Some I love not mentioned yet: Spike Jonze Hal Hartley Baz Luhrmann Guillermo del Toro Jean-Pierre Jeunet (looking very forward to Big Bug this year)

I would also suggest checking out Kanopy as an alternate to FilmStruck. They also carry a good variety of Criterion and independent titles, and many public libraries have arrangements with them, allowing their patrons to access the service for free via their library accounts. There are some...

I'm hoping to attend the chat, but Tuesday is my son's baseball night, so time will be very limited. Just in case I can't make it, would someone here be willing to bring up Twice Upon a Time? It was released on VHS and Laserdisc, but has since been out of print. Given the some of the...

Terry St- Wasn't actually complaining about the lack of realism in Mars Attacks. I just think the film would have benefited more from a 50's scifi, George Pal film look. Burton had claimed that that was what he had really wanted but they couldn't perfect the stop motion effects, so they went...

Sorry about that...misread last week's total votes as 6 million for the whole group, not per contestant. BTW, can someone please clarify something for me? Is it judge Simon Cowell giving the record contract or show producer Simon Fuller? People keep mentioning Cowell, but that doesn't seem...

Let's do a little math. Some 6 million votes came in for last week's show and tonight they were expecting a 50% larger audience than usual, so let's say there's 9 million votes. In 3 hours, that means that some 50,000 calls are coming in each minute of the voting period, or 25,000 per...

I give it a very high recommendation. Osborne has one of the most underrated voices in music today. One of those cases where the hit (One of Us) in no way, shape or form represents the catalog. As cover albums go, this is one of the best current examples. Song selection is exemplary, as...

I always thought that the meaning behind this song was pretty obvious (spelled out in the title). Much like the songs on Elvis Costello's "Armed Forces," it mixes the personal with the political. It basically looks at the idea of, as the song title indicates, the end of innocence. The point...

Gambon sounds like an interesting choice, though I was still pushing for Albert Finney.

The closest Media Play is almost 2 hrs away!! Uggghhhh!!! Is there anyway I could convince someone here to pick me up a copy? I'll PayPal the funds for the disc. Please email me at [email protected] if possible. Thanks, Stuart

I think that more and more we are starting to win the WS battle, but its happening in a more indirect way. People are just caring less and less. For instance, the prevalence of WS music videos on VH-1 and MTV. The majority of presentations shown widescreen on stations like AMC and TCM. ER...

Been reading this forum quite a bit lately and it seems to me that the number one complaint that seems to pop up for just about every game is the camera system. From Mario Sunshine to Spiderman to Splinter Cell, the camera always seems to be the game's Achilles heel. Seems this would be a...

D*AMN! I'm just drooling over the Steadman illustrated cover! Bring it my way...

Let's not forget: Jamie Farr in "The Blackboard Jungle" Richard Dreyfuss in "The Graduate"

Big Star: First two records one of the key influences on power pop. Third record considered one of the early hallmarks of alt. rock.

The thing I think that really pushes Monsters Inc. over Shrek is the attention to character. Technical details are nice but true success lies in story and characters. Monsters is a true ensemble piece, with all characters adding to the flavor of the piece and helping to move the story along...

Actually, I really wouldn't mind seeing a good DVD of "In the Mood," either. That was mostly true life story of the Woo-Woo Kid, a teen who somehow had affairs withtwo older women, one of whom he shortly married. I believe one of the women was played by Beverly D'Angelo. It was written and...

Any new footage that was not included as an extra on the Pioneer Special Edition laserdisc set from some years ago?

"I thought it was a costume party!" Man...haven't seen that one years. Would be nice to see it again.

The Complete Dexter Riley Collection containing: The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes Now You See Him, Now You Don't The Strongest Man in the World And though his name is Steve Post, he's really just Dexter in: The Barefoot Executive
