I would think that the Pistons this past season would be much more inspirational to the citizens of Detroit than the Red Wings.

Very true. God forbid anybody ruin GL's current "vision" (or as I like to say, "blindness"), right?

login where more than once? If you're having that problem, then set up the autoform function in your browser. It'll save usernames and passwords to sites. Or you can click on the "I want to stay logged in" option that most sites with usernames/passwords have available. Then just click "logout" when you're done if you're on a public terminal.

Nor do the Yankees. Doesn't make them any less evil. I hate teams that use their bottomless wallets to steal players from other teams.

I don't blame you. It's not the same to own the 2600 with 7800 controllers. Loses some of the appeal of the system. Do you have the paddle controllers for your 2600?

Much like the Yankees are to baseball... save for the lockout aspect, of course.

That pretty much nails it on the head.

Besides, GL has said how much he liked the Indiana Jones DVD set, so I expected it to be similar in physical appearance.

There was no way it would be a digipak and I'm kinda glad he didn't. Those things get a bit unwieldy. I like to just slip one case out of the box and open it so I don't have to lay the whole thing down and unfold from here to infinity trying to get a movie out to watch. Weird as it sounds, the huge mother of a digipak that is Aliens Quadrilogy is one of the reasons that I've balked about buying it. I think I might just buy the couple I want individually.

Now what I would have liked to see for SW would have been slim line individual snap cases. Different artwork, hell yes. Check out the thread in the Restoration section all about Definitive Collection Artwork. Almost any of those would be ideal.

As much as I dislike Bush, there are two things he is attempting to get done right now that I support... partial privatization of retirement funds and the restructuring of how medical malpractice lawsuits are handled. I sincerely hope he does push these through.

Confused by the title? It refers to when you visit a website and it offers recommendations. eg "if you liked the movie Mallrats, you might want to check out Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back". That sort of thing.

Well, I want to know how these recommendations are derived on sites like IMDb.com, or Amazon.com.

I was just reading the entry for ESPN's "The Sports List" with Summer Sanders and, at the bottom of the page (Sports List on IMDb), it said "If you like this title, we also recommend..." and the recommendation was "Happy Tree Friends: Volume 1: First Blood".

Here's the description for HTF...

Quote
They're cute, they're happy, they're cuddly, they love life, and they die in the most gruesome ways - every single episode...

How did these two shows get equated? Please help. I'm confused.

What other completely ridiculous recommendations have you received either by a living person or a website?

The controllers aren't bad. I think they're just replicas of the old Atari 7800 controllers.

I'd enjoy that. That might make an LFL official DVD set worthwhile.

I think the films would have been very different. Guinness added elegance and class to a space cowboy story. I don't know of anyone else who could have done it as well. I'm sure someone might have been able to. But all we're going to wind up with is a case of what if.

Just remember, rearrange the letters in "Alec Guinness" and you end up with "Genuine Class".

Yeah, not having James is a bit of blasphemy as he's the one, in my mind, truly responsible for making Vader the greatest cinematic villain of all time. Without the voice, Vader is just a big guy in a black costume. JEJ added the "umph" behind his appearance.

I had actually wondered what it would be like to have all the costume characters sitting there with the helmets/masks in their hands. But I think that would work best as a supplemental photo. Have this one and then a second one with their masks off. If you just have it with masks off, some people would gripe that they want it the other way. So just make both happy.

I wish both Alec Guinness and Peter Cushing were alive for this shoot.

To be honest with you, I haven't seen the DVDs to know about that scene. I'm speaking about the three scenes that resulted in so much anger in me that I decided not to buy or rent the DVDs as a result. I've got my DVD copies taken from the pre-SE LDs and they're wonderful.

Learning about Max Rebo is a relatively new thing for me. I didn't realize he had been changed at all. Doesn't make me quite as angry as the other stuff I listed, though.

I'd like to be able to make my list more simplistic like...

1. Restore ANH to 1977 version

2. Restore ESB to 1980 version

3. Restore ROTJ to 1983 version

But somehow I don't think that's what you're shooting for, is it?
