Spider-Jesus? That could certainly be a different interpretation. "Don't let your spidey senses tingle with worry. You trust in your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man; trust also in me."

An a Dwan, an a too, an a twee, an a for...

Thinking the next reveal will be "U". Gotta drag this out, right?

Ah, yes... the infamous "Get the cheese to sickbay!" episode. I may have actually stopped watching Voyager after one, can't quite remember. I did check in sporadically over its run but not much improved, so I sat out almost the entire show until I got the DVD box set... and suffered my way...

This gives me a great idea… what if I got my girlfriend a “standard edition” engagement ring? You know, without all the superfluous “extras” like diamonds and gold. She’ll love it! “Crom!”

You cited some excellent counter examples that exemplify stories involving actual drama and stakes, "Khan" in particular because Nimoy's future involvement in Trek was assumed to be nil. When viewed in 1982, this movie stunned because it personally affected Kirk, his crew, and the audience...

Looks like the thread title may need to be Best Buy to Exit Physical Media Business in 2024.

I wanted to see what one of Ripley's pores would look like if we had a 100000K Blu-ray. I was not disappointed by the stunning clarity of the resulting image harvest taken from original 35mm elements and not tampered with in any way. And now I'm mad at the current 4K release! I mean, the ALIENS...

Stickers are stupid, but then there's Goo Gone! Love that stuff. I'm not a marketing genius. Does the absence or presence of a sticker extolling the virtue of, say, the long-awaited 4K UHD Blu-ray of The Abyss sway my decision to keep my pantyhose on and snap it up? Do these stickers work on...
