Some of you may have noticed that Amazon.com links have started to appear on some reviews. This is in response to a few emails I have gotten of people wanting to buy some of the films. Although I don’t sell any of the films, some of them are on Amazon, so I decided to add links to those products. And, yes, it does involve the Amazon.com referral system, so if yo order off of the links, I get money. As DVDs are super-cheap, I barely make anything off of them, but it all adds up. I am not going to be one of those sites that turns every sentence into an Amazon.com product link, or do updates on the blog just to highlight deals on Amazon.com. But there will probably be a few updates on the blog eventually that make use of the Amazon.com links, but you won’t be saturated in them. Many of the films we do review are not on Amazon.com and some have not had a legitimate release in 25 years, so don’t expect links to show up there. TarsTarkas.NET is in the black, and even if we weren’t I would not be begging for money. I do this because I like it, and as it pays for itself that is just an added bonus. I just wanted to make everyone aware of what those links were (and I promise a better link picture for the reviews once I get the computer with Photoshop on it out of storage) and why they are here. If you really want to buy stuff using our Amazon.com referral stuff, you can use the link on the right. But I know the economy stinks, so be responsible and don’t buy lots of random crap.

The new review is Bratz Babyz, the compelling modern day soap opera about how America is doomed and will crumple upon its own excess. Or something. Whatever it is, it’s terrible, and we got lots of pictures and movie clips so you can suffer as well. Take that, suckerz! Read it today!

It’s time we mention some of the latest sites to get our interest here at TarsTarkas.NET. So here are a few shoutouts, because you got to shout it out, or so the commercials tell me.

JCOMReader – blog going over the finer points of ERB’s Barsoom series, and related books such as the Venus books, the Moon books, and comics referencing such. Fun to get reacquainted with the novels before the eventual films come out and everyone pretends they’ve been fans since they were tykes.

Karen Mok’s official blog – Linking because we are Karen Mok obsessed, in case you haven’t figured it out.

Roast Pork Sliced From A Rusty Cleaver – HKMDB News’s other site set up when the first had bandwidth problems.

Hollywood Roaster – Awesomely funny blog dealing with script pitches, producers, and the general cluelessness of Hollywood. Although it is satire, you can bet that one of their ridiculous film pitches will become an actual film in 2010.

Permission to Kill – Spy film reviews, including the huge glut of Eurospy and similar James Bond ripoff films that were pumped out by the hundreds from Europe in the 1960s. Also has a large collection of spy pulp book covers for added flavor.

Vintage Ninja – Ninjas and stuff, kicking it old school in films. The author is a bit obsessed with Asian women’s legs and stuff, but the world needs more ninja movie sites.

Go-Go Godzilla – Blog of Godzilla collectibles, lots of cool stuff you never knew existed and now you must track down or die.

Dementia 13 – A Spanish-language bad movie site, complete with lots of pictures and a wide variety of movies reviewed.

The new review is The Merciful Buddha, the story of a monkey stone mountain god guy who wanders off one day, a girl who is a secret fairy, another dude who is raised by criminals who killed his parents, a horse with a human head, an immortal, rainbow riding, earthquakes, giant monkeys, tiger attacks, and all sorts of crazy Taiwanese stuff. Plenty of pictures and even a clip (please forgive the audio problems, it took a miracle to even encode the clip for some unknown reason) Read it today!
