to be seen, but Packwood's exegesis of his main thesis, the centrality of the meme, "the basic unit of socio-cultural transmission..." page 21, is a fascinating new departure from the prevailing theories of memes and the cultural diffusion of ideas, which are themselves quite avant garde.Truly an essential text for those interested in mass magic and particularly for those obsessed (as the Saturnine/Mercurial combined types tend to be) with the deep, hidden and occult factors of the human condition.

good idea poorly done.

DO NOT BUY. wifi is no longer supported. AS A mp3 player, it was fair.Battery life is terrible, and does not recharge while playing, slow recharge fast discharge. Greatdesign, huh? I bought a car charger for it, so I could use it inthe car, instead of carrying CDs around. NO Go. After a firmwareupdate, the sd card could finally take music. So the actual advertisedfunction of the connect. was a matter of months.This is my 3rd andlast sansa product. Sansa will do nothing, just ignore you. I guessa year is the expected life of a product from sansa. It is in thedrawer now.

Did not work

SanDisk Sansa Connect 4 GB MP3 Player (Black)This item did not come with the rest of my order. It was shipped separately from a third party vendor. I could not get this item to work. I spent over 8 hours trying. (Some of those hours were consulting with the company and others consulting with people who know about MP3 players). No matter what I did, the machine just would not copy and play my music. However it did copy my entire photo album without even asking. (NOT what I wanted!) I sent it back to the 3rd party vendor and had to wait over 3 weeks for my refund.

Sandisk connect mp3 player

Very nice looking player, I like the slim shape of it too. but it is not without fault. To start off the screen protection has some glue on it, and damaged one side of the player. The installation cd for Yahoo Jukebox is garbage. It will not detect the player. And my system will freeze every now and then. So I had to use WMP to upload music to it. The battery will run out even when the player is off. The player gets hot after a while when on. The wifi was absolutly useless, while it detects and connects, I can't listen to internet radio. It says buffering on screen but never plays.I owned an ipod nano, and the quality and usability makes the sansa connect look like a joke. It is a joke.

Dissappointing Tech support

I bought this device about 3 months ago. Since then, the built-in speaker stopped working, and I have sound to the earphones on one channel only. I tried to contact tech support, but so far unsuccessful: The website provides a number to call, but it always says that "all circuits are busy". I also sent an email, but no response. Unless they improve their support I cannot recommend these devices.

Below expectations

This devices has failed to meet my expectations.It looks like developers of this player think that have know better then me how do I want to listen my music. To start with it will work only Windows machine, moreover they force you to install Yahoo software on you computer.Unfortunately this soft is full of bugs and constantly crashes, that drives me crazy.There is not reason why they can't just allow to connect this player to the USB port and copy over all folders together with on move of a mose. No! You need to install Yahoo "Junk boox", then copy folder by folder from your computer to "Junk box", then copy folder by folder from one window of this program to another.Generally I am very disappointed and I am returning it

one word: awesome

Could have been the Killer MP3 Player of 2008!

Why Sansa tied this product to Yahoo is beyond me. If they had made this player generic so it play through any WiFi connection, it would have made it the best MP3 Player on the market. I have been looking for a Wireless MP3 Player that I can connect to my stereo systems (house, car, boat) and play whatever songs I have on it. Can you imagine if you could do that and download songs wirelessly from your PC, Notebook!

Very poor product

I bought this during thanksgiving day sale. I loved the fact that this player has Wi-Fi and expandable, using the microSD slot. But none that matters if the player never goes off! Yes, for whatever reasons, after a couple of on/off, downloading a song or two, the player would not power off, it got stuck in the welcome screen. Since it does not have a detacheable battery, I had no choice but to return the item to Amazon. Wish Sandisk had paid more attention to product quality.

Hardware Problems

First let me say that overall, this is not a bad mp3 player. The internet radio is a great feature (especially when you aren't willing to pay for premium services like satellite radio). The menu transitions seemed to lag a bit, but that could be resolved with future firmware updates.However, I rated this for two stars because of unreliable hardware. The first one I had would overheat and shutdown when it was playing and charging with a car adapter. After a days use it also started to turn itself on everytime the player was plugged in and lock up before it finished loading. If I plugged in the player while playing music, it would also lock up.I sent that back for a replacement, which had a nonfunctional volumn down button. If you really need WiFi capabilites, wait for something better to come along.

Don't buy this product it wont work after July

Let me first say, I actually really like the Sansa Connect. I bought one about a month ago for use with the Yahoo Music Service and have really been liking it. I am giving this a 1 review simply because this product will become obsolete in a few months. All of the features using Yahoo Music will just go away when you are forced to transition to Rhapsody. Basically you will be left with an overpriced underpowered MP3 player with a wireless connection you cant do anything with. Do not purchase this product!!!!!

Save Your Money

Save your money. The WIFI is a great idea, but with the Connect, it is supposed to connect to Yahoo music. HOWEVER, Yahoo music no longer works with the Connect. I thought I could still connect to other internet-based music services - no dice. The WIFI is completely useless. And, San Disk no longer supports the Connect MP3 player. Otherwise, just an average MP3 player with a below average battery life. Great idea....while it lasted.

DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM

This review may seem late,however,please read on..These players do not have replaceable batteries..I have had this player for 10 months and now it is nothing but trash..Searched for battery replacement..Can not do it..If bought from Sansa they MAY replace at your cost within a year..Landfill material..I hope this helps others from a very costly mistake..Google Sansa Connect and read a very bad review of this player..

Astonishing

This disk, which I was lucky enough to buy from Ake himself, is nothing short of amazing. It's not *just* a sonic trip around the world, it's also a sonic trip through the history of humanity. I begins as does the bible "in the beginning..." "...let there be...SOUND!" It gives me shivers and I hear something new and clever every time my ipod finds this track.Latest listen: NYC subway: middle of the night. The first time I've ever been frightened on the subway...and it had nothing to do with the physical surroundings.

Really bad sound

People will try and say that this recording comes in all of its mono (audio) glory, or something along those lines however, it's just plain bad audio recording and I was quite surprised they (Koch) didn't clean it up.

Terrible non-re-engineering; audio cut-outs; weird "stereo" pans; disorienting. Not worth it even for collectors and Paycheck devotees. The individual "preview" tracks don't show the flaws so I bought this with the expectation that I was going to get some rare gems instead of slop.
