Does anybody know what film this is? Please help! The closing date is today!
All I know is it won an oscar but not necessarily Best Picture.

And then, just in time for Christmas, we'll have the Indiana Jones 'Quadrilogy Boxset' containing all 3 of these 'Special Edition' discs plus the new movie.

I don't own any Indy DVDs so I will consider buying these when they are inevitably put on sale (I learned my lesson the hard way with the 'Limited Edition' Star Wars DVDs that you can now pick up for next to nothing in every DVD shop in the country).

For some reason this show never really got a proper airing in the UK, it was always on at like 1am on BBC2 or something (same deal with Family Guy, but that didn't even get a terestrial airing, it was on BBC 4 or some shit that you need a digibox to receive... but I digress).
Anyway, thanks to DVD I am able to watch this 'show about nothing' and it's great. Curb your enthusiasm is also very good.

Love and hate are both strong emotions, and no film in the PT stirs anything in me that could be labelled a strong emotion, except possibly disappointment (and that's not even particularly strong, it's just sort of there). I guess the strongest feeling I have about ROTS and the PT in general is something along the lines of 'meh'. I certainly don't like ROTS as a movie.

Could it be that Justice League sounds like it's going to be a really bad movie based on a bad DC comic?

Iron Man on the other hand... I'm so glad that it looks like it's been done right. Looking forward to seeing that one.

By that reasoning they should have asked me to write and direct the prequels, haha.

Did you watch the video? I think his issue is with people who really think The Force is real. This is mostly evident in the UK where they had a group of people claim "Jedi" as their religion. If you view Star Wars as a work of fiction, like most sane people do, the guy doesn't think you're going to hell at all.

I was one of the people who put Jedi as my religion, but it was a joke because I am essentially of no religion. That doesn't mean I don't believe in spirituality I just don't subscribe to any one religion and didn't give a shit about the government census so I wrote Jedi. Having said that, the force, as explained in the OT not the shitty PT, is actually based on Buddhism and so I guess you could say that I do believe in it to an extent.

Shit , yeah, I remember that! Luckily I was warned to avoid the soundtrack until I had seen the film for that reason, but then there was a news repprt on TV along the lines of 'Star Wars fans pissed at track entitled Death of Qui-Gon'. I was pissed.

I could have just made this up, but I seem to remember either from the novel or the radio drama that she knew she wouldn't make it all the way to Alderaan with that Star destroyer on her tail so she takes a quick detour to Tatooine (which en route, apparently) where she knows she has a friend in Obi-Wan.

Like I said... could have just made all that up!

Something reminiscent of the old KITT would have been nice, but product placement rules supreme. The fact that the show is pretty much an extended Ford commercial is why Val Kilmer replaced Will Arnett.

Speaking of which, can anyone really see Kilmer voicing KITT if this goes to series?

Car looks nice, but not for Knight Rider, if that makes sense.

Val Kilmer as Kitt? Could be cool.

Is Hasselhoff in it or just producing?

The new guy (Michael Knight's son?) looks painfully uncool in a 'let's make him hip and cool for the kids' way.

All in all - could be ok.

Yeah, but as somebody here said some time ago, Ford seems to look at Star Wars like some bad porno he did in the 70s before he was famous.

I think you'll find that I post here very rarely these days and I don't complain 'day in day out'. I love the original unaltered Trilogy and I like to come on here occassionally and talk to people about it, and sometimes I will also talk about teh things that I don't like and why I don't like them. The Prequels, the Spin-offs, the TV shows, all the other shit, yeah, I am sick of it, and if I want to come on here and state that then I will.

I never said I was boycotting it. I'm just not going to see it in a theatre because I don't care about it.

I saw an ad for the DVD release in a popular London newspaper yesterday - it only came out in the cinema on December 26th!! Why so quick? I remember the days when you had to wait six months for a film to come out as a rental, and then wait some more before you could buy it.
