Fred Savage -- Danica McKellar (Wonder Years)

No justice in the world.


Dude... Bossk! That's gives me an AWESOME idea for a new TV show:

"In a world gone mad only two men have the power... to get the girls... to catch the bad guys...

This Fall on UPN- Fred Savage. Ben Savage. Starring in the boldest police drama since 'Cop Rock'...

SAVAGE JUSTICE!"

Hello gang!

Just wanted to let you know that the first batch of DVDs are in the mail so expect them soon. I still need to burn a couple of copies but most of you that I've talked to have them on the way.

Let me know what you think when you watch 'em!

BatmanMD saw it this weekend and said he liked it- we are already planning a Version 1.2 release with some extra goodies on the disc but for now I'm kinda sick of watching the film and need a break.

They shorter versions are tighter. Peter Jackson even thinks so which is why he chose to release those in theaters. The EEs were always meant to be fan-gravy (and don't get me wrong- I love fan-gravy like that!) and they are well done, but in filmmaking terms there is more in the EEs than *needs* to be there to tell the story.

PS: Did anyone else here other than myself go to the 'Trilogy Tuesday' showings of the LOTR trilogy? That was hands-down the most fun I've had a movie theater in YEARS. What a blast! AMC theaters went all out- ultra bargain snack prices, let us bring in pillows, blankets and the works AND they bought the entire theater pizza to eat between shows!! How cool is THAT???

CNN covers the trilogy (but not the show I was at here in Florida)

Ok, so what is the deal with Par and Par2 files.

well they *can* help (and should) but only if you have enough repair parts. Make sure all the .rar files and the .par2 files are in the same folder on your computer. Then before you click on any of the .rar files, double click the first .par2 file. WINrar should run automatically and scan for missing and broken files in the archive. At the end it will scan you .par2s and tell you whether or not you have enough parts to repair the .rars. Be sure the box next to 'repair automatically' is checked. The just let the program chug away. When its done it will either tell you that you need more parts OR that the 'repair not needed' or 'repair complete in..."

Hope this helps

I used to have these GIANT DVDs that you had to get up and flip over just to see the second half of a regular length film- not to mention how many sides there were in a special edition...

I used to call them (does Dr. Evil finger quotation motion) 'Laser Discs'.

YIYF-

I haven't *rented* a vid in quite some time but part of the reason I chose to stop was that Blockbuster drove the mom-and-pop video rental stores out of business meanwhile having the gall to force movie studios to either cut down even some 'R' rated films or they wouldn't carry the title. Blockbuster also was strongly anti-DVD because of the low cost to consumers; they ALSO were anti-letterboxing and OAR because their employees were too stupid to be able to explain to their cutsomers the logic behind OAR.

Right bloody bastards, Blockbuster is!

Absolutely. BUT that said, welcome to the United States film production and distribution system. We have theatres with 30 screens and they can still only show and promote six films at a time. We have a society that can watch gratuitous violence on television and yet internally combusts at the sight of a woman's nipple. And we have a motion picture ratings board that, though filmmakers are technically under no obligation to get their films rated, wield a great and arbitrary power over what can and cannot be shown to audiences. The vast majority of cinemas are owned by a very very few corporations and they have absolute power over what films they will exhibit- 99% of them will never show unrated films and very few will give any screen space to NC-17 films as most exhibitors regard as pornography-lite. This is one of the many reasons the DVD market has flourished- just slap the words 'Unrated Edition' on a DVD cover and many people will buy that version instead of the 'theatrical' or watered-down Blockbuster Video version.

What the MPAA and cinema chains tend to forget is that there is a vast audience of *adults* in the USA who don't need a nanny telling us what we can and can't see. The MPAA thinks it is protecting children but they are not. Especially not while the video game industry and television with their arbitrary ratings systems go almost always overlooked. Why is it that we as adults are capable of changing the channel on the television when a 'TV-MA' program comes on but unable to know better than taking our kids to a NC-17 film? The answer is we ARE capable of making informed decisions- its a shame Hollywood is not.

Film Critic David Manning DEAD!

Gone are the good old days when studios would just greatly mis-quote film critics:

Sony settles suit over fake critic
Thursday August 4 4:56 AM ET

The brief but quotable career of fictional film critic David Manning has officially come to an end.

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge last week signed off on a settlement of a class-action suit that will see Sony Pictures pay more than $1 million for luring moviegoers into buying tickets based on the recommendations of Manning, an invention of the studio's marketing department.

The suit, filed in 2001, accused Sony of unfair business practices, including the "intentional and systematic deception of consumers," by using fabricated quotes attributed to Manning. Manning was identified as a critic for the Ridgefield Press, a Connecticut publication, and his quotes in praise of such films as "Hollow Man," "Vertical Limit," "A Knight's Tale" and "The Animal" appeared in studio ads and promotional materials.

Attorney Norman Blumenthal, who represented the plaintiffs, said the final settlement amounts to $1.5 million. However, a preliminary settlement order, dated Dec. 15, 2004, approved a court notice that announced a settlement fund of $750,000 plus $500,000 in attorneys fees, for a total of $1.25 million.

Despite repeated calls, Blumenthal could not be reached for further comment. Sony, which did not admit liability as part of the settlement, declined comment.

Under terms of the agreement, moviegoers who bought tickets to any of the four films between Aug. 3, 2000, and Oct. 31, 2001, could file a claim that could return them as much as $5 for each ticket purchased. Unclaimed portions of the settlement fund are to be earmarked for charity.

In the wake of Manning's unmasking in 2001, two Sony executives were disciplined with 30-day suspensions without pay.

The plaintiffs initially sought a $4.5 million fund. Sony filed motions to block the suit, but a California Court of Appeals decision last year rejected the studio's claim that it was exercising its right of free speech, saying the quotes represented commercial speech not protected by the First Amendment.
