I'm glad most of my Catholic friends aren't as ridiculously ignorant as you, Hellhound (interesting name choice for a Catholic, by the way). It's people like you that give Catholics a bad rap, same as the Islamic extremist suicide bombers giving Muslims a bad rap.

I may be an atheist, but at least I have an open mind.

Two things.

1) Have you read them, or seen the movie?

2) This is the part that really bothers me: saying what you said is like me saying saying, as an atheist, I refuse to see any movies about religion. That's absolutely ridiculous. The Passion promotes Catholicism! BOYCOTT IT!!!!!

I just finished rereading the book. From what I hear, I'll probably enjoy the movie (I plan on seeing it this weekend), even though the ending has been changed. Though I will admit the book ends on a big downer, I think that's better than having a cliffhanger that might never be resolved (greenlighting of "The Subtle Knife" and "The Amber Spyglass" depends upon the success of "Compass," so even though the true end to "Compass" will be in the beginning of "Knife," it may never be seen except in a potential Director's Cut of "Compass" if the first movie does poorly).

And the first book's most controversial elements IMO occur during the excised portion of the ending, and "Knife" & "Spyglass" are infinitely more controversial than the first. I hope the sequels are done justice and not watered-down, but I hope even more that they get made. I loved all three when I first read them, and I think the ultra-conservative Christians that are bashing the books/movies need to actually read them to see what they're saying beyond what everyone says about [SPOILER FOR BOOK 3 AHEAD--------------] killing God in the books. That's not exactly how it goes. People should judge for themselves. [--------END SPOILERS]

Off to finish a research paper and start rereading "The Subtle Knife."

To answer one question, yes, all 5 versions of the film are in full 1080p HD on the 5-disc set, including the workprint (although that was sourced from a print, not the negative, so quality won't be quite as good, though it should still hold up very well).

It has a (very rough) preview of the next movie "The Beast with a Billion Backs" - you can find it on youtube i believe - and I dunno what else is on it.

So, has anyone else seen "Futurama: Bender's Big Score" yet? Just watched it today, let me tell you it was GREAT! It's not like the Family Guy movie, which is 3 episodes lazily tacked onto each other - it really is a cohesive whole. The last quarter is a bit of an exception with the flashbacks, but for the most part, anytime something "new" comes along that would be conducive to the beginning of a new episode, it feels perfectly natural. Aside from the obligatory "We're cancelled! Wait, no, we're back now," jokes at the beginning (which are done by 5 minutes in), nothing fell flat - I'm incredibly excited for the next 3 movies and the sixth season (since the fifth will be the 16 episodes from the 4 movies). Hopefully Futurama will live on properly and not go to shit like Family Guy - but for now, there's nothing to worry about.

He's got a bunch of other small ones, but I can't see them from my computer desk and there are already far too many images in this thread anyway, so yeah - those are all the major posters we have in our room right now. The wall's not completely full yet, so we've got a little while to go until we're done.

Gas is about $3.30-ish here, which isn't expensive compared to European countries, but just a couple years ago it was coser to $1.25. That's why you hear so much bitching about the price of gas in America.

You're judging based on pics that were taken on-set, not based on actual shots from the film, so any cinematographic lighting choices etc are not accurately represented. I'd hold off until you see at least a trailer.

And I'm not worried - everyone I've talked to that's been on set or has seen shooting downtown when it was still here (Chicago) says not to worry, and those images aren't representative of the mood of the film at all.

In short, it'll be worth it. And if it turns out to be shit, well, I'll be the first to admit that, but I'm staying optimistic.

Like I said, if anyone else is planning on going to the Chicago Music Box Theatre to see it, I'll be there for the Nov 2 show (showtimes won't be up until next week, probably Thursday the 1st). Judging by previous Music Box runs, it should be there for two weeks before getting replaced by another movie.

Penguin's not in it. I go to Columbia College Chicago, film major, and I know several kids who were interns on the set when it was filming in Chicago, and I have it on good authority that Heath Ledger is amazing as the Joker, and that the other villain is Two-Face, but only at the very end.

This is starting to seriously piss me off ... does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be the problem? Would a complete hard drive wipe/OS reinstall solve this? (If that's the case I'll wait till Leopard is released to do so)

The first 2 are quite different, the 3rd less so, and by the 4th the only differences are "sorcerer's," "study" in place of "revise," and spelling/grammar "fixes."

Correct. And if you're as ridiculously anal about things like that as I am, you order the Canadian DVD from Amazon CA thus paying about 15 more dollars than you should, and you get all the books imported from either Canada or the UK.

And I still haven't been able to get home, so I haven't been able to check the deleted scenes for you. I have a copy with me, but it's a one-disc, single-layer, movie-only copy, which isn't much (any) help.

Region 1 = NTSC, correct? If it's R1, it WON'T be PAL format ... am I right?

I own it, but not with me, it's at home and I'm an hour away at college - I'll take a look next chance I get and let you know.

These are the fan edits I'd like to see for GRINDHOUSE:

1) Theatrical version preservation:
Fake trailer opening
Theatrical cut of PLANET TERROR
No credits after PT
Fake trailers intermission
Theatrical cut of DEATH PROOF
Credits for PT and DP at end

2) Exended theatrical version:
Fake trailer opening
Extended cut of PLANET TERROR
(PT credits as an intermission? Since it *will* be substantially longer)
Fake trailers
Extended cut of DEATH PROOF
DP credits (or both if no intermission credits)

3) Fan-edit cut, as andy_k suggested.

It costs $1,200 if I recall correctly. The price on that one's being lowered a couple hundred when the next one with support for BD-J and HD's other special thing comes out, which will be $1,300 IIRC.

So yeah, it's a bit expensive.

Blu-ray is going to emerge dominant (well, it already has, to be honest), and eventually will take over almost completely. It's by far the superior format anyway.
