I think that every time the queen says that. It's not a bad idea. Maybe echoey and far away....

005- did you think I pirated anything?  Because I didn't.  I looked up the songs where they were available on Amazon for $.89 per.

I didn't realize that was Danny Kaye until I... er... was looking up the soundtrack so that I could put it on my MP3 player of choice.

I forgot to say: "In before the deliberate misreading of the admittedly confusing thread title."

I enjoy America as well. I should pick up their Greatest Hits. I seem to think I have an LP of theirs...

Now he rides to heaven on a horse with no name?

(the only America song I could think of)

Agree to disagree then.

I guess I'm an old man now, and not hip with it.

Frink, what's that like? ;-)

About to get into spartacus and the latest of Star Trek phase 2 - that fan series that pretty much looks on par with the quality of TOS. - anyone else been keeping up to speed with it? - the eps take forever to be released but they've had a few high profile quest stars like George Takei...

Thanks to OO5 pointing out its availability, I just finished The Guild S4 streaming on Netflix.  Such a great show!  And apparently they will be going to a gaming convention in S5.  Awesome'd!

Captain America

...

I tried to explain the plot, but it boils down to this: old archaeologist dies, grandson finds that he discovered bones of Biblical giants, which could disprove evolution, old men drive by his house, then try to steal said bones. I think that gives it too much credit though.

It's really bad, I wish it was streaming somewhere so you all could experience it.

This is how I read this post. I was like, "what."

Nice, you only fixed half the Yoda shots, I get it, much like half the matte lines are gone in ESB.

As flattered as I am about my little meme, I don't think its universal enough. Unless you've been doing it over on FE.org...

I've never seen this. Where you did you get it?

Yes, plain text editor is your mobile friend. You'll get used to it in the main browser, I forgot there was a fancy one!

Captain America

I'm not sure what everyone's problem is, I freaking loved this movie. I'm putting it up there with Iron Man in the Marvel Universe pantheon. Something about having a hero that was actually heroic, a villain who did villainous things, and actors who took it seriously made it pretty awesome. I liked how it made Cap real, everyone knew who he was and everyone looked up to him. I admit, a lot of the relationships were rushed (I'm pretty sure I read that the writers rushed through a lot of the war so whoever makes a Cap 2 has the option of putting it in the 1940's or in the 2010's), but the point was gotten across that Cap was everyone's friend and just a nice guy. A welcome change from the "tortured, emo, ass" department we've been getting recently.

I think its great that even though each of these movies was written by different people and different companies, they all tie into one another and almost have to be watched in the order they came out to truly understand them. Usually when you have a villain who says that a particular artifact was from "the storehouse of Odin himself", you'd think, "this guy is off his rocker". However, we've SEEN this storehouse, he may be smarter than we give him credit for.

Time Collectors: Return of the Giants

Some of my teenaged friends saw this locally made movie and knew I had to see it, so they came over Sunday night to show it to me. Wow, its really bad. It's a "Faith Friendly" direct-to-DVD movie, so you can't expect too much from it, but it could have been a lot better. I'm not sure what the worst part was, the bad acting, the bad cinematography, the bad science, the bad theology, the bad effects...

I tried to explain the plot, but it boils down to this: old archaeologist dies, grandson finds that he discovered bones of Biblical giants, which could disprove evolution, old men drive by his house, then try to steal said bones. I think that gives it too much credit though.

Looking at that painfully am-dram laden clip, it's clear the blue glow is still there in the Death Star explosion - I cannot believe (actually, yes I can!) that Lucasfilm have been so lazy that that hasn't been fixed! It's been - what - 7 years since the 2004 DVD release?!

Spellcheck doesn't work when I CAPS something on my iPhone. I knew it was wrong, I just didn't care to fix it.

OR you could deliberately mispell it! ;-)

Harmy, are you going to fix the Humdinger? ;-)

Look, I know I'll probably get shot down for this,....I've probably been living in Jaitea's world for a while...but I've just had a moment of clarity....you guys have probably already seen it, but all this Lucasfilm reluctance all makes sense to me now. 

Lucasfilm decides to release special editions of the Original Trilogy at the end of the Ninety's.....this would require the films to be digitally scanned, (don't know what resolution but lets say 2k) this new canvas would allow them to digitally paint whatever they thought would enhance the movies and test the procedure for the upcoming pre-sequels.

Jump forward a few years,...the prequels have been released and some backlash has been noted on the Original Trilogy, Lucasfilm still hasn't released the films on DVD yet, and with the imminent arrival of a High-Definition DVD on the horizon, they feel that the OT SE's need further tweaking....but first the movie needs cleaned of any dirt & scratches on the print....so they send them off to world renowned digital restoration experts Lowrey Digital.

Rather than giving Lowrey the original film, like everyone else does...they give them one they've scanned themselves.....and doodled on.....

This is why we have substandard blu-rays....not equal to the high standard of other High-Def remasters.

So....sorry that I've probably just reiterated what you guys already know....but I just had to say it.

I took a video of my dog running away from R2-D2. Should I upload it to Youtube?

See You Auntie,

Well done on having the Humdinger as your signature.  That may be this forum's finest hour.

I tip my hat to you, sir.
