It'll be similar to the philosophical question of if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it make a sound? I'm looking forward to it as well.

It's an anniversary, Bossk. I seem to remember DAYV talking about one of his friends who had died in the forums around this time of year. Am I right, DAYV?

I was thinking the same thing. @ least G4 Tech TV (Yes, it's still called that in Canada) shows reruns of Call for Help instead of Star Trek. Again, there are some advantages to being Canadian.

We'll probably wait until the weekend to do anything. Our son's birthday is on the 10th, so we'll probably have his birthday party that weekend as well (17th-19th).

I do remember that Denny's was originally Sambo's. Why, you may ask? I worked @ Denny's for 6 months, and corporate history was part of the training course.

As for the Long John Silver's thing.... EEEEWWWW!!!!

I think I'm gonna be sick.

When you say the DVD looks more wide, do you mean that it looks like they cut more off the top and the bottom, or that there is more information at the sides of the image?

Accessibility. I'm not going to d/l some lousy cam job just so I can see it, as the quality of presentation is inevitably going to affect my opinion of the film. Howl's is not playing anywhere near here, and it's not available on DVD yet, so I have to be patient.

What it boils down to is a lack of respect. Tolerance is the lowest level of respect. What the European papers have done by publishing the comics is show a total lack of respect for the Muslim community and couched it in the terms of "freedom of the press." However, the Muslim community has done nothing to mitigate the damage by violently protesting the publication of the comics. In fact, what they've done is arouse curiosity and made the issue mushroom into something even more offensive: the "car-crash effect", as I like to call it. If the Muslim community had either issued a strongly worded rebuke or done nothing, the whole issue would have gone away; instead, it winds up making headlines all over the world, and now EVERYONE has to see the comics to see what all the fuss is about.

There are only two ways to deal with the disrespectful: one is to rebuke them, and the other is to ignore them. Anything else is going to fuel their flames.

Just remember this: speech is free, but be prepared to suffer the consequences. As my father has frequently said, "It is better to be silent and thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

I still haven't seen Howl's, so I can't say whether it should win or not. I'd like to see it, but I haven't had the time or the ability to do so. I will say that Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit held up to repeat viewing very well, and that's always a strong indicator of quality for me.

A/R is fine. Daviau knew the film would end up being shown 1.85:1 and in fact approved the 1.85:1 transfer for LD at the same time as teh first video release.

When E.T. was first released on video back in the late 80s, Video Review ran an article on the process of transferring the film to video. The subject of letterboxing was brought up, and since cinematographer Allen Daviau worked closely with the colorist on the transfer, he divulged in the article that he had composed the film in a loose 1.75:1 aspect ratio and shot with a 1.66:1 hard matte in the camera. It's just one of those things that has stuck in my head.

Two of them are out on DVD as of today. Get with the program, DC.
