I know…I love me some 'Dark City', and was really looking forward to an amazing film-making career from Proyas. Oh, well.

I struggled on that wording.

From the Extended Edition extras, my takeaway is that It wasn't so much the green screen itself, as the need to act with an entire roomful of dwarves (and a hobbit) who weren't present. That would kill anyone, I think. It's one thing to pretend there's a Balrog in front of you, it's another thing to perform a complex…

It occurs to me now that that's a great way to have a stream of fertile-aged women as occasional guest stars (although I guess I don't remember a great deal of time spent at his practice).

I think I do a good job of separating the art from the artists, but it's especially hard in this case, probably because Cosby's best known work has always blurred the lines between his real and his performing identities.

It amazes me how a show that lasted 1/2 of a season seems endlessly quotable.

Yes, the scenes that calmed down and let Martin Freeman *act* were great. So few, so far between.

Riddles in the Dark was awesome, everything I would have hoped for. And so simple. So very simple…That should have been a clue, perhaps.

I kinda liked him in the second film, but, damn…the third film…

I was shocked to find I prefer the Extended Editions of the first two movies. While the theatrical releases are over-stuffed with boring exposition, overlong action, and unnecessary side plots, the extra material in the Extended Editions is mostly some surprisingly good character moments, some songs, and the like -…

I stopped watching after that segment. Still haven't gone back to it.

Uhura upskirt comments are an appropriate response in any and all comment threads.

Well, you're my hero, so at least there's that.

Exactly.

Still a Pinko name.

In my heart of hearts, Brontosaurus has always been real. What kind of name is "Apatosaurus", anyway? Sounds communist to me.

No brontosaurus appears in the film. That's a brachiosaurus. (Also, technically, there is no such thing as a "brontosaurus".)

I don't care if they're awful people as long as they use their professional expertise to judge the craft of the nominees to end up with deserving winners.

No one can get "Memento" right. He had *anterograde* amnesia, not retrograde. He remembered everything up to the onset of the problem, and then did not make any *new* memories after that time.

They played the shit out of Spiderland on the Oberlin College radio station 1991-1992-ish.
