GKE: *the Stanely Kubrick box set, the latter of which really pissed me off.* I saw the Kubrick box set on the shelf the last time I was browsing at Suncoast. I almost bought it, but decided against it at the last minute. What was wrong with it?

Wait a minute... Shall I have Biggles fetch the Comfy Chair? ;)

Belran... I think you should keep Jack. It's a unique avatar; it sets you apart. (Nothing against Neroon, of course. :D)

Went to see Open Range (Kevin Costner, Robert Duvall) this afternoon with the better half. To use an over-used cliche', if you see only one film this year, go see Open Range. Robert Duvall was outstanding. He'll certainly win an award for this performance. This was an atypical Hollywood film...

Thanks. There was so much *going on* in that scene - foreshadowing, duality, humor, respect, etc - I knew I had to have it as my avatar. :cool:

I'd like to give an official shout out to Antony for finding the exact avatar I was looking for. :D Well done. (But, it still says I'm a Standard Member. Did my check not clear with the bank yet?)

Mine arrived this afternoon. Of course, Disk 2 and Disk 4 had come loose from their hubs. :mad: I checked out the bloopers first, and my copy won't run correctly. When I select up the *5* to start, sometimes it just hangs in a wait, other times it jumps to 1:24 or so into the reel...

My computer has been acting up tonight, too. I thought it was my server slowing down. Nice to know it's not my imagination. It's a cool idea, though.

JJ, As I as reading your post, I thought the movie sounded a lot like City of Angels...Duh. :o :lol: I enjoyed that movie, but my better half didn't like the ending. I thought it was deliciously ironic. I'll have to check out the original version.

Count me in. It's only money, eh? ;)

I concur with Demon. You can't go wrong with Larry Niven. Footfall was pretty good. The Mote in God's Eye was very good, but stay away from the sequel, The Gripping Hand. If you were to look up the word *tedious* in the dictionary, it would say: *See Also, The Gripping Hand.* Heinlein is...

Here's what puzzles me: Santana, but no early Journey; Yes, but no Asia. Zep, but no Plant... :confused: I noticed Springsteen missing from your list, and I'm down with that. I *never* got what everyone saw in him.

GKE: *Movies today are raking in more money than ever before. Records are being broken every week.* I think this has more to do with the drastic increase in price-per-seat and the total number of new cinemas than the quality or popularity of any given movie. Add to that the fact that films...

I've done considerable e-shopping and have never had a problem. Frankly, since your purchase is shipped via a private company (UPS or FedEx), you're actually more likely to receive it in good condition than if the shipper is the post office. (Semi-free market Capitalism is a beautiful thing.)...

Re: \"The Gathering\" Minbari Ears I, too, thought the Minbari prosthetics in The Gathering were more realistic. They made Delenn look very alien, almost insect-like. By the time S1 rolled around, Delenn had a softer, more human, more feminine look. Obviously, there was the question of her...

I'd tend to agree. I would think that there would naturally be a feeling of inferiority present once the meaning of the badge was explained to the new recruits. On the other hand, I'm sure there is a level of detachment involved, too, similar to when someone joins the military and swears to...

In the pilot movie, The Gathering, Sinclair is summoned to the Zen stone garden to meet Ambassador Delenn. There is some discussion concerning who knows what about the Vorlons, which society hates the other more following the Earth-Minbari War, yadda, yadda. At the end of the scene, Delenn...

Fare thee well, Captain Rex Kramer. :) I read that June Carter Cash passed away, as well. Don't celebrity deaths always come in threes?

:lol: :lol: Good thing for you my old lady wasn't reading the screen over my shoulder. ;)
