I bought a couple of Black Widow's GGG editons recently.one of which I reviewed here (Attenition! Cum-Shower Warning!), the other (Have You Swallowed Today?) I can barely bring myself to watch, so bad is the picture quality. Grainy, garish images laden with the artifacts of excessive compression do not make an easy viewing experience. NB This, of course, makes absolutely no reference to the contents of the movie itself! The general production of both discs leaves a lot to be desired - the menus look amateurish, there are no extras, just the opening titles presented as a trailer! Not that much more than trailers were ever offered on the German editions, but at least they have improved their picture quality over time - Have You Swallowed Today? by contrast suffers badly from being hideously over-compressed, using only 3.42GB of a DVD-5 disc for a movie that's only just over 1 hour long! DVD-9 mean anything to you? One could argue that you get what you pay for (the above discs being on offer at around the $16 mark) but given the generally decent quality and the ease with which at least semi-pro standards in DVD authoring can be achieved, I have to warn fellow readers of the poor quality of Have You Swallowed Today? in particular. I wonder if this is indicative of the standard of the other GGG discs from Black Widow? Are they being edited? [Link] |

| Gabriel Nine Senior Member Firecracker 1273 Posts 8/01 | Posted - Mar 26 2006 : 10:00AM In a nutshell, I would simply like to make fellow readers aware about this movie, and ask the company concerned what's up with their product. [Link] |
| Wodgers Member 414 Posts 7/04 | Posted - Mar 26 2006 : 11:40AM Several Shiva/Night Trips editions of Evil Angel or RLD material come to mind. If you live in Europe, where (correct me if i'm wrong), most tv sets can read both pal & ntsc format, purchasing (porn) discs that have been transferred is definitely not recommended. [Link] |

| Oral B. Member 349 Posts 4/05 | Posted - Mar 26 2006 : 3:31PM Very poor quality abounds in every movie I've seen. It would be nice to have a list of the movies that arent ruined with poor picture quality. I dont blame anyone for downloading the stuff. It's the same video quality when you download it off the web anyway. [Link] |

| Gabriel Nine Senior Member Firecracker 1273 Posts 8/01 | Posted - Mar 28 2006 : 11:51AM Interesting to note the latest NTSC GGG discs do not have Black Widow's name on them at all, so it does make me wonder about their provenance. I will avoid further speculation. I've watched the GGG series on and off for several years and while the picture quality on the PAL versions, either on VHS and later on DVD, is inconsistent it's still better than these NTSC versions. I just find it unfortunate that while they continue to offer potentially interesting and outrageous material, GGG movies still have the tendency to inhabit the world of the back-alley porn rip-off.

| BenSanderson Member 55 Posts 1/06 | Posted - Mar 29 2006 : 1:34PM Sorry I missed your early response, I'm a too fast reader sometimes. As for the price, yes erodvd.nl are more expensive but a lot of the time they have discounts on JT/GGG/666 and they only cost 20 euro. Still more expensive of course. I personally don't buy them a lot anymore ever since Betty retired. For me she was the ultimate JT girls but I digress. [/quote] Betty was incredible! Do they make "Betty Extrem" on DVD? My VHS copy is worn out. [Link] |

The website is down, but here is an email address of Ric I suppose: [Link] |
