I watched Southland Tales yesterday and a few things best describes it.
Weird, strange and emotional.
And I really liked it and it goes into my list of my favorite films of all time.

Here is a link to a whole bunch of pics of some of the cast filming a scene or something.

The movie is the same in both versions until the things invade his house and the 3 of them go down to the lab and hide behind the plexiglass. Everything is the same until the main zombie guy starts to crash into the glass, after a while he stops and that is when it changes from the theatrical cut.
I could describe it to you more if you want.

Watched I am Legend today.
I thought it was good, but it's not a film I'll watch often. Of course the saddest part was with the dog. But what kind of bugged me is that Smith's character kind of went borderline nutty. If he didn't worry about the damn mannequin he wouldn't have fallen into the trap and of course the dog wouldn't have gotten infected. So it was his own fault what happened to the dog. I really wish that didn't have to happen to the dog.
The ending is a downer.
I don't know if I should tell you about the alternate ending. But I will say that in a strange way it was touching with the main zombie thing and the cured "girlfriend" being reunited.
Will Smith is great in the film.

Finally was able to score a copy. I haven't watched it yet, but once I do I'll let you know what I think of it.

I think they made a less expensive stripped-down version and then another with an extra disk and lots of extras, commentaries, etc.
Actually no, the 2 disc set only has a few digital comics and some other things which can only be seen via the internet. The 2nd disc is just the other version.
I've been watching a few episodes of the UFO series I recently bought. I really thought it was going to be along the lines of Gerry Andersons other kiddie show The Thunderbirds - but it isn't really like that. It's much more adult in nature. Of course some things are really dated, such as the sexism and just about everyone smokes in the series. Plus the fx are obviously bad by todays standards. I have read some things online that compares it to the new series 'Torchwood', which I haven't seen or heard of before.
For a blind buy I actually like the show. Once I got into it I easily overlooked the FX and got into the storyline.

According to his mom, he doesn't want that anyway --- huge stardom. He just wants to be a successful, busy actor doing work he can be proud of.
That's one way to go and perhaps he'll have a very long career - perhaps as a character actor.

I don't know if he's arrogant, but likely just made a dumb mistake where to smoke. Evidently in L.A. you can't smoke in certain locations.
Illinois passed a law where you can't smoke in any public place went into effect January.
On July 23, Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) signed a statewide public smoking ban. As of January 1, smoking will be illegal in restaurants, bars, nightclubs, workplaces, and all public buildings. Smoking will also be banned within 15 feet of building entrances, exits, and windows.
Individuals who violate the ban will be fined $100 to $250 per instance. Businesses could be fined at least $250 for the first violation of allowing smoking on their premises. A minimum fine of $2,500 would be doled out to businesses that violated the law three times within one year.

Yelchin is Reese in New Terminator
Source: The Hollywood Reporter
March 19, 2008
Anton Yelchin (upcoming Star Trek, Charlie Bartlett) is in negotiations to star as post-apocalyptic warrior Kyle Reese in director McG's new Terminator movie, says The Hollywood Reporter.
With production scheduled to start in early May, Paul Haggis also has been in talks about coming on board to work on the script.
Yelchin will play a teen version of Reese, the man who fathered world savior John Connor in the original "Terminator" film.
Christian Bale will play John Connor in the film, produced by the Halcyon Co. and set for a Warner Bros. release on May 22, 2009.
Reese, one of the children who survived a machine-driven nuclear holocaust, befriends Marcus (Sam Worthington), an early edition of the Terminator cyborg played in previous films by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
In McG's film, the character is a young version of the one played by Michael Biehn, who traveled back in time in the original to impregnate Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) and father the world's future savior.
The film picks up with their son (Bale), now in his 30s, fighting desperately to save a decimated civilization against machines that have taken control.
Halcyon's Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson are producing with Moritz Borman. David Campbell Wilson, John Brancato and Michael Ferris wrote the screenplay. Principal photography is set to begin in early May.

I remember those 2.
You're not going to believe this - well maybe you will, but it looks like they are making another one called 'Race to Witch Mountain' with The Rock starring.
#1165 Re: Square Eyes » Post your recent DVD purchases » 18 Mar 08 :: 18:35
I got the steelbook edition of I am Legend from Best Buy.
I would have gotten Southland Tales as well, but BB didn't even have it and Circuit City was already sold out. Looks like I'll have to buy it from amazon.com.
So I got the Kurt Russell flick Breakdown for $3.99 from CC.
#1166 Re: Chris On Screen » Alpha Dog (STRONG LANGUAGE & ADULT CONTENT) » 16 Mar 08 :: 21:02
Just thought I'd let you know that Circuit City will have the dvd on sale for $5.99 the week of March 23-29.

I thought some would like to see some of the DVD artwork from around the world.
Got these from the DVD Profiler program - so they are all legit since they don't allow bootlegs to be contributed.

About 10 years ago I used to live in another town. Once a bad storm went through and I didn't think much of it, but the local news channels showed that a funnel cloud was very close to where I lived. Perhaps it even went over my house.
Luckily, it never touched down, but that was the closest that a tornado ever came to me.
#1169 Re: Off Topic Stuff » Randomness » 15 Mar 08 :: 18:21
This past week we had 2 days in the 50's and now today it's cloudy and only around 36 now. Those 2 days were terrific, could actually go outside without a coat on.
Glad to hear that you're ok Deb. Hopefully nothing more will happen.
#1170 Re: Square Eyes » Post your recent DVD purchases » 15 Mar 08 :: 18:16
Got these 2 from the Walamrt $5 bin.
and got this one from Barnes & Noble.
Had a $20 gift card, so this cost me just $10 plus tax.

CNN is reporting that a tornado hit Atlanta. They are showing damage to a sports dome and Atalanta.
#1172 Re: Square Eyes » Post your recent DVD purchases » 14 Mar 08 :: 20:45
Got these today.
#1173 Re: Square Eyes » I Am Legend » 13 Mar 08 :: 19:59
Best Buy will have the 2-disc set in a Steelbook for $22.99.
So I'll buy that one - they tend to sell out quickly.
This is what the Steelbook looks like minus the Blu-Ray logo:

Never mind, the video won't work.
#1175 Re: Square Eyes » Post your recent DVD purchases » 08 Mar 08 :: 21:45
Actually the first season of The Rookies is out on DVD.
List Price is $49.95, with an in-store price of around $40.
Who knows if they'll release the entire series or not eventually, but if it goes like how S.W.A.T. did then the first season may be the only season that gets released.
