Say Goodbye to the Simpsons (UPDATE: false alarm)
Time

The show has only two seasons left even if the actors take a significant pay cut, says Fox.  You can moan and groan about how the show should have been taken off life support years ago, and I can spent my time agreeing with you, but deep down I'd always hoped that The Simpsons would be a show that got the chance to choose to end - conclusion or no - without studio meddling.  Oh well.

The Phantom Menace - general discussion thread
Time

It looks better with CG cartoons, but it's interesting with modern cartoons.  Where the style of the animation really brings out the style of animation, however, it's awful.  For example, with Batman: The Animated Series, it looks atrocious.  I couldn't watch more than a few minutes.

Again, I really don't mind the option for the higher refresh rate but I fear eventually it will become the default and it'll be all we see, even at the theaters... not that anyone goes to the movies anymore anyway.

cue Skyjedi Lowry/Bond release rant in 3... 2... 1...

Anyway I find film grain to look pleasing but I would hardly ever call it a plus as part of a movie.  It's something that either is there or isn't, unlike a style of cinematography or plot which can change mid-movie.  Doesn't make/break it for me, although as I said I would prefer it.  I don't think I'd be able to articulate my view in much more detail without being easily contradicted, though, so excuse me for not elaborating.

Star Wars coming to Blu Ray (UPDATE: August 30 2011, No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!)
Time
And 5 star amazon.com reviews before the box set came out. And reviews elsewhere. And posts on blu-ray talking about the trolls at OT.com... and possibly EVERYWHERE ELSE. I prefer people apathetic to us than those who pretend to care that really don't. Or maybe I just dislike flipfloppers who just want to be liked.

Random Thoughts
Time

I just noticed that six single-screen theaters in Westwood (five in the Village) alone have closed in the past 12 years. It's not quite my hometown, but I lived close enough that I went to all of them at least once. For reference, this is where the Village theater is; it hosts many movie premieres in Los Angeles, including at least 3 of the Harry Potter ones. Sad to see a town originally so rich in film culture dying like that.

I Have Never Seen...

I have never seen Footloose or Grease. I didn't see The Blues Brothers until I was about 22 because someone told me it was a musical.

Also, I have never seen a blue duck.

I didn't see Blues Brothers until this summer, it was the last thing I did with one of my closest friends before he left for college. We danced to the end credits. It was sweet.
