How South Park Beat an NC-17
IMDB (I love this site) has an article on how the South Park movie escaped an NC-17 rating. Comments on editing, and featuring the most amusing quote " As with the comparatively harmless Big Daddy (1999), the comic premise of South Park is based on the hilarity ensuing from the corruption of children." This and Austin Powers were the 2 comedies I was looking forward to this summer. -
Ghostbusters DVD Bonus Stuff
BeGeek writes " Proton Charging, a Ghostbusters fan site, is announcing that the Ghostbusters 1 will be released on DVD June 29th. I really think this is one of the great movies we've ever seen, and am going to be really glad to have it on a nice DVD transfer. But the coolest part, is that Columbia-Tristar are doing it right; the DVD is going to contain tons of other information, including two original featurettes, DVD-ROM capable, etc. But my favourite feature, is the 'tip of the hat' to MST3K that they provide, one of the ways to access the secondary audio is to have Ramis, Reitman and someone else sitting on a couch in front of the movie and commenting as they watch it! " I'm glad to see that DVD is beginning to be used to the level that it can be. Time for me to bite the bullet and get a player. If only we had the SW Trilogy. Doctor Peter Venkmann: Egon, this reminds me of that time you tried to drill a hole in your head.
Doctor Egon Spengler: That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me.

Suggestions For Geek Film Festival
ChunKing writes "I'm thinking of organising a geek documentary film festival and was wondering what Slashdotters would expect to see at such an event. I think we've probably all seen Revolution OS, Startup.com, and The Code a bazillion times and those films are getting a little long in the tooth now. Hackers Wanted would be great but I don't think it has been released yet. The Stephen Fry film out recently is ideal and will encourage discussion. Downloading content from YouTube for screening would be fine so what does the community recommend?"
