thats very true. Even when they do manage to make a good movie Id rather wait for the dvd or till it comes to cable (especially with HD channels that show it in widescreen) then take out a second mortgage.

At the time of my posting I was thinking it was better to be friends with them then have some terrorist cell use it against the good guys.

Keep in mind, it's the technology that's cool, not how they use it if it's for war.

yes, but from the article it seems that it was developed by the US, not England. So I repeat, what does being friends with England have to do with anything.

not sure as i dont use windows media center, but my guess would be it uses a wmv file, and probably saves it to a My Videos folder or something along those lines in your My Documents folder.

If you go into the Options/Preferences/Settings (not sure which its called and where it would be) there is probably an area where you can set the save location/name and you can use that to see the defaults. The name is probably some generic name with a date time in it.

i think its worse then straight littering, cause there is a spot in the car designed for cigarette butts. and if you smoke you shouldnt have a problem keeping them in that recepticle. I personally wouldnt let anyone smoke in my car (probably wont let anyone smoke in my house either).

but yeah, throwing any trash out of your car window is just wrong. especially something that can cause fires.

I hate people who smoke in their cars and then toss the cigarette butts out the window. dammit, use the ash tray, and if you dont want to put the butts in your car's ash tray dont smoke in your car.

no offense but it sounds kind of like a blair witch type thing. Id be interested to see it, especially if some supernatural stuff happens.

but speaking of independent films you should check this film out if you get a chance http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0337585/ its called Bomb The System. Its good, was actually made by a friend of my brothers. Dont know if its still in theaters and if it is its only in small indie theatres. But there may possibly be a dvd release, if there is i recommend at least renting it

I think the hitler one works...according to IMDB he was in movies as an actor. And 'Herrliche Zeiten’ one is listed under actor not under the archive footage section, so it seems to be within the rules.

also, Godwin's law doesnt apply here because no comparison was made. Its wasnt a mention that fell into the laws context.

ps. so no one is confused, i believe its to ricardos challenge of:

Ray Milland

I havent heard many people that have seen 40 year old virgin, or really even read any reviews...but everything ive heard is basically saying its hilarious. Though one person did think the jokes got old about half way.

But as ive not seen it i couldnt really say if its crap or not. But i will agree that somewhere around 90% of the stuff released lately has been crap.

See, you can't do that.

If you were to kill Lucas in 95 he wouldn't have made any of the SE or PT.
If the SE or PT weren't made, this site would have nerver existed.
If this site never existed we wouldn't be here talking about this.
If we're not here to talk about this, then we would never go back to kill him.
If we can't go back to kill him, he would then be able to make the SE and PT.

See can't be done....

I love time travel

I dont think thats right...cause a) it assumes that no one would come up with the idea if this site wasnt here. But also, since your doing something that changes the flow of history it would possibly just make it so when you return no one knows about the special editions except you cause they never existed.

Thats actually where it gets confusing. Think of Back to the Future. Marty made changes, but he is still the Marty from the pre-change time period. so he really caused a branch. But the changes he made almost affected him while in the past (if his parents hadnt gotten together) so wouldnt then all the memories he had from growing up of changed as well (since those events changed), causing him to not be confused when he went back to his parents and saw that things were 'different'.

or maybe time travel is possible, and someone did go back to stop the prequals (its not necessary to kill him, plus its an inappropriate comment) but then since there were no SE's it changed the events so that they never went back in time, thus they never went back in time to stopped the SE's because they werent there to stop.

but back to the BttF, you could go by what Doc says in 2. If im not mistaken he says something about the changes actually causing branches and its a 'different 1985'

except that 40 year old virgin is actually getting people to go see it, and if you read the article you would see it was classified as a success. Also im pretty sure it took #1 for the box office the weekend it came out. Though they also called Fantastic Four a success, not sure how well it did in the box office, but honestly I thought it was entertaining...it was no x-men or spiderman, but it was decent (ie better than a lot of the crap that gets released)

if someone wants to send me a copy of the discs once they hit the states (assuming karyudo is just sending ReverendBeastly one as it'd be cheaper), id be willing to forward on say 5 copies to people (preferably in the US) that are going to make covers free of charge on the caveat that they will actually make at least one cover and post it up in this thread. klokwerk, if your in the states ill consider you to be the first of the 5.

Baby Hum,

is it safe to assume that any of the new postings are the final versions? I thought at one point you said that the re-released bh001 had a new version. Reason i ask is cause if there is i wont bother burning this version. but if all the ones with menus that have been distributed so far are the final (i use that term somewhat loosly, current final is probably better) versions then i will burn the iso's i have on my hd to disc, otherwise ill wait.
