It could use more Baldwin, but he's still good on the show.  I've really been enjoying Dalton, however.  This and Hot Fuzz almost make up for License to Kill... from time to time.

Hey, Licence to Kill is substantially better than most people make it out to be.  It's definitely better than any of the Roger Moore films.

And twister, ma'am, it seems you really like this Chuck TV show.  Do you think you like it more than xhonzi likes Inception?

That's the first one I tried, but I couldn't get to record anything longer than a minute.

Ok, it is working better,  i just need to unplug and kick everything.  It will work fine enough

Until I finish saving up for the quad-core computer of awesomeness, I need an audio program to capture some line in off of some cassette tapes.  I tried using Audicity, but the final result sounded like something that rhymes with city.  

Any suggestions on a hopefully free or cheap program that will do this?

It is for a PC with WindowsXP and just a standard headphone jack line in.

I got ya Warb.  It is rare for a robot to murder a man in a kids movie.

And Mr Stardust, did you miss the blob maturation program in middle-school health class?  Go ask your Dad.

That's not a bad idea, sir Bingo.  I like the cut of your jib.  Had you tried your hand at composing a scripted fanwritten science-fiction alternative?

I do have a recording from a version that did feature the "mono-Beru", and "Blast it Wedge", and that particular line sounds somewhat different to all the releases I've seen ever since. Is this included now? it wasn't in your preliminar version.

 

Cheers!

Those mono-mix changes are there.

Episode 2 was more Moab than Episode 3 was.

The Five Blobs - Beware of the Blob

KLF - Doctorin' with the Tardis (12 inch mix)

A young Sluggo (age 6 or so) was quite spooked by Son of the Blob.  It took a few weeks to get over as I was an anxious kid at the time.

Bingo, you've been reading the early drafts, havent you?  The Revised Rough Draft is full of treachery and murder with Vader and Jerjerrod.  A sample:

11. INT. MAIN BAY Super Star Destroyer
As the shuttle settles onto the deck of the docking bay, Imperial ground crews rush about securing the craft. The bay is filled with an impressive formation of Stormtroopers, Guards, Star Captains, and Special Elite Units. As one, the thousands of troops snap to attention, and heads turn to the entrance of the bay. The door slides open revealing the dark Lord of the Sith, DARTH VADER. He walks past the troops toward the shuttle craft. ADMIRAL PIETT and several Star Captains are with him. The Admiral turns to Vader.

PIETT
Never before have I heard of the GRAND MOFF leaving the planet to greet someone. You are greatly respected, my Lord.

VADER
Or greatly feared. The disgusting little bureaucrat is attempting to lay a trap for me.

PIETT
He’s a fool to think that you would not know.

VADER
The Emperor’s counsel is no fool. He is very clever and quite dangerous.

Vader and Piett stop before the Imperial shuttle. The hatch to the shuttle swings down and a colorful platoon of the Imperial Guards lines up outside the ramp. They salute as a thin, evil-looking man descends from the shuttle. He is the GRAND MOFF JERJERROD. Vader salutes him, but Admiral Piett and all the Star Captains kneel before him. An effete covey of dignitaries descend the ramp, acting as if they have never been on a Starship before.

VADER
You honor me with your presence, My Lord.

JERJERROD
Yes, I know. (looking around) You may rise. All this fuss just for me, an impressive display I must say. (sniffs the air) Yes, well the Emperor sends you his blessing….

VADER
But he still refuses to answer my transmissions.

JERJERROD
I’m afraid he’s quite too busy.

VADER
Then why was I ordered to return?

JERJERROD
He feels your prolonged stay in the outer systems has not agreed with you.

Vader is very angry and it takes all the control he can muster to contain himself. Jerjerrod starts for the hanger entrance. Vader follows.

VADER
Don’t you toy with me.

JERJERROD
All right then…. the Emperor is disturbed with your failure to deal with young Skywalker and he has decided to handle the matter personally. You will supervise the construction of the Battle Stations; a task he feels will be much less demanding.

VADER
But, I have all but turned him to the dark side of the force.

JERJERROD
The Emperor does not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation. Skywalker is more powerful now, than before your feeble attempts to convert him.

12. INT. BRIDGE STAR DESTROYER
Vader, Jerjerrod and company walk onto the vast Star Destroyer bridge.

VADER
He can’t do this. The boy is mine!

JERJERROD
That seems to be part of the problem. It would appear that you still have some feelings for your troublesome offspring.

VADER
The only feeling I have for him is hatred.

JERJERROD
Then you should be thankful the Emperor has taken such an interest in him. The Emperor will turn Skywalker to the dark side, and then destroy the Rebellion in one swift stroke.

VADER
The Rebellion will not be easily crushed, and my son will not be easily turned.

JERJERROD
The Emperor will succeed, where you have failed. You are weak Lord Vader, more machine than man. The Emperor’s plan has already been put into motion. The entire rebel force is on its way to us, for one last, hopeless confrontation, so I suggest you prepare your fleet.

VADER
My son would not be so foolish as to fall into such a trap.

JERJERROD
Ahh but, he is not with them. Your son is on his home planet of Tatooine. He will soon be in our hands, and the Emperor will have his way with him.

VADER
Get off my bridge!

JERJERROD
As you wish…

The Grand Moff turns and walks off the bridge followed by the dignitaries. The Admiral and his Captains go back to their duties. Vader stand alone on the bridge looking out across the vast sea of stars.

VADER (to himself)
Luke, beware, you are the Emperor’s prey now.

I'm kinda curious about a match between Owen and Vader.

It would also probably be good fun to watch Owen kick Bigg's ass off tattooine.

Hmmm...  Let me see if I can set that up in the ring...

I met someone whose name is Turkey.

I think xhonzi is serious about people seeing this Inception movie. 

Maybe your mom can't read it.

IGNORE by xhonzi in 3...2...1...

Haha!  Not at all.

Or if it did, at least you made up for it. :p

I might be pretty undiscerning when it comes to spoofs... I tend to like them more than others.  Yet my expectations are usually pretty low.

There are some good jokes in Meet the Spartans.  There are a lot of bad ones.  If you're inclined to like spoof movies, I'd say go for it.  It's not as good as Scary Movie 3 or 4, and it's not as bad as Superhero Movie.

 

 Geez, I'd hate to see "Superhero Movie!"

These new spoof flicks aren't even spoofs. They don't find funny things in the genre and exploit them. They don't even tell jokes. It's just endless series of refrences.

Look, it's bald Britney Spears. Hey, that character said, "save the cheerleader, save the world." I know what that means!! Look, a black midget Indiana Jones!

I really think a computer program could make these movies.

It is too busy writing episodes of Family Guy.

So, Ash.  How are you holding up?

Pretty good.  It's been about 3 and a half days, I've only asked for a drag off of someone's smoke once (they refused, since they knew I'd quit), and there's only been one time when it's "gotten" to me (in my Documentary Editing class, where my professor is the most pretentious douche on the planet.  Seriously, he's the only instructor at my school who has ever insisted on us calling him "Professor."  And he looks like V. I. Lenin, goatee, bald head, and everything.  Sorry, I'm ranting now...)

I've found it helps not to think of it as "I'm trying to quit," or "I'm quitting," the way I always used to when I tried to quit.  No, this time, I have quit.  I'm a non-smoker.  I don't smoke.  Not "I quit smoking a week ago," or "I used to smoke, but I'm quitting," or anything like that.  Making it sound more "final" really helps a lot.

Cool.  I really like the mindset of seeing yourself as a non-smoker and not a work in progress.  That sounds like it should work swimmingly.
