    What happened to bumpers?

    Remember cars made before 1985? The had bumpers on the front and back end. They were super-useful. There are times in even the best driver's life where you bump something or are bumped. No biggie back in the old days, but now that bumpers are gone and the front and back end are just big pieces...

    You had me at bored

    Was anyone else completely tired of the Cruise/Holmes thing at its first mention? Is anything less worthy of airtime and bandwidth?

    The Audio Commentary Bible

    I love audio commentaries and try to listen to all of them, but am often frustrated by them. It seems that many participants doing commentaries are either new to it, or don't really understand what an audience expects or appreciates in a commentary. So I submit to them (and you).... The Audio...

    Australians and the perfect American accent

    Have you ever noticed the uncanny ability of Australian actors to nail the US accent? Hell, I thought Rachel Griffiths and Judy Davis WERE from the US until I discovered otherwise. I was convinced that Anthony Lapaglia was from New York until I saw Lantana and even then I thought he was just...

    Movie one-liners...I need your help!

    I am doing the marquee sign at a video store and need great one liners for the board. What are some of your favorites? A few criteria: 1) They have to be 27 characters (including spaces) or less. 2) They need to be recognizable from a specific film (for example, "I'm getting too old for...

    Trading Spaces- designer Frank must be stopped!

    I mean, have ANY of his designs turned out to be something you would live in? As soon as he says he wants to introduce "whimsy" you know the homeowner is screwed- it usually means painting dopey phrases on the walls or bad half-assed paintings. Ugh! He has turned into the designer that I love to...

    PDAs and Internet Cafes- do I need my laptop anymore?

    Hello all, I will be moving abroad soon (to Japan) and my poor old laptop is about dead. As I only use it for internet, email, and some word processing (like a journal), do I need to buy another computer or could I get away with a PDA or palmtop computer? As phone connections are expensive...

    Rosemary's Baby- the ultimate pregnant lady freak-out!

    My long-time roomate has always loved Rosemary's Baby until she recently became pregnant. Now the mere suggestion of watching my DVD of the film makes her shudder. While working at a video store I have recommended it to customers and only get shot down when a pregnancy is involved. But I thought...

    Cable channel names are completely irrelevent

    Since when did the Comedy channel become the Game Show network? Battlebots is not comedy. Shouldn't this be on Sci-fi or something? Now this "Beat The Geeks" thing in addition to "Let's Bowl" (sports, not comedy) and "Win Ben Stein's Money". And what about TNN showing Star Trek? The...

    The new Basic Instinct- Camille Paglia commentary track!

    I can't think of a better extra to any DVD release this year than the Camille Paglia commentary for Basic Instinct. Tracks with filmmakers are great (and insightful) but a track with a passionate fan always has a certain energy and excitement that filmmaker commentaries (focusing on anecdotes...

    Blue Velvet SE?

    I was looking at the "in production" section of a video retailer magazine and they had Blue Velvet listed as a SE for release in 2002. The blurb mentioned original featurettes, but I was wondering if anyone knows of deleted scenes from the film or has any further info on what might be included...
