Speaking of Dr. Who, Tom Baker was so "in the zone" as the marsh wiggle that I really am haivng trouble seeing anything else in the role. I figure that WETA (or whoever is doing the FX and creature work) will either do a CGI gollum type creature or a puppet, but they better have a believable actor behind it.
Thats why I imported Volcano high (with the cut scenes were subbed because some good ones were cut) and Shaolin Soccer. Thinking I may do the same with Kung Fu Hussle but I am giving it a chance.
The "thing" had a limited capacity as I remember. however your gown had pockets as well so between the two and fords satchel you had plenty of cargo space.
Keep in mind the reviewer (and many slasdotters) are listing things from the entire 5 part trilogy that are missing from a 2 hour film that at best can try to follow the first book loosly.
Your example seems ruthlessly truncated. Seriously. Did the "reviewer" (is this person even an authorized biographer) include Arthurs response from the film?
You should not that elsewhere in this discussion someone much closer to Mr. Adams posted his views on the movie and this fanboys review. I am considering the thoughts both have shared but I am leaning towards the former's more sane and insightful posting here rather then the rant I see as a review.
Longest comedy is probably "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad,World" at 192 Min (Original version) and it had an intermission (or two) unlike todays 3 hour films. The sad news is it was so edited down over the years by #$%^@#$^#@ (I cant find insulting words good enough to describe mt feelings) that this version no longer exists. The best we got is the DVD version at 161 min.
The joke is still there, the fact that he could not easily get to the plans and had to eventually go to the basement. The joke has been shortened and given less impact by the loss of the rest of the dialog. I agree that the original is preferable, but alas we are not the editors. What is arthurs response in the movie version to Mr. Prosser saing "But you did find them, didn't you?"? Tt seems the example from the movie is rather truncated.
Whats wrong with Ford Escort (localized for Americans) being black? In the books the most description you get of him is the flash of his eyes, smile, and that his hair was somewhat curly or was it dark(if I am remembering correctly). Seems to leave a lot of room open for casting anyone as long as they can act the part.
The us version Seems to start up with some stuff from season two as well as season one. So it's kinda strange to watch if you are familier with the British version, but I think they way they americanized it is well done, as it is hard to translate jokes and pop referances. The lead is doing a good job of bringing across the mannerisms of the character that you only notice if you look for them, like the ocasional glance/grin right at the camera, I think he "get's" it and is doing his version of a David Brent style character.
I have tried, but can not think of an American actor who can do a "Jeff". His insane intensity was unmatched by anyone I can think of. My wife and I came up with better matches for the rest of the cast but we are always at a loss for an American actor who can do Jeff.
They said the VCR would do mot then hurt business. Good ol' Jack "The Ripper" Valenti said "I say to you that the VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston strangler is to the woman home alone."
Remember people VCRs KILL!!!! not just the innocent content producer but also the innocent public at large. P2P is viewed by the RIAA in the same way and the RIAA would rather die then change to embrace new ways of doing business.
See the recent register article about Fiona Apple. Whether you like her music or not, no one deserves what SONY has done to her.
Keep you eyes out over the next few months. I'm going to be putting up torrents of the KFMF archives from 1992 to 2000. Tracker will probably be demonoid or something.
IIRC the PSX processor inthe PS2 is used to handle the mem card interface and the controllers. Maybe it was only one of them. From what I remember when you put in a PSX disc the PS2 hands control of the system over to the PSX chip to run the software. So the situation is a lot like how the GBA has a processor that handles the original GB games.
Apparently a drug company had a product that was in trials, but because Pfizer (or one of the other big 'uns) wanted to get their untested drug rammed through the approval process they tied the first company up in court until they dropped the drug (which helped people with peanut allergies live if exposed) and now there is no working drug for you (because it turns out their drug didnt help people with peanut allergies). YAY big Pharma! I saw this on the cover of the wall street journal a few weeks ago and can not remember the details.

So are you saying it's better or worse then the Three Musketeers and the Four Musketeers directed by Richard Lester?

I think you will find the first radio series was 6 half hour episodes (3 hours there) and followed by a special and a second series of 5 episodes.
This 2 hour movie can hardly be able to encompass all that.

I think the zeroth law covers that action. No need for any extra directives or they end up like Robocop in the second film.

For me it's a mix of that and Vietnam footage. I somehow think neither were what was intended originally.
Thats just a lack of common sense.

I cant imagine them finding a better Puddleglum compared to the BBC version.
Bob disagrees.

Because he spent most of his life thinking "Horse

However bad or misguided PETA can be, you do realize that without other species ours will not survive.
My bad, I was going on flaky memory of what I remember seeing back when HL2 was released.
