I remember being so stoked that a WC movie was actually made. I guess I never thought WC had a broad appeal outside of gaming circles, so I was really surprised to see it on the big screen. When I went I wanted to see TPM trailer too, but I certainly would have gone to a WC film regardless. My...

That was something that didn't come out during the trial testimony. We found out after it was over. There were 2 alternate jurors who sat with us in case someone got sick or was dismissed early. They heard all of the testimony we did and were finally released from the jury once the 12 of us...

Professional criminal or non-professional? Hmmm..... I think that is kind of like saying someone is a professional mechanic or a professional teacher. Some are simply better than others to be sure, but what makes one a professional? I'm sure there are plenty of guys out there who know how to...

QUARTO: Well said per usual. Both sides in this debate raise some interesting points. Clearly this remains a very divisive issue and will so for some time to come. Still, I have found and continue to find myself leaning more in the direction of ownership rights. I own 3 guns: one rifle...

Maybe I heard wrong on this, but haven't you folks in the UK already had season two on television, and weren't you shown season one several months before us in the States?

I lived in Orlando for about 3 years and got to see several shuttle and rocket launches. The shuttle launches at night were truly spectacular. Several of us would make our way to the roof of the hotel where I worked and check it out. Even from over 50 miles away the shuttle's engine exhaust...

So, how many of you saw the season premiere last night? What did you think? It looks like they've already got several interesting plot lines set up for this season.

The library where I work has begun converting its VHS collection to DVD. Recently we got in several of the old Clint Eastwood "Spaghetti Westerns." A Fist Full of Dollars and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly were great!

Hmmmm.....I have several films I keep in my home office and play once a week or so while I'm working away from my job. I don't ever watch them with anyone else so maybe they are guilty pleasures? Included are the Mad Max trilogy, Red Planet, Event Horizon, Pitch Black, Battlestar Galactica...

I am the Nightrider! Step right up chum, and watch the kid lay down a rubber road right to freedom!:cool: Those movies are classics. I think the original still holds the record for most money ever made versus cost to produce. I've read that the director literally put everything he had...

Gotta go along with this. It was clearer to me the second time I watched it. Palpatine took a page from Ali: Rope-A-Dope. He baited Windu in, forced Anakin to make an immediate choice, and wham! Smack-down!

I got my first copy sans calendar with a smashed box for $63. It came as part of an eBay lot of WC games. The KS was not mentioned in the auction title or its description- I saw the box in the photographs. I bought my second copy still in the shrink wrap from an Origin employee for about $200...

WC, 2nd PC game I ever bought. I couldn't get over how cool it was (still is). I got so immersed in the plot and game play. Origin made me a fan for life from day 1.

Our local theater owner has been a family friend for about 25 years. He isn't a huge Star Wars fan but has some awesome memorabelia he's collected over the years. You guys should see his office- loaded with Sci-Fi film collectibles. He let me in to see TPM and ATOC 30 minutes before the ticket...

Yeah, I'd buy the guy a beer too after running interference for him so he could get away from the cops. Please McGruff, do tell?

But there is a unifying or common structure- the Church. No, it isn't a human being, and no one person speaks for all Protestants. But that does not make them powerless individuals. In fact, I'd argue quite the opposite- when they act collectively (see my last post for an example close to home)...

Political influence? Not so- ask any Liberal Democrat in the US who he or she "blames" for the re-election of GWB- the most often answer given is the "Religious Right," meaning Conservative Protestants- Christians. Protestantism is not represented/united by a single individual because, unlike...

First PC owned: Tandy 386SX-25, 85MB HD, 2MB RAM, 3.5" floppy, DOS 5.0, Win 3.1, a great WC machine back in the day. It was even better after I added a soundcard, speakers, and a gamecard for joystick action. It wound up as my mother's computer when I bought my first Pentium. One day, a couple...

PayPal prefers that you use a bank account to pay for purchases because, unlike using a credit card, it costs them nothing to process the transaction. They really push you in that direction. You can’t become “verified” with PayPal until you give them a bank account number, and some sellers will...

Patton, Das Boot, A Bridge Too Far- all great films. I liked Midway, even with the F9F crash footage- used again in The Hunt For Red October, wasn't it? My favorite would have to be The Bridge on the River Kwai. Did you guys see Empire of the Sun?
