  1. Re:Which is better? Dish or DirecTV on Echostar/Dish Network Pulls Viacom Channels · · Score: 2, Informative

    "Dual Tuner DVRs are hard to find in the satelite industry."

    Huh? I'm pretty sure all the DirecTv Tivos are dual tuner -- i know mine is.

  2. Re:Can he (or anybody) repeat it the glory though? on Peter Jackson Says "Hobbit" Movie In The Works · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Actually, I think the Hobbit can be even more successful on it's own -- it's more a classic children's story, with a story structure well made for film. No odd endings either.

    And it has a Dragon! ;)

  3. Re:Nonsense... on Saruman Completely Cut from 'Return of the King' · · Score: 1

    "how are they going to do the final scenes where the Shire is completely decimated"

    Easy...they're not. The scouring of the Shire isn't part of the movie. My guess it will end where we all think it will.

  4. Old News... on The Next Generation of ILOVEYOU:The Porn Worm · · Score: 1

    This virus has been out since July 1999 according to NAI. Check out http://vil.nai.com/villib/dispvirus.asp?virus_k=10 225
    for the info. Seems like this would be more of a cousin to Melissa rather than ILOVEYOU.

  5. Re:The seventh trumpet before the doom of yet anot on The Simpsons The Movie? · · Score: 1
    You know, this kind of rant goes on with every show that has been on for numerous seasons.

    Yeah, The Simpsons may not be as great as they were, but it's still one of the better shows on TV. And while they may not hit the mark as often as they did (or we would now like, since expectations are higher), it still rarely fails to create LOL humor.

    As for the hype of killing Maude, I believe it was sweeps week, and all the networks were hyping their shows. Nothing draws viewers like sensationalism! How else could that other crap on Fox air? (Who wants to Marry...?)

    Besides, it was just 2 seasons ago which produced the chili cook-off episode...a true classic and one of the best of all time. After 10 years, ideas just don't seem as original as our expectations for brilliance are too high.

    A movie could work...although I'd rather see another season than a movie...
