Yesterday we touched on a particular Amazon.com reviewer who, I feel, represents the curious madness of those who seem to have nothing better to do than heap criticism upon popular culture with barely the slightest provocation. People like me, I suppose. But hey, at least I have the courtesy to possess the literary ability above the common tree frog, whereas K. Tarin treats the English language as his own personal colostomy bag. Since there’s something slightly pathetic about doing a 2-day post on the mild annoyance of someone else’s opinions, idiotic as they are, I’ll keep this short and sweet.
I suppose what I find most curious about K. Tarin’s reviews are that he seems to purchase things he knows he’s going to hate, presumably for the sole purpose of ragging on them through Amazon reviews. His negative (one star) admonitions outweigh his positives by something like 10 to 1, with concert DVDs or videos being the largest source of his ire. Check out this laundry list of concert shows that didn’t make the grade:
Live at the Montreux Jazz Festival 1978“Getting tired of tarded camera work, someone start a school for these
people?... pure and simple. stop blowing it!!!!! TARDED!”
Metallica – The Videos 1989-2004“No Closed Captioned, or subtitles, for this DVD Some of my music DVD's
from almost 10 years ago have it. Flat no more excuses anymore, its 2007 now!!
“F+ on this DVD just for this”
Ted Nugent – Full Bluntal Nugity Liveso many good reviews, you people must be young, and or never seen Ted in the
70's. I am talking about he does not use a Gibson Birdland guitar anymore.
Why? is it to hard to play nightly? takes to much out of you? or what?
Styx – Return to Paradise“before I bounce this thing, "listening" to styx has always been one of my fav
listens. Studio work is killer. live, I guess I am glad I missed them live.
POSERS”
I fail to understand why someone with the worst taste in music ever would continue to purchase metric tons of concert videos which he clearly hates. I don’t think it’s the movies that are “tarded,” you deranged monkey.
You may have noticed that K. Tarin rails against there not being closed captioning on the Metallica videos; this is a common complaint and he lists it in many reviews of DVDs. Uhm…what precisely is enjoyable about reading a music video? If you can’t hear the goddamn music all you’re watching is barely coherent 3-minute stories about angst and women, aren’t you? I just…sweet Christmas I just don’t get this guy. Hey, did it occur to you that maybe the reason you’re deaf is all the concert speakers you sat three inches from back in the 70s?One more point and then I’ll let you go. K. Tarin did post a favorable review (4 out of 5 stars!) for the movie Wild at Heart; a very odd film by David Lynch which is definitely one of his more tepid ventures. K. Tarin just drops off the fucking side of the earth when he says:
“why they release movies in todays age without this option on it to turn
off the sex and or dirty words, I just don’t get it. So 4 stars not 5 just for
that.”
And there’s really nothing else I can say to make that statement funnier. What an angry, weird little man.
