Put it another way: Dark Shadows and Star Trek were on at about the same time and for roughly as long. Star Trek has 79 episodes on DVD. Dark Shadows has:

Considering that a new episode came out EVERY SINGLE DAY for many years the acting is surprisingly good. What it's not is polished, and you're used to seeing polished.

This made me laugh despite the domain name:

"Has there ever been a director in living memory who started out with such promise only to piss it away with such alacrity?"

Having Mads Mikkelsen in the film was distracting, because in comparison everyone else's performances looked like crap.

Ah, yes: Highlander.

Agreed that Memento and LA Confidential were awesome. The Time Machine was terrible but that had nothing to do with Pearce; that is one of those rare movies that had clearly been ruined by bad editing. He was great in it.

New Frontier was awesome. Wonder Woman was fine.

I hated the Fabulous Mr. Fox. I hated the movie and especially the title character. (Had some sympathy for his family and neighbors.) He's an irresponsible, reckless boob who comes this close to getting the people around him killed, and whose motivation for doing so was mere thrillseeking. He doesn't learn his lesson,…

Awesome screen name. The Kurgan is Lex.

Anti what now?
How can you have "everything's connected" as a premise and then be anti-globalization? Everything is connected, except for economies?

I can't see the images if I'm not logged in, on either firefox or IE. But when I logged in they magically appeared. HTH.

Nothing was ripped off
Both pieces use clip art. The big "rip off" is that both pieces use lines instead of the usual wedges for the word balloons. That's it. Color me outraged. (Rounded rectangles aren't usual but there are other examples besides these two.)

Pi doesn't have a last digit
Pi doesn't have a last digit. So the computer should have rejected the request as nonsensical. Also, if the Enterprise's computer can be disabled just by running a CPU-bound job, then it's less sophisticated than Windows 2000.

Also by Thoreau
Has anyone read "A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers"

Hey, it doesn't matter whether he thinks it's cool or not. You have a message to put out; that trumps any claim he might have to control his own property. Just plaster your stickers all over whatever he's got; it's "street" so that makes it OK.

I guess she's anything but fussy.

It's great to read an interview with just Jackson, without the excellent but you-can't-shut-him-up-with-a-shovel Doc Hammer.

Not a cost-cutting measure
Remove special features from rental DVDs is not a cost cutting feature, especially given that (at least in the single-DVD case) it doesn't save any costs. Rather, it's an attempt to segment the market into standard and premium product, and to make rentals seem less attractive, since they…

If we're talking Robot Chicken, 2 Kirks, a Khan and a Pizza Place can't hold a candle to le Wrath di Khan:
