I don't know. I saw Vanilla Ice live back in 2001 at Northern Lights in Clifton Park, NY, and he covered Strawberry Fields Forever. This was when he was in his nu-metal phase. Shatner's version was hilarious. the Iceman's was sad and only slightly hilarious.
I have to say that I much prefer my vcr's automatic commercial skip over Replay's, as long as I am going to be a passive viewer. With the replay, you keep hitting the skip button, until you reach the end of the commerical block, and then sometimes you have to backtrack. Where as with any standard vcr, after you record a show, it goes back and flags commercials, and when you play it, the vcr automatically fast forwards through commercials. maybe not as handy, but much simpler.
is Russian Ark a 90 minute unbroken take through some famous Russian museum. And it has actors delivering lines. Imagine if some actor around the 85 minute mark flubs a line or looks at the camera.
they are able to fit much much more information on a DVD. That means no popping in a secon disc to see special features, no switching discs on long movies (like Once Upon A Time In America, which has an actualy intermission in the movie, but it's not where the movie cuts off from one disc to the next). Just think, if Peter Jackson approves it, there could be a nine or 12 hour continuous lord of the rings movie with no breaks between sections, and no need to switch discs.
The good: Directed by Alex Proyas, who also directed a couple of top-notch films in The Crow and Dark City. Basing on Asimov certainly qualifies as "good" in my book as well.
The bad: Will Smith
The worse: this film was written by Akiva Goldsman, quite possibly the worst screenwriter in history. Despite his oscar win for A Beautiful Mind, Akiva has never written a screenplay that could be considered even close to remotely good.
Getting funding for a short film is quite possibly more difficult than getting funding for a feature film. A full-length film at least has the possibility of being picked up and distributed to vast audiences, where as an investor's return on a short film is more likely to be nothing, since they are rarely exhibited. To convince someone to give you money so you can follow your dream or experiement is quite difficult. Stan Brakhage, the world-renowned avant-garde film maker had trouble finding funding for his short films, since he was so prolific (he made about 400 films in his lifetime). He then decided to take a different approach and began painting on the actual film, which took more time, and thus was able to make his funding last.
For some other non-Pixar fascinating short films, check out:
Duck Amuck - Chuck Jones Eye Myth - Stan Brakhage Rabbits - David Lynch The Heart Of The World - Guy Maddin The Superbowl Is Gay - Andy Milonakis (yes, I'm serious. This is one of the most purely comedic films ever made)
Contrast that with the recently released "chick flick," "Mona Lisa Smile," what cost $65 million to make
yeah, and the CGI battle scenes in Mona Lisa Smile sucked ass, too! Although the part where Julia Roberts does a double backflip and kicks the dean through a plate-glass window (all do demonstrate the superiority of feminism) was pretty cool.

dude, there are some skeleton's that are so deep in the linux kernel's closet that they are finding christmas presents.
but on a more serious note, perhaps the open source closet is so deep that the skeletons may never be found out. Which can only be a good thing.
In my opinion, anyone who downloaded Creed was a loser, not just for this year.

Any chance of crossbreeding the female gene with the magic: the gathering gene? That would be awesome!
but don't look back on SCO's year, or you'll turn into a pillar of salt.

Those are some classy gifts you gave your relatives. Can I be in your family? I'll even get you something lame like your relatives got you.
The smaller and lighter the mp3 player, the better for joggers and runners. cd players are too bulky and heavy, but this could easily work.
and his scream at the climax of The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again is pretty iconic too.
Remember those 'how-to' and 'home improvement' books that you enjoyed reading as a little kid? In the first half of the last century...

Maybe since I saw his portfolio of horror movies and laughed my bloody ass off
(emphasis mine)
Well I usually go see horror movies to be scared, and comedies to laugh, but to each his own I guess.
