    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Looney Tunes - Back In Action.

    What makes this movie so brilliant are the many "homages" to the classic looney tune cartoons. Everyone from the sheep-watching dog, to Michigan J. Frog, to Pepe Le Pew, is depicted doing exactly what you would expect, totally in keeping with their long-standing cartoon legacy, but often with...

    Mythbusters: My Favorite New Show

    What was the final verdict on the question of whether it is better to walk versus run through the rain? It sounded like they were leaning towards walking being better, but I missed the ending.

    Carol Burnett on TV Land

    Great news! Thanks! I am a HUGE fan of the Carol Burnett Show. I deleted nearly everything on my Tivo Saturday night and recorded about 30 episodes on Sunday. I hope I caught at least these two vignettes: 1. "Jowls", their spoof of "Jaws" 2. "The NonViolent Theater" presents the "Plot...

    The Simpsons 1/11/04

    My favorite part was when Frink's robot took the vanquished robot, ate it, and then pooped out a trophy for itself.

    01/09/04 Third Watch

    I loved the long take shots too! I'm still at a loss to explain how they did the opening shot, with the cops in the squad car. They were able to pan the camera from the drivers window, to the front (looking at both passengers), to the passenger window, and back again, all while the car was...

    *** Official PETER PAN Review Thread

    I just saw it in a sneak and enjoyed it. I'm not Pan purist, and I've never read the book or seen the play, but it was a decent movie. My kids (10 and 8) absolutely loved it. Jason Isaacs was really good as Hook, and the young lady who played Wendy did an excellent job of conveying the...

    Who sticks around for the end credits?

    I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this yet: I'll stay as long as my bladder holds out. I'm just one of those people who, no matter how many times I go before the movie starts, I'm getting anxious towards the end. They really complicate matters in movies like Titanic that are long AND...

    Rainbow 6 question

    I have noticed on the "Terrorist Hunt" missions the enemies are definitely not spawning in the same place.

    Star Wars:ANH When the trash compactor starts up, and Han Says: "One thing's for sure, we're all going to be a lot thinner!" Man, I hate the line way more than Luke's whiny Toshii station line!

    Crimson Skies system link -- only 2 per Xbox?

    No, that is the limit. You can play 2 player per box on xbox live/system link, but 4 player on ONE xbox (no link).

    Friends - the Final Season 9/25/03 (season premier)

    Don't forget that Matt LeBlanc has already signed for his own spinoff show, AS JOEY, so I think it is highly unlikely that he and Rachel will end up together. somehow, they are going to have to explain him leaving and going out on his own.

    Pic of the new Xbox Live Dashboard, pretty cool.

    dangit, now I just HAVE to go wireless! Right now I'm running a cable across my living room, but only when I want to play LIVE. To take advantage of Live Aware, I would have to be connected all the time. Somebody please recommend the cheapest way for me to go wireless for my Xbox!!

    Directors Best title sequence in a movie?

    I really liked the title sequence to "InnerSpace". There's a lot of crystaline structures and light flashes. As the camera moves around, you get the feeling you are already inside a group of nerve cells or some other structure in the human body, but then the camera pans all the way out, and...

    Best use of music in a movie

    The musical selections in Forrest Gump. I really like how they picked songs that were: a.) from the time period represented in the movie, and b.) very pertinent to what was going on in the movie. Some examples are "Fortunate Son" as he heads off to Vietnam, "Sweet Home Alabama", as...

    Peacekeepers on USA

    I liked it, but didn't get much of a "Western" feel from it. While I can't put my finger on it, some of the dialogue seems anachronistic and inappropriate for that time period.
