Nobody "directs" a trailer, since a trailer is an edit of footage that was directed for a film. Somebody edits them, but not the director, although the director may have input.

La Pipe, you missed the dialogue were the Captain mentions that the crew of the Axiom is doing the exact same things their ancestors did.

I see someone just disproved themselves by checking Wikipedia.

Longest Running Sitcom
The record apparently is counted by number of episodes. The previous record holder was The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, which ran only 14 seasons but had 435 episodes, which averages to about 31 episodes a season.

My view on the "book vs. TV" argument is that if a book series is good, there's no reason why it [i]can't[/i] go on forever.

Kevin J. Anderson is such a shitty, shitty writer. He ruins every property he touches, which are numerous, since he writes mostly novels based on other people's works, with or without co-authors.

SS, you miss the genius of the globe scene, which is that Sellers actually spins it for emphasis before he tries to lean on it a few seconds later. So he didn't just lean on a globe and fall, he leaned on something he had every reason to know not to.

Director Henry Selick stated "They actually did some other demo songs that are brilliant, they are beautiful, but the film just kind of changed; it wasn't going to become a musical. I was very happy to work with them and I'd love to work with them on another show where they have like ten songs in it."

Yes, Evan is right. I remember seeing a making-of for Forest Gump before the film came out, and they showed a part of the speech Gump gave with the audio, and it was pretty a simplistic "my friend got killed and I don't think that's right."

The Frost/Nixon interviews spanned 28 hours over 12 days. Those interviews were then edited down to four 90 minute installments. So each installment consisted of multiple interview sessions edited together, with the Watergate interviews compiled for the last installment. So technically speaking, the title is correct.

American Dad has been solid for at least a couple seasons now. You should watch more of it.

Rose not only killed Jack, she killed someone else who could've had her spot on the lifeboat, which completed launch without filling her seat.

I meant two-year old article.

In reply to Rimmer, the bezoar in the artist didn't have any hair in it either; the show described it as a collection of undigested food.

Flying Blind was an awesome show. The awful show Jeremy was thinking of was The Naked Truth, which had a dispiritingly misleading title and aired on ABC, then NBC, then was canceled without anyone noticing or caring.

Great DVD extras
The short animated film REJECTED was released on a limited edition DVD "single" that contained what was labeled a "completely useless commentary" by two of the voice actors for the film. And it IS completely useless, and completely hysterical. The DVD also contained a deleted scene that was just as

All three episode that you mentioned were written by the same person: Darin Morgan.

The story is called "Murder Mysteries." There's a second murder in the story, although you have to pay close attention as a reader to determine what the murder was, and who did it.

Williams was a last minute replacement, but not for Connery. Connery had been courted for the role of Moon King, but never signed on. When the moon sequence was considerably cut back, Connery finally definitively said no, and Michael Palin was promoted from Prime Minister of the moon (a role which had been cut) to the
