    Thirdly, not everyone has a DVD player. Some people live in a place where they're hard to get.

    thats it, Im through, there is nothing worth watching anyway, so good-bye boob-tube, we had some good times in the past, twilight zone, Barney Miller, MASH, I love Lucy, Hogans Heros, Bugs Bunny and Road Runner, but today it is nothing but drivel like "When batchlorettes in Alaska go bad 3" Its not worth it anymore, and this just seals the deal.

    they arent talking about a DoS attack & they arent talking about defacing someones website. they are talking about air traffic contol systems, stoplight controls on busy intersections, railway switching programs, nuclear powerplant software and other things that have the potential to cause graet harm...

    while many do not like the Moroder version, the quality of the restoration was very good, and was closer to the story than most of the butchered copies out there right now.

  23. Re:Wasn't there a version with a Queen soundtrack? on Metropolis Reconstructed · · Score: 2

    unless they found a BUNCH of reels of film, they can't say restored most. 7 of the 17 reels (3301 ft) of the film are missing, thanks to them shortening it for "American audiences".
