Geez, I wonder if the filmmakers made it a point to remind the audience who the main character was every chance they got. You know, just in case people forgot the name of the movie while they were watching it. I'd seriously like someone to count how many times someone says "Beowulf" during the course of the movie. It has to be some kind of record.

This was a pretty decent movie. There are some pretty cool action sequences, though it does seem to drag in places. I saw the "RealD" version which was awesome. I'm not sure if I would have liked it as much had I seen the regular version.

I don't care what movie it is. It's just great to see that all these MST3K cast members are back together again.

I wonder if the Riff Trax guys will ever get involved too.

Edit: It looks like they've updated the site with a new message. In regards to the movie, here's what Joel had to say:

The first official Cinematic Titanic feature will be available for sale the Monday following our world premiere on Friday, December 7th. That makes the street date a solid, nearly firm, December 10th or as close as we can get. It's a studio version of the live show packed with cool bonus features, so save your juice money. The name of the film we'll be riffing on is a secret, but I'll try to tempt you with some vague descriptions: it's very rare, it's very strange, and it's of questionable quality. Needless to say it's going to be perfect for our experiments. Please sign up for the mailing list if you haven’t already. We just love it when you do.

It could very well be the Holiday Special.

Two games I remember having that had save via battery were Tecmo Superbowl and Baseball Stars. I never had a problem with TSB, but we bought Baseball Stars used and there were a few times when we lost all our save data. I'm guessing that had to do with an old battery. We were so frustrated when that happened. My brothers and I would spend so much time creating our teams and building up the players to the point where every guy was 100% in every stat.

I remember playing Metroid for the first time. About 10 minutes into the game I got frustrated and gave up. You know that part at the very beginning where you get the morph ball? Well I never figured that out so I didn't get very far....

Anyway, I just got Guitar Hero III for Wii last week and I couldn't be more happy with it. I've only played GH a handful of times prior to this so I'm not really the best at it. I beat it on medium though with 5 stars on almost every song. I've tried it on hard, but.... it's hard!

Great game though.

My PC uses nod32 for viruses, and I run Spybot Search and Destroy every so often for spyware. I also use Registry Mechanic often as well as Security Task Manager for times when I wonder about certain programs that are running in the background.

And the Mac, well, I haven't run into any problems yet even though I use Azureus and binary downloader every now and again. I wish I could defrag my hard drives though.

I know what you're saying Puggo, and it's partly my fault. What I hoped would happen when I initially set up the paypal account was that I'd receive notification emails every time someone made a donation. I don't think it's ever happened since I set it up though so I usually don't see the donations until either someone asks us if we got theirs or I go in to check the account. What I have done is made a list of everyone who has ever made a donation and those people will be getting something special when the time comes.

I really wish I had the time to work on this project at the moment but my film classes have taken up just about all my free time. Being one of maybe two or three sound guys in my class keeps me pretty busy as every director wants me to work on their film. I anticipate my workload dropping significantly in a couple weeks though after my production class ends.

They were talking about this back in April/May when Celebration 4 was coming up. Master Replicas held a party well away from the convention center, not wanting to have anything to do with LFL. I could be mistaken, but I don't think they had a booth at the convention center either.

Well for me, I don't think I'd trust a cheap Wal-Mart VCR with my Star Wars tapes. As far as good SVHS players that I'd trust my tapes with? I'm sure they don't make them anymore. Then again, you can still easily buy laserdisc players made in the late 80's and early 90's on eBay, so I'm sure the same goes for VCRs.

You don't think this person was being sarcastic?

There aren't reports anywhere saying anything close to SW being released next year on Blu-Ray, or any specifics on what changes will be in the next "special" edition release.

We haven't made captures of any supplemental material. The films themselves are our focal point and that's what we want to concentrate on. Not that we wouldn't ever consider doing captures of supplemental material at some point.

I really liked Citizen's transfers. Though I could honestly go either way between his and Moth3r's. The GOUT is unwatchable aside from the crawl and opening shot of ANH, which is barely tolerable in letterbox.

I thought Predator 2 was decent. I don't really remember Alien 3, and I didn't bother seeing the 4th film. Seems like both franchises have been going downhill since the 90's. And this film might not do either any favors.

I wonder what someone like Frank Miller or Quentin Terrantino would do if given the chance to do the next movie.

I'll probably be authoring Blu-Ray DVDs in the next few months just for fun on my new computer. Not that I'll have a drive to burn them with or anything, but they'll be fun to play off the hard drive. When BD drives finally dip below $300, I'll probably pick one up.
