They included textless title sequences as a separate video on the supplemental UE discs, there was no "turning off" the title text.

Always going to have a soft spot for Moonraker, as it was the first Bond I ever saw in a theater.

I still marvel at all the shuttle launch scenes. Derek Meddings and his crew nailed it two years before the real thing ever happened!

I wonder if anyone at NASA ever toyed with the idea of calling one of the real orbiters Moonraker? ;)

Don't forget the early DVD's of Dr. No, FRWL, and Goldfinger that came out before the SE's. All are THX mastered, and might be ports of the THX LD masters, with anamorphic enhancement.

LALD still remains about my favorite 007 title tune. And nobody does flaming skulls like Maurice Binder. ;)

It blows my mind that Baron Samedi never returned to hinder Bond, (his appearance at the end of the film was to keep that option on the table) but J.W. Pepper did.

Sheriff J.W. Pepper is like the Jar Jar of the 007 franchise. He even stunk up the Superman movie universe. I bear actor Clifton James no ill will though.

Has Universal done much with their tv library on Blu yet? They all but gave up releasing later seasons of a lot of their classic shows on DVD, until Shout Factory took up the slack.

A Blu Ray release would hold a lot of potential for extended cuts of classic BSG episodes, with all the deleted footage that exists, not to mention the theatrical and telemovie versions. I want the BSG movie in Sensurround too.

The Galactica 1980 movie "Conquest of The Earth" is a guilty pleasure of mine. ;)

I received a netbook as a gift earlier this year, so my portable computing needs are met. Windows 7 starter kind of blows, you can't even change the wallpaper!

I'd consider reinstalling Windows if it had actually come with a installation disk. Not giving you physical copies of software seems to be the trend these days.

I actually thought my Dad's old tower PC would have imploded first. Not that I use it all that  much these days.

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone.

John Carter didn't exactly have the greatest marketing campaign. A "Before Avatar, before Star Wars, there was John Carter..." sort of blurb might have helped.

I don't think they even made a Edgar Rice Burroughs connection in any of the advertising. Some people would at least know the character of Tarzan.

My oldest laptop starting really acting up a few months ago. First, it was randomly spitting out a lot of interference that affected the tv doubling as a second monitor. Entire groups of channels would be unwatchable.

In the past month, video and audio playback starting being distorted. Youtube videos would slow down and sound slurry, then playing files off the HD were affected as well.

Now, when clicking through folders, sometimes windows XP randomly goes back to the previous directory by itself. It's haunted!

I've checked for viruses, defragged the HD, kept software up to date, and nothing helps. Is it time to put it out of it's misery and recycle it? (I've backed everything up and moved on to a newer machine.) My gut tells me it would be an expensive repair, not to mention the cost of replacement battery if I wanted to retire it to light wi-fi use.

Pretty much, yeah, gotta agree.

You really ought to know better than to encourage this sort of behavior.

First and last warning.

They've come a long way from the wetsuits painted silver I saw in the 70's.

Why the Beeb never sued Paramount over the Borg I'll never know. ;)

Figures they would move the good Doctor to a basic channel my crappy cable company thinks is a premium channel, one I shouldn't have to pay extra for.

The old regime at the channel did bail on regularly airing classic Who episodes early on though. (Was weird to see Tom Baker episodes with commercial breaks while it lasted.) Kind of misleading when they used Hartnell clips in their early promos. They did a couple Who weekends in the 90's but that was the end of it.

MST3K

Farscape

BSG (old school and new)

Stargate

Is there a fanbase SciFi hasn't pissed off (or on) in the past 13 years? ;)

Wish I had known about the Krampus when I was a kid. It would have eased my post Halloween depression. What I'd give to see Krampus spread holiday cheer in the local mall. ;)

We all know Harrison Ford's famous quote about saying the lines George writes? ;)

I've seen Hayden in a drama called "Awake" in which he was good too.

Star Trek TNG was it's own thing, but we got a cameo from a TOS character right off the bat. More followed a few years on.

If there's a logical reason for an OT character to appear, I'm all for it. It's just natural to wonder how our old friends ended up after all these years. I can even survive Anakin's ghost showing up, if it's important to the plot.

We probably could all agree on which character we don't want to see return though? ;)

I don't even see what wrong with the title Quantum Of Solace.

It just means the smallest possible amount of comfort after a terrible event, which sums up what Bond stands to gain from revenge, it also contains the name of the organisation he is fighting which compared to being called SP.E.C.T.R.E. is nowhere near as silly.

Octopussy is a very silly title for a Bond film but as a niche porn title it's got me interested.

The actual title of an Ian Fleming novel gets an automatic approval from me. ;)

I saw it. Not as epic as Free Hat though.

Saw a couple potential trolls have visited the channel tonight. (Judging by the names "TrekRules" and "StarWarsSux".) Something to be wary of...

I thought of the fake nudity angle for Episode III somewhere down the line. After all, the Wookiees have no pants. ;)

I just heard South Park put it's two cents in on things in tonight's season finale. Just a head's up as I haven't seen it yet...

And lest we forget, "Free Hat!" ;)

It is easier to do it in a browser. My experience has been some people are intimidated by "old school" IRC programs and the like. And I've been doing it old school since the 90's.

Don't click, unless you want nightmares of short green Jedi masters hovering over your bed!
