screener

A pre vhs tape, sent to rental stores, and various other places for promotional use. A screener is supplied on a vhs tape, and is usually in a 4:3 (fullscreen) a/r, although letterboxed screeners are sometimes found. The main draw back is a "ticker" (a message that scrolls past at the bottom of the screen, with the copyright and anti-copy telephone number). Also, if the tape contains any serial numbers, or any other markings that could lead to the source of the tape, these will have to be blocked, usually with a black mark over the section. This is sometimes only for a few seconds, but unfortunately on some copies this will last for the entire film, and some can be quite big. Depending on the equipment used, screener quality can range from excellent if done from a MASTER copy, to very poor if done on an old VHS recorder thru poor capture equipment on a copied tape. Most screeners are transferred to VCD, but a few attempts at SVCD have occured, some looking better than others.

(Sometimes abbreviated with SCR, DVDSCR.)

the farm

The CIA training ground at Camp Peary, where recruits are trained to become field officers (American Spies). Lots of cool and sneaky skills are taught and practiced there. Also the place where most CIA officers get married.

After I graduated from the farm, I became a Field Officer for the CIA. I then spent 2 years overseas recruiting agents for the CIA. Then I met my wife at a CIA social and we got married at the farm. It was beautiful. Too bad our parents weren't aloud to attend.

KO

Stands for a "Kill of Opportunity."
Could be a noun describing the target, or a verb describing how to kill the target.

When both Sadam Hussein and Usama Bin Laden arrive for the exchange, sniper teams 1 and 2 will take both targets out. Consider any other armed associates at the scene a KO.

We can't risk him getting captured. I don't want to go to jail while he goes free just because that child-raping pos cried police brutality. No, if any of us get a clean shot, we KO his ass! Understood?

wire

An electronic device worn on a person's body that records sounds and transmits the playback to a remote receiver. The wire is usually hidden on someone who is trying to get other people to incriminate themselves in conversation. There are usually cops listening to the receiver close by, and once they hear the incriminating evidence, they can run in and make arrests.

Sometimes the "wire" is just a tape recorder (does not transmit).

Wired person: So Frankie, I heard you were behind the cop killing. Am I right?
Frankie: Why do you care? You bugged or something?
Wired person: Naw Frankie, I'm not wired. I'm just curious. Come on Frankie! You can trust me. I won't tell nobody.
Frankie: Alright, alright! Me and Big Tony waited for him at his house. Then when he came home, we gave him a blanket party. But Tony got a little rough and accidentally knocked the mofo's brains out, so we had to bury his body off the freeway by the old farm.
Cops: Police! Freeze sucker! Frank Footer, you're under arrest for the murder of a police officer!
Frankie: Mother fucker! You're wearing a wire? You set me up!
Wired person: Sorry Frankie, I had no choice. (To cop) So now that I served up Frankie, the DA will drop all the charges against me right? I'm free right?
Cop: Ha! Not exactly, since some of your charges fall under Federal jurisdiction. You'll still be spending the next 10 to 20 in a Federal Prison.
Wired person: What?!?!
Cop: Hahaha, don't drop the soap. Take them both away!
