    Norton 2002 causing Internet slowdown

    There is a discussion of this problem going on at dslreports.com. It's a pretty technical chat - a couple of people have really gotten into the issue - but essentially it appears that Symantec "broke" NIS 2002 via LiveUpdate. May have even installed parts of NIS 2004. There are other...

    ST: Voyager Season 1 Seems Overpriced

    What Win Joy said earlier hit right close to the mark for me. I loved TOS and TNG, and enjoyed most of the movies. But the movie prices have always been high as well, and Paramount was pretty damn proud of the movie box set too. When TNG appeared on DVD I was very tempted, but I could never...

    TiVo and Spousal Acceptance Factor

    I've started to believe that my wife now loves her own Tivo more than she loves me. Possibly because I occasionally forget things, and her Tivo does not. :)

    *** Official THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING Discussion Thread

    The Fellowship should have left on the 26th - everyone knows all of the big returns happen the day after Christmas. ;)

    *** Official THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING Discussion Thread

    There is another reason or two, the first being that use of magic by Gandalf obviously was tiring to him. I don't think he could slay an orc army. Second, it was against his mandate - the wizards were to convince and rally the enemies of Sauron, not fight and win their battles for them. Of...

    *** Official THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING Discussion Thread

    Hey Holadem, Try The Silmarillion in the back chapter called "Of The Rings Of Power And The Third Age". It details Dol Guldur and what Gandalf and Saruman did.

    *** Official THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING Discussion Thread

    Yeah, count me as one who doesn't think the timing itself will be fixed in Mordor. In FOTR, Gandalf tells Frodo to head for Bree and he'll meet them there, but he has to go talk to Saruman first. 3 nights in the movie (maybe 4) and the hobbits make Bree - about right. However, it takes Gandalf 5...

    *** Official THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING Discussion Thread

    As for Tolkien's opinion to the LOTR movies, wouldn't he be like, oh, 110 years old or so? Might not be ... terribly useful. (Everyone knows the British get harder to understand the older they get!) He'd probably complain that the soundtrack was too loud, the editing was too quick and the young...

    The Matrix Revolutions (2003)

    I haven't really weighed in before on this, although I have read the entire thread as it was rolling along. (Yes, I really did!) I don't believe that timing, marketing, luck, or critics had much to do with perceived "difficulties" with Reloaded/Revolutions. I think it was, to quote a certain...
