I have to go with bad_karma24 on this. The DC is very cool. I still don't like the movie and I still thing the original should be out there but in many cases it's a little better than the original. As for the R rating it was because the ratings were different back then. He didn't add enough to make it an R but the stuff that was in there was enough to warrant an R rating by today’s standards. The original version was rated PG and it has the love/sex scene in it. So there really isn't anything more violent or sexual in this movie that wasn't in the original.

They did a really funny skit called "The Real World vs. The Internet." It's good stuff.

MeBeJedi your right. Back in '76 when 20th Century Fox attempted to distribute the film in the U.S., fewer than 40 theatres agreed to show it. To get more people to show it Fox said if they didn't take Star Wars they wouldn't get the right to show "The Other Side of Midnight" which was going to be a blockbuster. I think I made like 10% of what Star Wars made.

I found an uber sweet USB four player nintendo adaptor. You can hook your old nintendo controllers into it and use them with your emulator. It's great fun. If only I knew where to find that again?

I paid 3.75 in Wisconsin today then went to and paid 1.96 for lunch. I should have walked to the resturant.

We'll all be fighting Mad Max style for gas in no time.

I was going to but I ran out of money and the project kind of just sat around after that. I have the controllers built and a computer standing by so I'm sure someday I might get around to finishing it.

That's kick ass on the light guns.

I always hit up Amazon and eBay to pick up books. One time I picked up a woman’s literature book that was going for 350 bux at my college book store for 28 bux on eBay. It can be a pain in the ass but its still has good deals from time to time.

Seriously isn't 350 bux for a book just asking too much? Who the hell has money for that after paying to take classes? It's a little out of control if you ask me.

I'm so glad I'm done with school.

The original prints of Night of the Living Dead were shot on 35mm and looked very nice. If you don't already, go out and buy the Elite Entertainment version of Night. It's the best transfer you can find of this movie to date.

As for the multiple releases of this movie, it's because the movie was released without a copyright. Someone messed up and now it's a public domain movie. You could put out your own DVD of it if you so felt the need. George A. Romero has never made a dime off of that movie.

That's the Mackey fun fact of the day.

Let us not forget the great holiday of Halloween Too. This is always the first saturday after easter. It's just like Halloween but it's the first saturday after easter. Two years ago we started this because my friends and I can't get enough Halloween in our lives. So we got dressed up and went out the bars. It was fun but there was only 12 of us the first year. This year we had a group of about 50 people with us as well as people in Florida, Washington, and California who all went out to celebrate.

So remember if you don't get enough Halloween in a few weeks. Just wait six months.

Well if someone were to capture the VHS version I wouldn't be opposed to reediting with DVD footage to make it all sparkly and new.

You know I don't really remember but I wouldn't mind seeing that again.

Can anyone point me in the right direction. I have been looking on and off for the last few hours with no luck.

It was the 2000 VHS re-release. It just popped into my head.

Anyway that was a cool trailer.

I think I remember a cool trailer of all three OT films that was put together about the time Episode I was coming out. I can't recall where I saw it though.

Get Nero and you should be good to go. I don't think you can do it with roxio. I'm not possitive. Here is a link to a guide on burning DVD files with Nero.

I also found this for Roxio but I have no clue as to what version you have.

No 88keyz is right. PAL 100 = NTSC 104. It's goofy like that.

With all the possibilites perhaps it would be a good idea to limit it to Episodes I-VI only. No extra stuff. Sure that would be cool but make another set of spines for the extra stuff and OT discs.

My 2 cents
