Ernest, thanks for your insightful thoughts. They were a pleasure to read. AI. is a favorite of mine, for many reasons. My thoughts about the movie parallel Ernest's quite a ways. However I agree with Alex, that the David we see after he first closes his eyes in the last act. may no...

Mikel, I Agree with you about Millennium, the movie is a real mess. but John Varly, the Author of the novel, (and short story it was based on), also wrote the screenplay. So he's as much to blame for it as anyone else is. IMHO it's his weakest work as a novelist. Read "Steel Beach" to see...

I second Jefferson's mention of the Gilliam trilogy. Would also mention the Hannibal Lecter Trilogy, (with Hopkins). Although actually five films now I'll also mention Kevin Smith's New Jersey "trilogy." Comprised by Clerks, Mallrats, and Chasing Amy. (We can just pretend that Dogma and...

How about a remake of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" They could get Mel Gibson, and for the climax of the movie they could... Ah skip it. :D Actually there's been some not bad remakes of foreign films recently, The Ring and Vanilla Sky being two. I'm sure there is plenty of foreign...

Great Thread! Many I would have mentioned have been brought up many times all ready. I would also add: A.I. - The New York Scene, and the Bridge scene. The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen - The Dance scene with Uma Thurman. The Big Blue - Transition from Black and White to Colour. Blue...

Paul, Did BMO inform you where this car loan was? If you contact the loan holder they should be able to correct the info with Equifax, and provide you with something in writing explaining that you have no debt with them. This should be sufficient for BMO. There are a couple possibilities...

Paul, Used to live in Kamloops and have made the trip to Calgary on occasion. $330.00 isn't bad. The last time I flew at Christmas it was about $500.00 for the same trip. Air Canada / Jazz uses Central Mountain Air for this route. Small 18 seat twin turboprop Beech craft. If you get...

Well, Just about anything by Gilliam including 12 Monkeys, the Adventures of Baron Munchausen and Brazil. Of recent movies I'm surprized Vanilla Sky didn't get more buzz. Not being a huge fan of Tom Cruise, I think It's his best work so far. I thought the movie was well crafted. I...

My two cents, (one cent U.S.)... 1. Lawrence of Arabia 2. the Fellowship of the Ring 3. the Fifth Element 4. the Phantom Menace 5. Moulin Rouge Honorable Mention: Shrek S.

Patrick, Thanks for the tip on Metropolis. I had no idea that a restoration was in progress. You just made my day. S.

Just saw a Triple feature disk at the local Wal-Mart that had "Nosferatu", "Phantom of the Opera", and "Metropolis" on it. Anyone know anything about the quality of these disks? Thanks, S.

1. The first disk you should pick up should be a Calibration Disk like Avia or Video Essentials. You can put the best looking or sounding movie in your player but if your system isn't set up properly, you'll never know just how good the source material is. 2. Lawrence of Arabia - If you...

from the perspective of an over-underachiever I offer these words of wisdom: "The tallest blade of grass is the first to be Cut by the lawnmower!" S.

Well, It depends on what your into... If it's skiing there's always Sun Peaks at Kamloops or if you want to travel a little further Panorama at Invermere, but if your goin to travel you might as well just go to Lake Louise and ski with the big boys. If you've really got to stick close to home...

If I were to guess as to the cause of LOTR Hysteria, I think a big part of it is that people familiar with the story have seen enough of it to know that the whole thing will be something truly grand. Fellowship is not the best movie ever made, but when the three Movies are completed and viewed...

Geez, I always thought this guy was a troll. a troll with a lot of times on his hands, but just a troll. You mean to say he was serious, and not just having us on? S.

The second viewing for me was much better than the first. When I saw FOTR on opening night I left the theatre not quite knowing what to think. Clearly I had just seen something grand, but pleasure at witnessing the scale of the film had been tempered by my constantly comparing it to the book...

I believe the Drive through the mountains at the beginning is the road out to "Many Glacier Lodge," In Glacier National Park, Montana. I used to work for company that owns the Hotel years ago, and spend many drunken nights at bush parties with the staff, who insisted that's where that stretch...

For me it always comes back to John Hustons portrayal of Noah Cross in Chinatown. You just wont see many performances that convincing. S.

Hmm... Gattaca, Cube, (Just saw it again the other night on showcase) The Quiet Earth The Big Blue, (Pretty much a dead horse issue at HTF) Snow Falling on Cedars Brazil, (I think most Gilliam is underrated) The Fisher King The Adventures of Baron Munchausen Flesh and Blood...

Andrew, Check this site out: Link Removed There is a multimedia, (shockwave), tutorial covering the subject. Cheers, S.

Gerald Murphy does the Narration, but it's sparse. This is a radio dramatization, similar to the Star Wars ones done by NPR, (only better). The story is told by the characters in the drama, by their conversations and actions. Narration is mainly there for filling in back story, and setting the...

I had a worn out copy on VHS, but I haven't seen it in a while and seem to have lost the tape. During the last FOX chat someone asked Peter Stadden about it, I believe he was going to check to see if it's still Fox's title. I would sure like to see this on DVD. S. [Edited last by Scott...

Go here for some info on this: http://members.accessus.net/~090/awh/16x9.html It's not quite what your looking for, but contains information on how to do this through your TV's Service Mode. S.

I use one of these doo-hickeys: Link Removed (Sunwave SRC-2000) It's got lots of cool features and has customizable screen layout / button size and labels. Programing's an cinch, but access to Macro's is a pain, and the touch-screen placement on the remote is a bit awkward. All things...
