I haven't had sushi in years, but when I did, I loved it.

Did you see that the import used copies started at only $8.99 though?

I've gotta check out A Mighty Wind. My wife added Turner & Hooch. She loves her Tom Hanks flicks.

Actually, the gross list counts every single release of a movie. So the OV and SE of ET are all counted as one as is SW. Sorry.

Now that I look at it again, I can add M:I2 to my list of unseen flicks. Don't want to either.

Now how about a bunch of us all pitch in a little bit for the membership and order four of these bad boys? Granted the total cost still comes out to nearly $30 (our share of the membership + the figure cost), but it may be worth it.

Okay, I had to start this thread for one simple reason, I found an awesome new Muppet figure that is being released through Palisades Toys ToyClub. The figure is US$15, but the membership costs US$50 for a lifetime jobber. That means I won’t be buying it, of course. If anyone else is already a Palisades ToyClub member and is willing to buy one that I can reimburse for, PM me. Please.

The new figure is Adventure Kermit and is modelled after a character near and dear to our hearts.

Wow. I just watched the Hellboy teaser DVD and, all I can say is, I'm sold. I am so there when this movie comes out.

See the movie. You'll see what I mean.

I wanted to copy a post that was up on the boards at theforce.net from a poster named JenX who was attempting to respond when someone asked her why she won't buy the Sept DVDs even though they are 95% the same as the O-OT. Here is how she responded. The original question is first in bold...

Quote
I can't quite figure out how someone can have "no" interest in the SEs. The movies are, what, 95% the same damn thing? Surely the bits that were changed weren't the only parts you enjoyed?

I'll try and explain.

Imagine a really great meal. Loads of different ingredients wonderfully combined by a great cook. It tastes great.

Now, imagine the same meal, but this time the cook has added too much salt.

Yeah, the meal is 99% the same, and all the parts that I liked are still there, but the change has made the meal inferior to the one I had last time.

And I would have no interest in having that inferior meal again.

This just states it all so beautifully and in no uncertain terms.

Congrats Sweyland. I agree on Cameron. He has such storytelling ability and I'd love to see him tackle an original subject again. I love Terminator (the original only), The Abyss (one of my all-time faves), and Aliens (still my fave of the Ripleyized bunch).

I would have to say, though, that I am a big fan of True Lies although I do see your point regarding the style of this film. It is a far cry from pretty much anything else he has done.

I can agree with that except that I would say...

PT - decent idea with potential to be good to great idea if Lucas would let his actors act.

Oh, and bump up the O-OT to "spectacular friggin' idea that shouldn't be screwed with" and you're aces.

That shouldn't be too tough. You tried Amazon Marketplace yet?

Here, I'll help you out...

Beatles - Rubber Soul (UK Edition)

Beatles - Rubber Soul (Import Edition)

Don't ask me how the UK and import editions are different. I didn't look that deep. I'll leave that up to you.

Very true. I warrant any price.

Found out where to find more info and place your pre-orders. Apparently, I'm gonna cost US$45. Hey, I'm worth it.

When I was younger, I used to think the word was HOUSE but could never think of what the hell lake starts with U. The other four letters work. Then I moved to Chicago and remembering it became much easier living right next to Lake Michigan.
