    I am Ricky Fitts (Wes Bentley's character) from American Beauty with a little bit of Woody Allen mixed in.

    Hitchcock's Rope - widescreen?

    Rope is an 1.37:1 academy ratio movie from 1948. So does anyone have any idea why the DVD has a widescreen banner at the top? Is it MAR or is this just a flub on Universal's part? http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

    Movie Endings you hate and why

    My choice is easy: Rat Race. It's not so much the giving-away-the-money-to-charity thing that I didn't like, it was the Smash Mouth concert. What a complete, total sellout ending. The characters just happen to end up on stage with a crappy, commercial Top 40 group that will be forgotten in...

    Character Actor Extraordinaire (Vol. 1): Kurtwood Smith!

    Kurtwood Smith's Clarence Boddicker is one of my favorite movie villians of all time. Right up there with Darth Vader and Hans Gruber. This guy is the embodiment of what a movie villian should be like. He's absolutely despicable. He doesn't just spout off one-liners, he's a total badass.

    O.K. brace yourself my widescreen bretheren, check this sight out!!!!

    This guy was hilarious. He was opposed to HDTV and told people to write their congressmen telling them that we don't want HDTV with its wide non-square image and high resolution. He hated HDTV because it wasn't 1.33:1. You have to wonder if he was opposed to movie theaters because their screens...

    N64 RAM Expansion pack

    Donkey Kong 64 and Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask require the expansion pack. It was included with Donkey Kong 64. Perfect Dark requires it to play the full game.

    Top Games of the Year

    Gotta agree with Rob on Conker's Bad Fur Day. The game combines two of my loves. Cartoons and mature adult humor. Cutesy cartoon characters getting drunk, vomiting, pissing and shitting? Right up my alley. Bring on the GameCube sequel, Rare!! Other good games I've played this year: Paper...

    Scary Movie 3 Fall 2002

    I think that the Wayans brothers should hand the reigns over to the Zucker brothers for any future installments.

    Silent Hill 2 Restless Dreams(X-box) impressions...

    Just the thought of Silent Hill in 5.1 gives me the creeps. I wonder if there's any possibility of getting an upgraded version of Silent Hill 1 on Xbox or Cube? I would LOVE it if Silent Hill were available on Dreamcast, but that'll never happen. The closest DC has is Resident Evil Code...

    Is Sega still making games for the Dreamcast?

    Yes, I would advise everyone who doesn't already have one to buy a Dreamcast! Heck, buy two of them! It's the best game system you will ever get for $49.99. For the past year, I've been picking cheap 32-bit PS1 games at $19.99, now I'm getting 128-bit DC games for that price and less! Too good...

    Which FF for PS1?

    Ummm... Chrono Cross is the PS sequel. Chrono Trigger is the SNES original. Morgan was correct.

    Is How High the worst movie ever?

    Manos: The Hands of Fate - The movie so bad that three cast members committed suicide after making it!

    OAR vs P&S: A Helpful Analogy for J6P?

    My analogy of choice (which I came up with) is this. Suppose you're at a museum, and you're taking a photo of DaVinci's The Last Supper (a very wide painting), would you get close up so that you can only see the middle of the painting, or stand back so that you can fit the whole thing in the...

    Shenmue control?

    I haven't played Shenmue yet, (it's a christmas present) but the controls sound pretty straightforward. The manual says: "Press up to have Ryo move forwards, left/right to move left/right or down to turn around. Tap left or right to have Ryo take one step to the left or right. Press and...

    Gamecube, buy now or wait?

    I'd say buy a Dreamcast and about 10 or 15 games. Dreamcast has the original Crazy Taxi and Crazy Taxi 2 (which is on no other system). The GameCube (as well as PS2) version is just a port and is probably not as good.

    Top 10 Videogame disappointments

    Just out of curiousity, what was so terrible about the Sega CD? I never played one, but had the impression that it was a decent system. Are you guys talking about all the games or just the FMV games?

    I finally got of the fence and bought a new system

    I don't think I've ever owned more than 30 games for any system. I probably had close to 30 at one time for NES, and probably about 20 for SNES.

    I finally got of the fence and bought a new system

    Why do you need a new system if you have a Dreamcast? Sure there aren't any more games coming out, but who buys more than 20 - 25 games for a system anyway?
