This format war, as upsetting as it may be at times, is NOT a life or death matter. Kittens will not be slaughtered if either side wins, and your favorite movies will still be there on DVD when the dust eventually settles.
I love it when lordjedi disagrees with my every post. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Feelin' the love, buddy. Feelin' it like the Ewok fudge train.

Actually the movie has been changed in other ways. But since ignorance is bliss and your conversation has brought so much to the discussion, let me simply respond by saying "Spelling: -5."
Originally posted by: C3PX I like how Guy Fawkes night is now synonymous with V for Vendetta.
I was going to point that out. I mean, how many of you Yanky boys actually knew what Guy Fawkes was before that film came out? None I bet. No doubt it'll be turned into something completely different now, be celebrated on a different day and will have nothing to do with Guy Fawkes.
Can'tcha just hear Guy Fawkes saying: "I started the first fires in this goddamn city. Before I knew it, every charlatan and shitheel was imitating me. You know what they got now? Guy Fawkes Night greeting cards. Isn't that precious? The idea has become the institution, boys. Time to move on. I want you to set a fire so goddamn big, the gods will notice us again, that's what I'm saying. I want all you boys to look me straight in the eye one more time and say: ARE WE HAVING FUN OR WHAT??!!"
Interesting "That's a Wrap" feature. Did you guys know that in 1981 there was a movie called "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark?" I don't recall that film. Boy, that's a mouthful too.
I have complete faith in this film. If you're getting your knickers in a twist over whether or not the Joker wears makeup vs chemical bleaching, I have two words for you:
Thing is, they've taken Michael Myers and turned him from some faceless, mindless demon into a product of a tortured past. What made the original so damn scary is that he was a normal looking kid from a normal looking family who butchered his sister for no reason. He was pure evil, and that was enough to scare the shit out of us. We didn't even know what the adult looked like. Instead of some hairy freak, he was faceless. Fear of the unknown. The original movie scares the piss out of me. This new crap has no interest with me precisely because we've taken something Hitchcockian and turned it into more torture porn.
Incest is the best Put your sister to the test Inbred in the bed Squeeze your brother's purple head Luke let's have some sex Flex your Oedipus complex Leia let's go inbreed Mama's buried back in Theed
It's out today and there's nary a word of it on IndianaJones.com. Has Lucas really turned into this much of a marketing dipshit. The O-OT quality fiasco was pretty bad, but not hyping your (supposedly quality) release on your own web site is about as fucking stupid as anything they've done. Millions of people hitting the official site to find out about this new movie suddenly learn there's a whole boxed set of movies they've probably never seen and might want to check out ... but instead we have tired-ass video updates from the set of Indy IV.
I can't be the only one who was more excited about the YIJ DVDs than I am about the upcoming Clone Wars animated series.
In addition to all the stuff I listed earlier, I've got some stuff in my rental queue that I'll be watching in good time:
The Invisible Man Returns (introducing the then-unknown Vincent Price) Revenge of the Creature (I wish the 3-D version was available) The Creature Walks Among Us Son of Dracula House of Dracula Murders in the Rue Morgue The Black Cat The Raven White Zombie The Corpse Vanishes Scared to Death Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein (especially for Lugosi's triumphant return to the role he originated ... see a pattern?) The Golem (silent - The Simpons spoofed this one last year) The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (silent) The Man Who Laughs (silent - featuring the character upon whom The Joker was modeled)
Umm, I'm an active Christian. All I did was post an image of Ted Haggard and suddenly I'm bashing the millions (actually there are billions) of Christians around the world? You're jumping to a conclusion there. I'm bashing hypocrites because, as the first post in the forum says "I was shocked by some of the fanatics who use and abuse religion for power and political goals and want to force their religious shit on others."
I agree that the Bible is not hypocritical, even if it is contradictory at times. But those contradictions do make it easier for hypocrites to seize upon it for their own purposes. Just sayin' ...
