But the originals didn't get me while I was young. I was too young or nonexistant when they first came out and by the time I was old enough to be a consumer of more than shiny things the hoopla had died down enough that I never saw the movie until I was into my teens and concerned about little...

The difference being that it is much easier to get an equivalent truck than scenery equal to that of Hawaii. How much business they lose and whether they lose revenue overall is more complicated than you make it out to be. If they lose a production or two that doesn't necessarily mean revenue...

Heros on both sides? Umm ok. Other than that the crawls always seem full of cheese so no surprise here.

He did mimic Kaufman pretty well. Saw Mystic River last night. The acting was good but I think they checked every box for drama cliches on the scriptotron 3000.

I've had Netflix since just after the new year and I have to wonder why I waited. I haven't run into a single problem yet. The most recent flick I saw with this was "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", just a really good movie. Maybe someone other than Jim Carrey could have pulled this off...

I haven't seen it, or heard much about it. I have just one question, does she talk like Christopher Walken? My interest..it hinges... on your Answer?

I missed season three because of the hectic life that comes without having tivo so I'm also waiting with bated breath. I just started netflix so it will be in me queue. You do have to remind youself from time to time that you should be rooting for the cops on the straight and narrow showing how...

Some of it has to do with what makes a quality tv show. Often times a good tv show is quite different from other shows currently running and those take time to develop an audience. For a non-scifi example look at Seinfeld. When Seinfeld first started it really was a cult show flying under the...

My guess would be he tipped off Dumbledore about Voldemort coming after the Potters due to the snipet of prophecy he learned. Snape could have been motivated in part by the life debt owed James. He could also have feared what an invincible Voldy would mean for his personal fortunes.

A Sorcerers Stone would be an imaginary item where the Philosophers Stone was something real people actually pursued. In the mind of a wackjob it's a meaningful distinction.

For television I would ask if you've seen Arrested Development. Pretty Funny show on after the Simpsons.

No I was referring to the title. I didn't think it had anything to do with ignorance of American readers, after all how many Brit kids know much about the search for the Philosophers' Stone or that Flamel was a real person. I had the impression that the change was made in anticipation of...

Ivonova part was good. I'm still waiting for soem distant voice to yell "Mortal Comabat" for the other part. Cheese.

The Philosopher/Sorcerer religious pandering was annoying but the rest was ok and didn't really compromise anything. Despite this it really shouldn't be that big of a problem picking up the brit slang. I admit I had no clue what a jumper was the first time I read it but you can look it up easily...

Snape didn't necessarily show his hand in PS. Voldy could have assumed that Snape was keeping Quirrel away from the stone in order to steal it for himself. Dumbledore dying makes sense both as the kind of archetype he is and story wise. Wise mentors met along the way just aren't there at the...

I didn't read any of them until well after five came out. Finally a friend convinced me that I would fall over if I turned my nose up any more. Good stuff which gets progressively more adult, along with many of the readers I suppose. I went to her homepage and solved the riddles to get this...

I caught a little bit of the retard episode and noticed something funny. The song lyrics for the little Pokemon thing,"And the children sing kill, kill, kill, kill, die, die, die". I'm considering making it my signature. I can't decide on that or one of Princess Clara's wonderful remarks. If I...

I used the search function but got bubkus so new thread. New Family Guys are coming in spring but after catching a couple of reruns on Fox I'm not sure all is well. In two seperate incidents I've noticed censoring of jokes that would offend our current overlord. The first was a picture of W and...

Just not very funny this week. Four out of six have had me literally laughing out loud, one ok and then this weeks bomb(pun intended). My only concern is that they've shot their wad and won't have enough material for too much more.
