  1. I dont know but I think SC has hit on something. George Clooney has Britt Reid/Green Hornet and Jet Li as Kato. No shit it sounds like a hit to me!
  2. Kudos to our brave fighting men and women for subduing that bastard. And as far as his ability to drive a wedge between us and our allies we do that well enough on our own thank you very much. This is a happy day and shouldnt be clouded by politicization. I promise , i'll go back to ridicling conservos tommorow. But tonight, break out the bloodwine we celebrate!
  3. I thoroughly enjoyed PT2. Thought provoking tense and intelligent. I think Starbuck's character aquitted herself better in this episode and the scenes between Adama and the president just drip with potential for a very complex relationship. The Cylons are much more menacing and don't look easier to kill than imperial stormtroopers. I will be very disappointed when Sci Fi doesnt pick up this show. 9/10
  4. I thought overall it was as good as the ST/NG pilot and there is a reason I'm making that comparison. If we based how Next Gen would eventually evolve as a series on "Farpoint" it would not have been a favorable review. No name actors goofy plot points and that ridculous cheerleading outfit Deaana Troi was wearing pointed to bomb. Truth be told I didnt even start watching until season two. Based on the POTENTIAL for character developmentand future story lines and the strong acting of Olmos and the chick playing the president, I feel it was a success. The guy who played Baltar has tons of potential, he was like a slimy combination of Dr. Julian Bashir and Dr. Smith on Lost in Space. I like that he is just weak and vain and not pure evil like the Colicos character. I really never understood what the motivation for selling out your own race would be. Good sfx, good plot. Awful injection of "hey we can say ******* on tv" and unneeded sex scenes were weaknesses. The guy who played Chief Tyrol is pretty good as well. I for one hope it gets picked up as a series, but with all the negative internet pre-screening buzz, fat chance of that happening. 7.5/10
  5. So now we are comparing Christ to Starbuck? Have mercy! As far as Richard Hatch, he's just pissed cause he hasnt had an acting job in 20 years. Again, just watch the damn show or not and quit elevating the original to a status it doesnt deserve. Next we'll be saying how great and influencial Buck Rogers was (the Gil Gerard version).
  6. $ilk, I too have been out of touch due to some personal issues of my own, but you and your children are high on my prayer requests. I know things will work out the way they should tommorow, you just have to have FAITH. This is a big turning point in your life and I know you will be guided and protected. Keep your focus and all will be well.
  7. Will do Dreada, i'll even PM you a custom review.
  8. My feelings on this subject are well known to the old timers. In short the rational used to gain support of the war was faulty , was based on shaky intelligence, and was part of a strategy cooked up by Paul Wolfowitz and Bill Kristol left over from the previous Bush adminstration. This strategy of preemption ie, taking out threats before they have demonstrated the abilty to do so to us, isnt in and of itself bad. However when coupled with some of the worst diplomacy and international relations , and the dishonesty of lying to the American people by implying a DIRECT link btw 911 and Saddam, it stinks to high heaven. Bush took the easy road rather than build a case by saying to the country, he has to go, we need allies in that region, and we would rather hated and feared than hated and thought ineffectual.Anytime a leader lies to the country whether it is Clinton or Bush we have a right to be pissed. See you in Nov 04 George.
  9. Now yu all can see why Jag's"cull the herd" mentality is gaining favor. Walking over her inconscious body? please say it aint so? Why would anyone but a double digit IQ awardee go out shopping on Black Friday anyway? I just stayed home had turkey sandwiches with mayo and played video games for about nine hours with my good friend Sam Adams.
  10. I definitely find the term offensive. I wish we could all "get over it" but as Dreada alluded to it is a hell of lot easier to do that if your decendents were the masters not the slaves. On the other hand , it is just stupid to file a discrimination suit based on that alone. It weakens legitimate suits against companies who really do practice discrimination. It causes divisiveness and polarizes people. Lastly give Jag a break on the gene pool thing. I know it may have sounded culturally insensitive. But having "known" him for awhile, this is more directed to the intellectually challenged, which last I checked encompasses all races religions and gender. In short, He beleives there are way too many dumb people, a beleif of his that is slowly gaining favor with me.
  11. The director fought hard to get Perlman. The studio kept insisting they needed a "name"(ie big star). Well as LXG proved a name aint everything, Go Hellboy!
  12. Anyone wanna buy the original ed ws cheap? I knew I shouldnt have bought it but I didnt see it at the theater and couldnt wait. Well I got two versions of the first one so what the hell.
  13. $ilk check your PM's
  14. I'll wait for the other flick( Day After..) That Paul guy from Fast & Furious makes Keanu look like Olivier
  15. I jest. I was just tossing a sour apple in SC's direction. that thing belongs in a James Bond flick! With all that UC's source code seems pretty f****ing safe!
  16. I have a good idea. Everybody who hasn't seen BG yet and ALREADY hates it just keep watching the crappy reruns from the original show. You guys are elevating the original like it was King Lear or something. I admit I liked the Pilot and some of the episodes hold up but this aint Star Trek! If we had an internet ST:NG would have never gotten past the first season cause Lord knows they laid more than thier fair share of stinkers including the comical Pilot. Trashing a show you havent even seen yet? And honestly if you have this much ill will built up before it comes out how great will it have to be to change your minds? You have lost the ability to be objective. I respect Harry and all but insnt this the same guy who told us how great the Hulk was gonna be? The same guy tellin us how Kill Bill would make us forget Pulp Fiction ? Here's a novel idea. Watch the ****in show and make up your own minds.
  17. Reporting as ordered sir.
  18. 649.99 Well mine is an MP3 player and has a digital camera
  19. Fox you are a strange little puppy. I am so much older than most of you blokes my playlist would probably blow a circuit or somethng. Gentle Giant, Jean Luc Ponty, Brand X , Parliment/Funkadelic and thier white step children Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Miles Davis, The Eagles, Zero7 , Pat Metheny and Dick Dale. That's just what is in my car. I like to harsh up with some XTC (speed/punk metal everyonce in awhile) and am quite fond of Alien Ant Farm and Al Green.
  20. Welcome! and be very leery about approaching seemingly abandoned cargo pods floating near jump points, my last warning and welcome again.
  21. Another reason for my blind jealousy of Derek, A thumbprint activated PDA? Please tell me your having us on? How much more does that cost than my trusty Zire 71?(retail 299.99)I have got to have one of those. BTW if something should happen to you who besides Bill gates and yourself would be able to access your medical info?
  22. The movie looks awesome! I am a big fan of EOTW movies, going back to "When Worlds Collide" Isn't this an Emmirch-Devlin project?
  23. Hey Dreada how bout The Two Towers? not to bad for a sequel, Aliens another good sequel, T2 was pretty good, Attack of the Clones was pretty kick ass, so was GodfatherII. I have said often that I thought the original Matrix was overrated. Good SFX, decent story line, okay well maybe Great SFX, but a movie that seemed more complex than it really was. I am probably in the minority but I enjoyed Dark City much more than the Matrix, though both had similar themes. I just bought Reloaded but havent watched it, however my wife did and told me they did a better job parodying themselves than Scary Movie.
  24. How could you miss it TWICE? They reran the premier at eight this week before episode two, boy I don't know about you sometimes.Look for them to do this each week as the show that lead into 24 was cancelled, it will not be reran on any other cable network this year so be careful.
  25. $ilk the love and commitment you obviously feel for children will see you through this. I have faith and that is the most powerful force in the universe, and as long as you have it too, you will get through this difficult time.
