    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    That is the easy answer. They showed her hand on the eject lever. Frankly, I almost wish she really was dead. I'm sick to death of "self loathing Starbuck". Not too mention I'm sick of "boxing" episodes, "racist doctor" episodes, and "who's cheating with who's wife/husband" episodes. For...

    Maybe I'm mistaken, but are sure you're not talking about "IMDB.COM"? (Internet Movie Data Base)

    The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

    If it's old, then why does it directly address the NLC and PJ situation with this particular line: "As Lord of the Rings fans mounted a protest following word that New Line had dropped Peter Jackson from consideration as director of The Hobbit and another Lord of the Rings prequel, producer...

    The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

    Tolkien himself said that the Hobbit was a childrens story. But one only has to read the two books to realize that striking difference. Again, if the Hobbit is done as a live-action feature, then I believe it should be done in the same manner as Jackson's LOTR's films. There are already...

    The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

    No... The one glaring weakness of "The Hobbit" is that it's a "kid's" story. But as long as Jackson (or whomever) keeps the film on the level and style as the LOTR's films, then it should be quite good.

    Eragon trailer *A better dragonheart*

    True. But it had damn good music. I read Dragon Riders of Pern when I was kid. But I really don't remember anything about it. I suppose it's a rip-off of LOTR's. But it's an OLD rip-off of LOTR's and if anything, Star Wars ripped DRoP off. The first book was written in 1968.

    Serenity (2005)

    Well I didn't take notes. So I can't be really specific. But things like control panels were different. The front area of the Bridge looked different. The Galley didn't look quite right (were the "zig-zag" stairs leading into both ends of the Galley missing?). Just little minor things like...

    Serenity (2005)

    Brian, now that you've seen the film, you should check out the series. Pretty much most of your issues with the film, are resolved if you're familiar with the series. The large ensemble cast works very well in the series. And that's one of the problems that many fans of the show were...

    Since I'm obviously hopelessly optimistic about Firefly's/Serenity's future, I thought I'd share this link for those of you here are of a similar thought: http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=14225

    Well Zak and Robert, you might have a point if those were Serenity's final BO numbers, but they're not. Like I said, Serenity is currently number 1 in the UK. And domestically the film isn't leaving the theater quite yet. You guys claim to be fans of the show and film, yet you're so...

    Serenity (2005)

    Again, we haven't seen the DVD numbers. And the movie is still playing. It's a bit too early to be counting the show out yet. Not to mention that it's my understanding that the existing DVD boxset is currently doing quite well. It's as if the film is a trailer for the TV series. Oh yeah...

    Serenity (2005)

    Yes, I agree Phil. Some people want to bash Serenity for the lower than expected box office. But the truth is, NO movie is doing well right now. Like you, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the DVD set will offset everything enough to merit another film. On a side note, I saw Adam Baldwin...

    Serenity (2005)

    Yes. In fact, look at some of the more remote places in Asia or the Middle East. Those places easily look like they did 400 years ago. So, I think you could look at the outer planets at being similar, in the Firefly universe.

    Serenity (2005)

    Everyone I know who has seen the movie without seeing the original series on TV or DVD, have also checked out the DVD's either renting or buying them. One person told me they were having a hard time trying to buy it, because the stores he checked said they kept selling out. But, like you...

    It's Official: HD DVD and Blu-ray Can Limit High Resolution To HDMI Only

    As I've said before, HDMI isn't the problem. The problem is in older HDTV's that don't have an HDMI or DVI/HDCP complient input. So if there are going to be law suits, then it should be towards the manufacturer of these older sets that don't offer some sort of upgrade or modification on these sets.

    der untergang DOWNFALL

    Exactly. Hitler didn't become the master of the German people by being a monster. He was afterall, human. Which is why this film works so well. We see Hitler, the person. There's a quote that goes: "It's hard to recognize the Devil, when he's putting his hand on your shoulder." I want to say...

    der untergang DOWNFALL

    Probably the best example I can think of, of a bad portrayal of Hitler by an actor is, Hitler: The Rise of Evil. A "Made for TV movie" in 2003. Hitler was played by Robert Carlyle (I knew him from playing the deadbeat, drunken Dad in "Angela's Ashes"). Carlyle wasn't even as bad as watching an...

    LOL! Looking back, it is hard to imagine that not only we could watch those TV's, but we actually thought they had good pictures. I would also imagine that once HD video players are going strong (after the end of the format war), that we'll all be wondering how we every watched DVD players that...

    Lessons learned on DVD, What they should NOT do on Blueray & HD-DVD?

    It's a thread about preference's. And mine are just as relevant, or irrelevant as yours.

    Okay, that's a fair question. My guess is that as HDMI takes hold, we will see more inputs. Of course it may depend on the price of the TV.

    It's Official: HD DVD and Blu-ray Can Limit High Resolution To HDMI Only

    Then again I have to ask, how do you manage to get the DVD into the player? I don't know if you have a spinal cord injury or not. But in either case, I hardly see how that's relevant to the topic at hand.
