I agree in principle, but I never saw MagnoliaFan's Jar Jar as Soloesque. He always struck me as sort of an adolescent wannabe badass, almost like Meatwad channeling Joe Pesci's character in "Goodfellas."

Without question. What would've been its competition that year?


Not much that would have been an Oscar threat. The Emperor's New Groove was hilarious, IMO, but many people didn't like it. The Road to El Dorado was merely decent and primarily memorable to me because I was vacationing in Mexico the week it came out. Aside from that, there were Digimon, Pokemon 2000, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, and Heavy Metal 2000. I dunno if Bloodlust had an American theatrical release, but I'm pretty sure HM2000 premiered on Starz, so it wouldn't have been eligible. Not that it was any good anyhow.

Oh, there was also Fantasia 2000, but I don't know about its eligibility.

Unless my eyes deceive me, he already is, at least peripherally. In one of the Tatooine scenes there's a shot of a ship under construction that looks an awful lot like Slave I. Timeline-wise, it makes sense. He's got a Fat Wad o' Cash after selling his DNA to some fella named Tyrannus, and decides it's the right time to spring for that fancy new custom ship that a bad-ass bounty hunter like himself deserves.

My wife categorically refuses to watch "24" any way other than on DVD. I introduced her to season 1 on DVD. She tried to watch season 2 as it aired, but got fed up with 3-5 week gaps between episodes. For season 3, we started it after dinner on Friday evening and watched it until we went to bed about 2 am. The next day, we started the 3rd disc over breakfast and only stopped for bathroom and food breaks, finishing up just over 24 hours after it began.

Cassidy, the Jaws cover looks really good. But there are one or two things to address. First, Richard Dreyfuss's name is misspelled on the back. The "y" isn't there. Secondly, and this is just a matter of personal preference, but I'd put the title on the spine. Without it, you have to remember that the blue&white on the shelf is Jaws. Maybe you did it intentionally to go along with the blank-spined 2-disc E.T.?

EDIT: D'oh! Now I see it's a WIP.

Hmm, I'll have to do some more research but I just might have to pick this one up.

I seem to recall first meeting that ADigitalMan fella through a Dune newsgroup way back around 1992, when I gave him a copy of the extended version, recorded off Sci-Fi Channel via C-band satellite onto mono VHS. My how things have changed...

As a kid, I always thought Scooby-Doo was pretty fun and watched it most afternoons when I got home from school. Then one day the local station started running the episodes with the Three Stooges, Laurel & Hardy (or was it Abbot & Costello?), etc. Around the same time we had rented about 80% of the Stooges tapes and a good bit of the L& H and A&C stuff from a super-cool local video store, and I was a huge fan of all of them. I also knew that all those guys were dead as dirt, and didn't deserve the disrespect I saw them getting from Scooby and the gang.

Ever since, I have hated Scooby-Doo. My reasons for my abiding disgust with that stupid dog and his stupid human cohorts have varied and evolved over the years, but the feeling has never wavered. I resolved that if I ever buy a Subaru, I will name it Farmer Pinkerton or Old Man MacGillicuddy in protest of the tendency of many Subaru owners to call their cars Scoobies. When Mrs. Enzo and I bring a child into the world, I will do my best to raise it on a steady diet of Disney and Looney Tunes shorts, Stooges, and all things good and non-Scooby.

When I first saw this clip on the re-airing of the 2002/2003 Adult Swim New Year's whatchamacallit, I laughed. Hard. So hard that I didn't laugh harder until I saw Lazy Sunday a month ago.

Enjoy...
