I am going to cancel my cable. What you see above is an unaltered photo from the god-awful Z-Grade film “Evil Breed: The Legend of Samhain“, starring Richard Grieco and a series of porn starlets including Jenna Jameson, Chasey Lain, Ginger Lynn Allen and Taylor Hayes. I’m not here to discuss the merits of this film. I’m here to have my final word on my cable provider Rogers here in Canada and why I am tired of paying this company over 120 dollars a month for “superior picture and sound” digital cable. The fact that I’ve swallowed this bullshit for years now just makes my head want to explode.

The image above takes place at the beginning of the film in the woods. It’s night. The photo is of Chasey Lain (although you’d never know it) from the inside of a tent after hearing a noise outside. Granted, the opening scene to this film is extremely dark (see image below) but this is not the way the film should look, nor is this an isolated incident. There have been many times I’ve paid five to seven dollars to see the same kind of shit happen to the video on demand films (case in point, the new Harry Potter film was so fucking dark I gave up and shut it off).

I’ve checked all the settings on my Sony Trinitron, so it has nothing to do with the monitor.

If this is the kind of quality that Rogers expects me to take after shilling out crazed amounts of money for their service, then harassing me over my answering machine daily when I’m a week late with the payment, they’ve got another thing coming. As soon as I pay this month’s bill, I’m sticking to DVD from now on.
