I was thinking of Mitch Peliggi ("Skinner" in the X-Files). There is seemingly little in the way of dross that he won't narrate if the price is right...
George W. Bush will take sanctions against Ari Fleischer for giving everyone the impression the White House were interested in Regime Change in Iraq...
Hey, all I said was "I don't see the appeal". I find them dull. I don't mind if you like 'em (whatever floats your boat) or that studios are immoral for producing them and that they should be banned.
Read the article : Two discs are the director's cut (fair enough), but there are another two discs comprised purely of "Making Of..." style documentaries and behind-the-scenes footage.
What is the obsession some people have with the dry day-to-day process of film making? All this. "Well, at 5am we get up and go to make-up..." etc. I wonder whether they have "Dry-cleaning: The directors cut", in which their cleaner gives a dull voice over saying "Well, then we add the cleaning chemicals, but not before we've checked for damage... [portentously] and thats how we produce... the miracle of dry cleaning [/portentously]".
Better, go back to the source: A copy of LOTR with a an epilogue by Prof. Tolkien saying "Well, I usually write with a 2B pencil, but they go blunt very easily... I use the SharpOMatic-800 sharpener, or sometimes I'll use a biro."
Well in Amsterdam, you can buy beer in a movie theater and I don't mean in a paper cup either. They give you a glass of beer, like in a bar. In Paris, you can buy beer at McDonald's. Also, you know what they call a "Quarter Pounder with Cheese" in Paris?...
Where do you go to the theatre that you can get beer and pizza inside
I meant outside and after, but with a little planning you can always pull the old switcheroo between a theatre sanctioned overpriced-cola-drink and your selected beer in the bathroom before going in. Theres also the bottle-of-malibu-down-the-trousers trick, but thats another story...
They always underestimate the social aspect. I like going to see movies with my friends, -- (uh oh, here come the "How dare you support the MPAA" loonies...) -- it's a social occasion. We can have a few beers, or a pizza, talk about the movie, throw some popcorn around, and generally have ourselves tidied up after by acned teenagers. It's a different experience from watching a DVD, no matter how good someones home cinema system is.
You sir are an INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THIEF and are no better than the cranked up dope head that steals the purse of the poor widowed pensioner to pay for his next hit.
Actually, I'm also that cranked up dope head...
PS: my last post was, apparently my 500th slashdot post. I need to get out more.
I use emacs continuously, with a single instance open for development, usenet, email [gnus], compilation, file management [dired] and LaTeX. It usually runs for over a week before I close, and its never got *close* to 80MB. It tops out about 20, maximum
But everything else has moved around it, and emacs has stayed relatively still. Now your window manager is 20MB, and your terminals are 5MB each, and your browser... don't get me started. EMACS used to be Eight Megs And Constantly Swapping. Now its Eight Megs And Conveniently Small...
Is there not any legal remedy small webcasters can take, regarding the shocking carve up their larger competitors have set up. Surely this must constitute a cartel operation, or at least a breach of some relevant antitrust legislation.

Well, "Radio Free Albemuth" is chocka with mundane government paranoia, as was the later part of Dick's life, when he was writing unsolicited letters to the FBI informing on his friends for being subversives.
Yeah, but this is slashdot, where more people have heard of Dick than Jefferson. Besides, when've they ever made an Arnold Schwarzenegger blockbuster out of "Notes on The State Of Virginia"

But I still prefer his spoken word shows to his music and his books.
Just because he lifts weights, doesn't mean he's dumb?

I just said I didn't like 'em. Sheesh.

I made no comment whatsoever on illegal filesharing.

ObJoke: Why is there only one Monopolies And Mergers Commission?
Was it not JFK that half the cemeteries of Chicago turned out for?
I've been thinking it for years too. I don't begrudge you the karma. Its (Funny +3), but "Insightful"? The mind boggles...
Do you ever regret leaving Steely Dan?
