    Commentary on DVD commentaries

    Another great commentary is the one on Forbidden Zone with Richard Elfman and one of the stars. They have a great time talking about the movie.

    5th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge

    Sunday TCM had a run of three horror movies. I saw two. First was 12)Earth Vs. the Flying Saucers. I had forgotten that I had seen this one already, apparently with good reason. Now my only problem is trying to forget this again. After that was 13)The Thing From Another World. This movie...

    5th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge

    Yay!! Finally I have seen 11)Jason X and am completly finished the Jason series. I have to say that I liked this one the most out of all the series. The sarge who takes the doomsayer seriously (unheard of in horror movies) was wonderful. And who can forget the wonderful diversionary tatic? "Hey...

    Whatever Happened to Everyone?

    Myself, I was wondering where JulieK went. I miss all the old Cthulhu themed threads.

    5th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge

    You are right, I got confused. :b Did I mention that these are all starting to blur together? :) As it was, an executive decision was made that Freddy Vs. Jason occurs chronologically earlier than Jason X, which is up next, so it does appear slightly out of order. That, plus the true horror...

    5th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge

    Yes, it is entirely possible that you will see *SPOILERS* in this post. It is eternally Friday the 13th at my house. I saw 8)Friday the 13th: Part 7: where we learn that Crystal Lake is *not* the land-locked waterway I always thought it was, and that it is located on the East Coast somewhere...

    5th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge

    Well, I viewed 8)Friday the 13: Part 7 last night. Honestly, I think these movies are starting to blur together in my mind too much. Anyway, this movie is different than the others in that it had featured a psychic kid with an over-controlling psychiatrist with hidden objectives (that I think...

    5th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge

    7)Friday the 13: Part 6: The town has changed it's name, but that can't stop the resurrected Jason! The sheriff completely ignores the looney who dug him up in the first place, and a re-occurring character manages to survive three movies. I was (minorly) impressed. I convinced my spouse that...

    5th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge

    I decided to join the challenge this year. :) So far this month I've seen: 1)Shaun of the Dead: which I thought of as an extremely good old-school zombie movie. I have to admit, I mainly like this movie as my friends and I would probably act in similar ways should this ever happen...

    Why does Best Buy want my phone number?

    When spouse and I signed up for the card, we asked if we *had* to fill out the information form. The store said no so we just have generic cards. I would think that the opportunity would also be there for a generic card for any store that doesn't require a membership.

    DVD Pirate Movies

    And what about Judy Garland's The Pirate (1948). Not currently on dvd, but worth including.

    Don't forget Rankin-Bass' The Hobbit. A much better adaptation than Lord of the Rings, IMHO.

    Annoying Cartoon Network logo...

    I really hate those logos. Thye make me mot want to watch tv at all. It seems every channel is doing some type of banner ad at the bottom of the first few seconds of every show. Didn't they recently shorten each show's running time so they could run more commercials? Why can't they limit the...

    Future Events Such as These Will Affect YOU in the Future: The Death of Theaters

    Sorry, I agree with Holadem on this one. People can afford $7-$10 to see a movie in the theater every so often far more readily than they can afford the equipment to download and view a movie in their homes. When HDTV becomes the only format broadcast, I expect a severe backlash from the...

    Netflix: Don't wait for widescreen Nemo, get fullscreen instead!

    Aaron: Netflix and many other online rental sites split two-disc sets up and people usually have to rent both discs. Yes, it's annoying, but rental sites have found that this increases their profits. If you have two movies on one disc, that's a dfferent story and is treated like one rental. This...

    Costco: The Only Company Wal-Mart Fears

    Milk is another great deal at my local Costco. It's starting to hit $4 a galleon for 2% at my local Safeway...while I can go to Costco, buy two galleons for $3.89. A case of name-brand soda is about the same, though if I choose off-brand I get an even deeper discount. Yes, some things are...

    Video Business article: "Universal tightens up screener policy"

    I don't like the 48-hour dvds, but maybe they could be a compromise for the studios that send out screeners of any kind, instead of messing with the mastering of the film itself. Wait a minute, that make sense. I'll withdraw the suggestion.

    Musicals appropriate for 5 y/o

    You could also try Bye Bye Birdie. Don't know if the Dick Van Dyke version is on dvd yet, but the songs are excellent and engaging. I would definitely get the Dick Van Dyke/Ann-Margaret version if available, but the remake shouldn't be too atrotious.

    The "TV on DVD conference"....

    To say that the studios are treating tv similar to movies in terms of overral sales numbers is intriguing....does this mean that someday, somewhere, someone will buy the 1 millienth box of TMTMS:S1 and Fox will then say "Hey! There's enough interst in the show now to put out S2!"? Or are the...

    Upon news of Universal's "An American Tail" series, technical feedback for the studio

    Though I don't usually go for double dips, I would not mind buying Babe again, even if the only change from the original disc was the OAR format. Universal is not getting my money for *An Amerincan Tail *An American Tail 2: Fieval Goes West *Balto *Land Before TIme until these are...

    The "TV on DVD conference"....

    I don't think the Artisan exec wasn't getting the full picture when he insisted that the children's market is still a VHS one. I know I buy DVDs of the Wiggles because I know that if I have to play it one zillion times, I would have to buy three VHS tapes. That ain't a happenin". My budget is...

    Opinions on SF Book Club

    I have used them in the past, mainly for the compilations. They are amazingly similar to CH. Haven't joined in a while so I coudn't tell you about shipping, etc. They do have a website, you might be able to find more info out there.

    ticketmaster to auction best seats soon.

    "Convenience Fees" I can kind of see. But $10 tickets that wind up costing $16.50? That's over 1/2 the price of the ticket in fees alone. Not very convenient, really.
