Just finished chatting with a friend @ school who brought up another niggling issue: what happened to Denethor's palantir? Without it, what reason does he have for being the way he is, other than the fact that Boromir died?

It's partly that, and it's partly pronunciation. My parents gew up in Surrey, and what mildly irritated me about the HP films was that the kids would pronounce either and neither in the American fashion (ee-thur and nee-thur) rather than the English one (eye-thur and nye-thur). This might have been at the insistence of American dialogue coaches or the director; I don't know.

It may not fit with the other DVDs, but it would look so cool displayed on a shelf on its own, true?

Fellini's adaptation of an old Greek work about two friends competing for the love of a 12-year-old houseboy. I saw it on a whim, and it has scarred me for life.

The in-laws bought it last Christmas. When they popped it in the VCR, I promptly went to the computer/videogame room and began surfing. What I saw of it amounts to about 5 min, but that was bad enough. Not as scarring as Fellini Satyricon though.

Dayv, how is Freddy vs. Jason? I bought Jason X a while back. Love it despite the cheese factor.

I'm glad I just bought the first two. I may pick up Alien3 @ some point, but I really didn't like Alien Resurrection, and the 5 1/2 foot fold-out case for the AQ is not something to have around small children.
Freddy vs. Jason was fun. I know I put it on my worst movies of 2003 list, but it's one of those bad movies that you can't really get mad about. Major cheese factor, just like Jason X.

Usually the same day as the Oscars. I'm fully expecting a sweep by Gigli. And yes, Country Bears is something I'm glad I haven't seen in its entirety. I'm waiting for the EPCOT movie personally...lol.

As many shows as there were that were fun to watch in the 70s, there was much more painful dreck to sift through. For every SWAT and Emergency, there were at least 10 painful variety shows to sit through. Some of these were at the cusp of great comedy, and others, well...
What I mean when I say that the HS is symptomatic of everything that was wrong with TV in the 70s is that I can just picture the pitch meeting @ CBS. If I remember the events surrounding the HS correctly, CBS wanted to turn Star Wars into a weekly series, but GL said no. When asked if he would consider a TV special, he agreed. So here's CBS, trying to package a TV special, wondering which drug-addled, grade Z celebrities it can get, as well as who is under contractual obligation (read: Bea Arthur), as well as trying to appeal not only to kids, but to all ages. The mind reels...

I don't have enough inputs on my receiver to handle an LD player, unless I disconnect my CD changer from its optical input, which I don't plan on doing anytime soon.

Geekiness is directly correlated with one's obsession with science fiction and fantasy. Example: showing up for jury duty in a Starfleet uniform= GEEK!

Pippin really does come into his own as a character in ROTK, and becomes less of a comic foil; contrast this with Sam, who was always a strong character, and it's not hard to see why most of us were more impressed with Billy Boyd's performance.

I wouldn't have put The Order and Beyond Borders on a worst movie list; they were just mediocre.

One more thing that has bothered me from the very beginning, and I think I've mentioned this before: why leave the reforging of Anduril until the 3rd film? I admit that it seems more "cinematic", but the idea of having the shards in Rivendell and waiting until film #3 to bring the sword back into the story seems wrong, especially when it is Aragorn's possession of Anduril that proves to the Riders of Rohan just who he is in TTT (the book).

We don't know yet if it's coming in R1; Warner has yet to make an official announcement about the R1 release.
