Get thee to thy local store and either rent or buy this classic. Peter Sellers plays an Indian actor (Hrundi V. Bakshi) with a reputation for causing disasters on set. He is erroneously invited to a studio exec's party and proceeds to cause similar mayhem. It plays much better than that description sounds, and you can see that Sellers is clearly one of Mike Myers' influences. Go, Bossk.

The most recent Reubens case, where he agreed to be registered as a sex offender for 3 years, in exchange for the DA's office dropping the possession of child pornography charges. The stuff in question was 50s era Barely Legal-type smut, but Sneddon would've made it stick. In the Florida case, he pled no contest so that he wouldn't have to go to trial.

Please tell me you love the original TCM over the remake!

I have not seen the entire original version and have seen most of the remake (I work in a movie theatre). That being said, and having been given some very thorough descriptions of the differences between the two, I would have to side with SES. The one thing the remake has going for it is atmosphere; the world the characters inhabit is creepy and disgusting. one of the major problems with it, though, is that it lacks a sense of humour, which the original has in spades. The banquet scene alone is a great chuckle, albeit it sick one. Am I on the right path here, SES?

I doubt that, but I still argue that it's a witchhunt. Tom Sneddon is the ADA in San Francisco County, and held the same position when Jackson's first set of charges came up. I've seen this guy in press conferences, and he comes across as the type that wants to "clean up" the Hollywood area. Guys like that are not to be trusted, espcially since it's their record of convictions, not whether or not those convictions were properly obtained, that determines whether or not they keep their jobs. The case against Paul Reubens was pathetic, but Sneddon would've found a way to make it stick, hence the plea bargain.

What is wrong with Return of the Jedi?

The case was one of trademark infringement. The plaintiff argued that he had sent a copy of his screenplay "Space Pets" to LFL in 1979, which detailed a group of alien beings called Ewoks. Of course, LFL has an office firewall in place so that GL doesn't come into contact with unsolicited material; besides, the judge decided that the two concepts were far enough removed from each other as not to constitute trademark infringement. In short (pardon the pun), the case was laughed out of court.

Not worth responding to, but I'll bite. The reason for all the different standards is one: cost. Bandwidth costs money, and a 720p image, for example, will take up less bandwidth than a 1080i or 1080p image. To quote Vince Vaughn in Starsky and Hutch:
It costs *money*. Planes: they cost money. My perm, this yacht, my kid's braces: it all costs money.
