If anyone has the Criterion CAV FRWL, let me know.

I never received any response from Criterion. I've also written to the former head of MGM's video department, so we will see what comes about.

I have all three discs. What do you need?

Dallas Taylor (April 7, 1948 – January 18, 2015)

A personal friend of mine, and great humanitarian was lost today. Dallas Woodrow Taylor Jr. was an American session drummer who played on several rock records of the 1960s and 1970s. He is best known as the drummer on Crosby, Stills and Nash's debut album, Crosby, Stills & Nash and their follow-up with Neil Young, Déjà Vu. Dallas had helped a lot of people with his drug intervention practice. I had last been in correspondence with him a couple of years ago, when I  sent him some rare unreleased CSN and CSN&Y studio out-takes with him on drums. He seemed very appreciative, and was a very kind soul.
RIP Dallas.

I just finished up "An idiot Abroad". Funny series, but I did feel they bullied the guy a bit much.

I also always enjoyed the FASA Star Trek Role Playing Game source books, and I very much considered them part of my personal Star Trek canon during the pre-Next Generation era. My role playing friends and I  did not recognize the Next Generation gaming material for the first few seasons of that show when it went on the air in the late 1980's.

Abram's movies aren't even bad.  Different, yes.  Completely and totally different.  Not even the same feeling.  Feels more like star wars than star trek, yes.  Bad?  No.  Fun?  Yes.

 I always say they're good action movies, but horrible Star Trek movies

 At least I didn't get angry to the point of violence at Voyager/Emterprise or the cast and crew. STID, however, did.

 I almost walked out of the theater during the Spock punching Khan scene.

Yes the original series had "fight" scenes, but nothing to the degree of  what was portrayed in STID.

I was never able to get into the Gold Key Comics. I started reading Trek comics around 1980 or 81 with the Marvel series. Still have all of my back issues of that, and also the first DC series. The DC series was my favorite.

DC also put out a Next Generation mini-series in the late 80's that I own, but I did not enjoy it at all. My Trek interests as far as collecting and reading ended for me in 1992 with "The Undiscovered Country". That was the last tie-in novel I read all the way through. If memory servers, I did get a hard cover copy of the Generations novel as a gift, but I did not find it interesting.

This is my personal literary Star Trek canon list.

This is stuff I have read, and I continue to re-read.

If it's not on the list, I did not read it, or I did not consider it worthy

of considering cannon.

This is where it all ends for me!

So I got a chance to watch the first two episodes of Agent Carter today, and I enjoyed them. Here are two articles I found about these episodes and the Easter eggs within.  I found the story behind the name "Daisy Clover Dairy Farm" interesting.

and

Marvel’s Agent Carter S01 E02: Bridge and Tunnel

I never went to see "Return of the Sith" in a theater, but when I got a home video copy I turned it off about ten minutes into it. Does that count? I have never seen the entire thing. As far as movies I've walked out on in theaters, there is "Son of the Pink Panther", Robin Hood: Men in Tights", and "Man of Steel".

My Special Edition of George Lucas would wear bright polka dot shirts in place of plaid flannel.

Me!

I realized the prequels sucked a few days before the premiere of TPM.

I was in a Walgreens and they had a huge tie-in merchandizing campaign, with the likeness of Jar-Jar, Anakin, or Darth Maul on almost every product you could imagine. There was a display with the film's children's storybook edition, and I took a glance at it. Right there and then I knew it was a total stinker.

Everything or Nothing (2012)  8/10

If you have seen all of the Bond film DVD extras, then there is really nothing new here information wise.  This is a condensed version of the history of Bond on the screen. What was new and reveling to these Bond documentaries, was the more in depth story about two subjects that are avoided and glossed over in passed 007 documentaries.  Kevin McClory's claim of ownership over "Thunderball", and the falling out between Connery and his producers.
