Sons Of Anarchy - Bykuz.com

Yeah I was surfing the other day and visited one of my most favourite sites - bykuz.com.
at present there is a large amount of interest in the new Bravo TV series 'sons of Anarchy, due to start very soon here in the UK. Like the guys at Bykuz.com I also caught several episodes in the USA and think it is a pretty entertaining series.
Most worrying is the fact that some guys , I suppose the same way as Trekkies do, take the programme and dress up and pretend to live the life. One even asks whether there are plans for the series creators to establish the club for real...................Muppet...........he probably wrote off for a membership aplication after watching the Godfather movies.....! - shouldn't be allowed out without a nurse medication or no medication !

Sons of Anarchy.

I caught the premier of this new TV show whilst in the States August 2008.....watch it and decide for yourself. Without a doubt it is well researched and gets some things right and others wrong..........Hey ....It's entertainment ! although having seen a couple of muppets comments on the forum/blogs to the series from individuals who ask - where they can buy a set of Colours/Patch, and another asking if the series producers have any plans to set up an MC from the series....? I despair..........I guess the one individual probably wrote off for an application form to join the mafia after seeing the Godfather movies ! some people shouldn't be allowed out without a nurse !

The Sons of Anarchy is a fictional - yes fictional ! outlaw motorcycle club with many charters in the United States. The Charming local is the original founding charter of the Sons of Anarchy.
The show has already aired in several European countries after the success in the US, and is due to air in the next few months in the UK on Bravo.

Oscars Nomination

was initially really astounded/dissappointed that the movie 'Defiance' with Daniel Craig was not up there in the main Oscar nominations. Granted it did get a nomination for the music score but nothing more.
But then when I began to think about it in context I began to feel a lot better about it.
Firstly, the Oscars being industry awards, are really about little more than a pat on the back and marketing - oscars not only increase the bums on seats, longevity and DVD sales of the movie but secure the bankability of actors and filmakers alike for the next project. It's the Movie 'Business' lets never forget that.
Secondly, ok the publicity of the oscar nomination/win does help but as long as the movie was made and watched then the story has been told.
Thirdly, yes it's a great story,a true story, but although it is a story well told, cinematographically well made,it isn't a G.R.E.A.T movie.
I guess it's just unfortunate that often a story worth telling doesn't get the attention given to some indulgent piece of fiction.

I think the most dissappointing thing I saw about this movie was a description on a major website movie chart as "a movie about 3 Jewish brothers who get revenge for the killing of their parents"...........mmmm

pirate video

I bought a dvd advertised as region 1(or was it 2 ?) from ebay. The Title was The history of the Hells Angels. It arrived in a home styled cover and the label on the disc was paper and matching design. It turned out to be a straight 'Copy' of the History Channel Documentary made in 2005. The disc wouldn't play without disruption on DVD or on my PC.
When I moaned to the seller about it being a pirate she claimed it wasn't ...... as the film is in the public domain......? ? ? I'm sure History Channel think different.......................in her 'e'mail she also points out matter-of -factly' that I should check my facts, and that she has sold at least 5 copies nad never had any faulty ones.

I also bought a 2003 onwards Harley Sportster workshop manual.from another seller.........didn't read the whole advertisement and lo and behold a disc arrives.
