Nope, haven't seen either of those. Saw the first couple episodes from Season 3 and was bored to death so I stopped. Haven't bothered trying to get back into it.

Sorry if they're big. Like I've said, the Mozilla products resize, so I never realize that they might be a problem. Sorry.

Hasbro never lists the prices unless they are planning on direct sales, which they do not do via their website. Why tease people by listing prices. Most manufacturer sites do not list prices unless they do direct sales. At least that's what I've noticed.

Amazon is listing it at US $29.99. Which is what I thought it would be...

Have you checked out the Definitive Collection DVD Covers thread in the preservation section?

I just hope Weta doesn't let it go to their heads and they keep working on quality productions instead of just every project that is willing to shill out the bucks.

What else has Weta done?

Yeah, well he was my fantasy FB starting WR and he was flattened long enough this season. My season is over now, though, so flatten away!

It's funny because I've tried staring at the avatar before to see if I could make out some detail in Dayv's face. The only mental picture I ever get is of someone in lion makeup because the triangle vox box starts to look like whiskers after a while.

Of who? Jackie Stallone? Never heard of her. And the picture in HotRod's post is broken. Wouldn't know if I was finding a picture of the right person or not. I'll leave it alone.

I've never been to MF.com that I remember. I know I've tried but I've always received error messages about the site having exceeded its bandwidth or maybe it was just down at the time. So I stopped trying.

Apparently I'm not the only one who buys into that as a load of crap, Dayv. If anything, you are buying two sets, aren't you?

Don't forget the Dragon Breath Syndrome. That gets inside Stormtrooper rebreathers and it never escapes. They all die of asphyxiation.

He definitely changed the way movies were made and that's why I care so damn much about these films. I think his pioneering methods need to be preserved. Instead, he's denying that they ever existed. He blazed new trails and now he wants to cover them up in favor of another trail that he is having trouble keeping his footing on. Yes, I am referring to his use of CG. He's trying to use it and he's just not using it well. It looks so blatant, so fake. He's just not doing a good job of it.

I hate when people who, upon being told they cannot smoke in such and such place and will have to take it outside, actually only go into the breezeway of a building or stand right in the door and smoke there so that anybody entering the building has to walk right through a tobacco cloud. Oh, yay, fun.

The Exorcist is still my favorite. Not Kubrick, obviously. But horror/psychological thriller.

Jay, I hope everything that is new and changed with your life has been working out smoothly. I just moved as well and know how hellish it can be.

Zion, congrats on the mod appointment and, Jay, thanks for being willing to assign a mod.

As for finances, I have no problem contributing what I can. This is the only forum I have ever joined that I have stuck with longer than just a couple of months. I've made some great friends here and would hate to see it go bye bye. Let us know what we can do.

Everybody keeps calling the Shining a horror classic so I always assumed it was a horror movie. Well, everyone calls it a classic except for the author of the story, Stephen King, who hated the finished product and that's why he made a TV movie version of The Shining about 4 or 5 years ago. He liked it a lot more even though it tanked in the TV ratings.

867 5309 was Tommy Tutone's ex girlfriend as I recall or somebody he was obsessed with. I'm not sure.

Alicia Keys just released a song with a phone number in it that is real. However it is to a phone line that she owns. What she failed to specify in her song, however, was the area code. She only has the phone number in NYC. When you call it outside that area code, who knows what you'll get. There's been a pretty big beef lately over that. But not nearly as large a flap as with Tutone as his was a huge radio hit and everyone knew the number.

Yeah, sometimes a movie or TV show will have a real number accidentally and it will cause some problems initially. But for the most part, phone numbers with a 555 (or "KL5" as in the case of The Simpsons) prefix are used because they go straight to an operator when you call regardless of area code.

The two packs are 4.88 at Wal-Mart. They also had bigger playsets a few years back. I got one of them. Have to check and remind myself which one it was but I think it had a Wampa and Taun Taun.

Shouldn't be. Just a matter of attention to detail and constructing a drivetrain that will all fit within the container but still allow for full steering capability.
