Is it the theatrical cut or the director's cut? I'm going to guess theatrical since I don't remember seeing a director's available until a couple years ago.

I may have to try that this weekend.

No one ever listens to me…

I saw this movie on its opening night. When I got home I turned on some late night movie review show and their clip was the scene where Mr. Hand explains the plot to Murdoch. If I hadn't already seen the movie I'd probably have wanted to stab someone.

PBS had an animated series called "Liberty's Kids" that did a Nathan Hale episode. I was impressed that it both showed how easily he got caught, and didn't really sugar coat what happened to him, while also not explicitly showing the hanging.

That doesn't make it better!

I'm kicking myself for missing this show. On the plus side, the lack of the article "the" before the band name Eels in the article makes me happy.

Find someone who's asleep, take an item. Then put it back. Giving people stuff helps for the skill. You can get your pickpocket levels pretty high just by stealing and returning the same item over and over.

I thought the video was a "Jules et Jim" reference. Which, yeah, is basically about a threesome.

Which owes a ridiculous amount to Wild Wild West.

The SyFy reboot irritated me because it seemed like they made a concerted effort to pronounce every name differently than it was in the Lynch movie. Having Fremen children playing outside without stillsuits, and then dragging things along behind them when out in the desert (I'm assuming to erase footprints, which is…

It's played at something like 20 times speed, so you don't actually get to hear dialogue and it takes about five minutes to watch.

Screw that, I've been complimented by Ellison.

I thought Will Smith in the role of the villain might have worked, but thought then (and still do) that a remake is completely unnecessary.

It came out on Bluray in the states a couple months back, along with "Les Barbouzes". I picked them both up because Lino Ventura is awesome. I'll have to kick them ahead in the queue now.

Considering they had a firefight at warp speed in the last movie, I'd guess no. But that is assuming they cared about consistent technology, and I don't think the writers of that dreck were overly concerned about anything like that.

I first heard of this movie from Ellison at a panel at MiniCon a couple years back.  I've occasionally been looking for it now and again, and am looking forward to nabbing a Criterion version of it.  Yay for procrastinating.

The Long Earth was the start to a series?  I had a love hate relationship with that book.  It brought up a ton of interesting ideas and scenarios, but I didn't care about the main plot or characters.  I would have been more interested in it as a future history book.  I was sort of pissed at how it just ends with no…

That should be:

I was convinced that there would be a reveal that he was Siphodeus, since they kept throwing that name around in the second movie to set up the jedi that comissioned the Clone army.
