I don't remember what the second Krayt Dragon call sounds like, so I can't come to a choice between it and the original one (the newest one is obvious shit, of course, and loses automatically).

The Terror (1963)

The story doesn't quite make sense in many places, Jack Nicholson's acting is inconsistent, and the image quality of my copy isn't that great. Despite all that it has beautiful cinematography, haunting atmosphere, and is directed by Roger Corman, my favourite director. I give it 6/10.

I don't understand, you say your family adheres to True Christianity, yet they won't celebrate the birth of Christ?

*sigh*  now, if I had said this in reference to the Islam or Jewish religion, what would the reaction have been?  Lets say a celebrity said this about Islam or the Jewish religion, what would the reaction have been?  I'm going to bet that he'd/she'd be labeled a bigot.   Why is it ok to insult my religion, when it isn't to do the same to the others?  DuracellEnergizer, was it really necessary to use those words? 

I have no problem with someone who doesn't believe in Christ, but I do have a problem with people insulting my religion.

I liked that David Bowie fellow.

I wonder if he's ever tried to ignore himself.

And then the multiverse imploded.

The End

Or prehaps ... The Beginning?

^As did I when I spotted the giant Jawas in SW for the first time. Alas ...

It's funny Luca$ hasn't added any shadowtroopers to his films. They mesh with his puerile colour symbology perfectly.

I've been reading through the Uncanny X-Men (minus the reprints that are #67-93), and I'm on #190 at the moment. I've been steadily losing interest in the series since #167, though, so I don't plan on reading anything past #200.

I'm not keeping very fit at the moment. I did go for walks with my dogs back when the weather was warmer, but I stopped after the fall chill set in. I do have an exercise bike, but the thing is an uncomfortable pain in the ass so I don't use it much anymore.

^I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at.

I used to be a firm anti-abortionist. In my POV abortion was to be avoided at all costs unless there was absolute 100% certainty that neither mother nor child would be able to survive pregnancy.

After I began to doubt my religious convictions my views began to grow progressively more liberal, until I finally lost all faith in my religion and did a complete 180.

These days I consider myself a firm antinatalist.

So if I am to understand you correctly, you are  completely opposed to birth, and thus favor human extinction?  I know you've got a bizarre sense of humor, so I'm going to assume you're kidding with your last sentence.

Now that I've read through all the posts here, I've come to see a resemblance between the TPM Yoda puppet and Samuel L. Jackson. Does anyone else see this at all?

It's nice to see a SW product that has no overt PT or SE crap plastered over it.

It's been a while since I've watched ESB, so I just sat down and finally watched my bluray copy. I have to say that as a fan of all six films (they each have their flaws, but I try and love them anyways), the original Puppet is slightly underwhelming to me.

Some of the scenes with him are very well done, typically close up talking shots. Scenes where he is not the focal point are pretty disappointing though. It is hard to understand why, with as many things as they attempted to fix, they couldn't make Yoda look less like a floppy ragdoll during a lot of Lukes training.

I have a lot respect for the original films and film making techniques, but I do feel that it is perfectly acceptable to replace outdated effects... 

For a lot of people, the replacement of the TPM puppet with the CGI version was a welcome change.

Without fear of being bashed (and please people, don't bash opinions on this) does anyone think that the Yoda in the OT could be replaced in a way that would improve the films? Keep in mind, this is assuming the CGI is done well and is well integrated not to stand out.

One of my high school teachers claimed to have been a distant relative of Canada's first Prime Minister ...

By the way, which Batman film is your favorite?  ;)

She sounds kind of masculine, but otherwise she's not bad.

THE DESTRUCTION AND RECREATION OF THE MULTIVERSE CAUSED MICHAEL JACKSON'S CHANGE IN APPEARANCE!

The guy was a great musician, and he didn't deserve to go the way he did. That being said, I have little respect for the man as a person.

The Bat (1959)

A rather dull film, but it did have Vincent Price, so it wasn't a complete loss. 5/10.

I have never seen an episode of Glee and will never see an episode of Glee. I just know such teeny-bopper strychnine would send me over into a murderous rage.
