    With "The Simpsons" movie now in production....

    "Secondly, how hard is it for them to figure out a way to turn on the subtitles??? " From an episode menu, choose select language, then choose which audio you want, then the menu flips and you select what subtitles you want. At least, that's the way the past few seasons have worked...

    Problems with DVDPlanet

    I've never had the slightest problem with DVD Planet. I used to use DVD Empire, but they developed a nasty habit of charging my credit card twice for every order, and claimed it was my bank's problem, not theirs, despite the fact that I never had that problem anywhere else. I hope this new...

    I'm no expert on the band or anything, but I believe Moe Tucker and Maureen Tucker are the same person. Maureen "Moe" Tucker web page

    What would keep you from buying into the HD formats?

    1. The internet connection issue - I don't have one at home and won't be getting one under any circumstances, so no matter how good it looks, if it requires it I won't get it. 2. No or slight improvement over what I already have. My Sony HDTV (with HDMI) arrived just this week, accompanied by...

    "REBECCA" - Hitchcock classic why not at Warner?

    The Criterion versions of 39 Steps and The Lady Vanishes are not OOP. I just ordered both from DVD Planet.

    DVDs that contain lengthy docs. about stars or directors?

    Criterion's John Cassavetes box set includes as a separate disc a 3 hour, 20 minute JC doc called A Constant Forge. It is quite good. It's been awhile since I've seen it and I can't remember how long it is, but I recall being impressed with a documentary on the life of Warren Oates included...

    Sony's BROWN BUNNY DVD - Why Superbit?

    For comparison sake, the blow job scene in Pink Flamingos is a LOT more explicit than the blow job scene in The Brown Bunny. Not even a hint of bush in BB.

    Reasons for Enterprise Cancellation

    I couldn't agree more. I was so pissed off that I'd listened to people around here about how crappy Enterprise was and put off trying it until the summer before season 3. I learned my lesson. I can't believe worthless crap like Babylon 5 is actually more popular.

    Which TV series do you plan to buy the whole series?

    All of the Star Trek series (except the cartoon) (well, maybe) Simpsons Farscape Futurama (actually, I already have all those) Twin Peaks (and I damn well better be able to one day) The Prisoner The Addams Family (also damn well better etc.)

    Dennis Miller Cancelled

    I hope he takes this opportunity to get the psychiatric help he so obviously needs.

    The Star Trek Enterprise appreciation and Season 4 discussion thread (this one's for the fans).

    I still haven't forgiven them for implying they can travel faster than light. As if! And, even if people could be turned into energy and then reconstituted as people at some distant point, obviously you'd need some sort of reception equipment. They couldn't just materialize OUT OF THIN AIR...

    R. I. P Johnnie Cochran

    JC actually made my life a little easier. After a woman was killed crossing an eight lane road to get to work at the local megamall because the mall owners wouldn't let public transportation onto their property, he took the case, got tons of money for the woman's kid, and now I don't have to...

    The Star Trek Enterprise appreciation and Season 4 discussion thread (this one's for the fans).

    I knew I was in the evil universe. I KNEW IT!!

    I forgot how bad Voyager was...

    Actually, the past personalities were hosted by other station people - Jadzia was still Jadzia the whole time. Not saying that Ferrell was/is a great actor, but you can't fault her for not doing something she wasn't supposed to o.
