    The IT Crowd Season 3

    That last episode has to be the funniest thing I've seen on the whole show so far - I just couldn't stop laughing - brilliant! "CAVORT! CAVORT!" Michael

    ***Official 8th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge***

    I'd like to participate again this year. Not sure yet how much time I'll have. Starting a new job on the 8th which may take up some time to get settled in that I would have used to watch last year. I'm sure I can do at least 13 but I'd like to do more...we'll see. Michael October 1, 2007...

    If you could only put one (1) BEATLES song on your iPod, which would it be?

    I'd say it's the song "Yesterday" although I actually prefer the version performed by The Seekers. It's a lovely song and very poignant. Michael

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: The Fountain

    I went into The Fountain in the theater with very high expectation as I loved both Pi and Requiem for a Dream; this movie far and away exceeded my expectations and confirmed my belief that Arronofsky is a director with a singular and unique vision. I truly hope he continues to make films a...

    Criterion's June Lineup

    I've been waiting for If... since the beginning of the format with little hope to ever really see it arrive. June will be the first month I've bought a Criterion in more than a year. Can't wait... Michael

    Any Cowboy Junkie's recommendations?

    I've just been getting into the Cowboy Junkies lately. I haven't made it through their whole catalog yet, but I really enjoyed "Pale Sun, Crescent Moon (my fave), The Trinity Sessions, Miles From Our Home, and Black-Eyed Man" I don't recall ever hearing any songs from Pale Sun, Crescent Moon on...

    Warner releasing LITERARY CLASSICS COLLECTION on 03-06-07

    Billy Budd is probably the very top of my most wanted list currently and I'm glad to see Warners is going to give it to us. I first saw this film in my 11th grade american lit class and have been waiting so long for it I wondered if it was forgotten. This set can't come fast enough for me...

    ***Official 7th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge***

    October 1, 2006 1. Freaks (1932) I have seen this film many times since I was young and enjoy it more every time I think. The scene in the rain at the end is very effective for its time I think. 2. Even Dwarfs Started Small (1970) This movie I've only seen half way through before. This time...

    HUMPHREY BOGART: THE SIGNATURE COLLECTION VOL. 2 Debuts 10/03/06

    This is what I've been waiting for. Maltese Falcon is my #1 film of all time and I've been waiting for this news although I had no idea it would be a 3 disc set and I had no idea it would be this soon! I've not seen any of the other films in the set so this is a no brainer must buy for me...

    WB Dvd DeciSION 2006

    I've also been waiting with baited breath for the hope that "Edge of the City" would be released sooner rather than later despite its lack of support on last year's vote. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with ANY of the movies on this year's vote so I have no idea which ones are worth...

    Warner, howzabout a Peter Lorre Box Set?

    I would pick this up in a heartbeat. I've been wanting 'mad love' on dvd almost since the beginning. All of the other films suggested are films that I've wanted to see for years so I'd definitely pick it up. There's not enough Lorre on dvd for sure. Michael

    Ocean's Twelve SE on the way

    I finally got around to seeing Twelve recently with my wife after being put off of the movie by the general reaction on this forum. However, we found that we very much enjoyed the whole thing...we never did like Eleven...it seemed too slick for its own good and i found the entire experience...

    newsradio season 3

    I'm glad that they've finally posted a date for S3. I think I've watched the S1/2 set about 3 times and another for the commentaries...definitely one of my favorite tv sets in my collection for rewatchability. Now if only my other most watched set (Just Shoot Me) would come out with an S3...

    Horrible movie experiences, part 2.....

    Normally I only end up at about 3 movies a year because of the cost and annoyance factors. Last weekend I saw Narnia and it was filled with annoyances...starting with the trailers being misframed to the picture being just slightly out of focus to the guy 2 rows behind us falling asleep and...

    Home Movies 3

    I can't wait for this set. Season 3 is definitely the one that gives me the biggest bellylaughs...Also gives me a great excuse to rewatch 1 & 2 for the Nth time;) Michael

    The Bela Lugosi Collection and related dvd problems

    I just got my copy the other day. This morning I pulled out The Raven to watch since that was already the movie I most wanted to rewatch. I was playing it on my myth tvpc on a sony dvd-rom drive and it played without any hitches at all. I'm tempted to go out and get the hammer set now that...

    Movie deaths that stayed with you...

    Surprised noone's mentioned "Dancer In the Dark" When Bjork is dragged from her cell at the end to walk to her execution, Bjork's acting is so raw that I couldn't help but be deeply affected long after I watched it. I have it on my shelf and have not yet watched it a second time. Michael

    Mandatory Employee Party...

    of course he's not going to get fired right away;) the influence of the company is more insidious than that...but if it was that important to them, 'they' will definitely make their displeasure known. I have a fresh out of college computer engineer that I hired at my work place recently...he...

    East of Eden and Rebel Without A Cause preview

    East of Eden is one of my top 5 favorite classic movies of all time. I've been pining away for years to see a nice dvd edition of this film come out and now it's just a week and a half away. Warners was already easily the studio of the year for classic movies but this new set just makes my year...

    Farscape - should I make a blind purchase?

    When I first watched Farscape I thought there was nothing they could do to outdo that Season 1 finale...hell for me the effects, story, characters in that episode were better than many movies made from hollywood. Of course I was wrong. Farscape did outdo that episode, quite a few times...one...

    Mystery Science Theater 3000: Season 1 box set... maybe

    Sean, We'll probably never see the godzilla/gamera mst3k versions on dvd (or time of the apes, fugitive alien) since Sandy Frank was so upset by what MST3K did with those movies.... I'd love to see amazing colossal man rear its ugly head again but since the rhino vhs quickly went out of...

    Farsacape - What is the "point of no return"?

    I would say that if you aren't hooked once the Scorpius character is introduced, you probably won't want to stay with the show. His character provides motivation and antagonism for the entire rest of the show. He is also one of the most interesting and complex characters in the show. I would say...

    Excellent! East of eden is in my top five most wanted on dvd films. I own the current rebel but would upgrade in a second...i also own the first dvd edition of Giant (never picked up the second version)...so the box is definitely something I'm going to be planning on getting day and date!

    Do you feel like the situation might be hopeless for your fave TV shows?

    Now that Greatest American Hero is coming out on dvd , the one I want most is the short-lived karen Sisco. Only 10 episodes were made and I'm quite worried that since it didn't show up shortly after the show's demise, it may not show up at all. I also really really want to see Odyssey 5 and...

    QUEEN to tour in 2005 - official news

    I wish Brian would hurry up and release a new album rather than trying to tour on the Queen name. I love "Back to the Light", "Live at the Brixton Academy", and "Another World." I'm certainly not interested in Paul Rodgers singing for Queen (although count me in as someone who thinks George...
