They're here, they're here!
I received my Twilight DVD in the mail yesterday. Thanks a lot again, Tina. I didn't expect that, but I got another suprise on that day: These two also arrived:

:dancing::dancing::dancing:
Watched NAB already yesterday. Great movie!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 04 Apr 09 :: 18:27

It sure is. Now take your black Sharpie and mark out all the places on the packaging and the DVD itself where it says "Havoc 2" because it's a total disgrace to NAB that they slapped that moniker on this movie that has nothing to do with that utter piece of trash, Havoc.

justme · 04 Apr 09 :: 18:32

In this case (on the front at least) she needs to take Wite-Out to Havoc 2. Why let them ruin the package more than they already have?

Illinoisguy1 · 04 Apr 09 :: 18:44

There must be a reason why Havoc 2 is on there??

New Line did put a Double Feature out, so they must be connected somehow.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 04 Apr 09 :: 19:15

They are not connected in any way.

NAB was not conceived as a sequel. The creators were not even aware of the previous film.

They have no characters or behind the scenes people in common. NAB is a difficult movie that New Line got cold feet about. They didn't know how to sell it so they slapped that moniker on the DVD as a cynical marketing ploy. It was also recut to the degree that the writer, director and Amber hated it. In fact they set up a website to put the screenplay online and encouraged people to bypass seeing the movie and just read the script.

Still, I think NAB is a fascinating, brilliantly acted movie. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind having their notions about sex challenged.

Havoc is unbelievable trash that I would recommend to NO ONE.

See them someday. You'll understand. You can also probably find plenty of articles online about this stuff.

I've never heard of that show Skins, Simon but I'm going to check it out.

I'm happy that you finally got your Amber movies, Anne. : )

Simon · 06 Apr 09 :: 17:39

Got this to add to my expanding collection;

I've never heard of that show Skins, Simon but I'm going to check it out.

It is a good show, but not to everyone's taste. It includes a lot of bad language, drug use, sex and nudity, and these are all coming from under 20's. Although i think in America, they have cut out the sex and nudity.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 06 Apr 09 :: 18:51

Of course they cut the sex out. The people that run American entertainment are such prudes. :fedup:

But damned if they don't love to blow stuff up.

Simon · 06 Apr 09 :: 19:42

Yep that sounds about right. Apparently Skins is very raunchy for American audiences.

I couldn't agree more.

It's the complete opposite in the UK. It's the violence we don't like.

I found a video on youtube which contains some of the milder scenes of nudity from the first series, obviousaly the full frontal shots are missing. I don't know if it's too much for American audiences.

If anyone is interested the link is;

but i must warn you; it contains NAKED PEOPLE! (particularly 18 year olds)

Illinoisguy1 · 07 Apr 09 :: 20:37

Bought theses today.

From Target for $12.99

From Best Buy.

Plus got this 5 inch metal Gort figurine free.

Illinoisguy1 · 07 Apr 09 :: 20:51

I was playing around withe the Stood Still case and looked at the front upside down.

Don't look at the robot, but look at the right side and it kind of looks like a see-through Vulcan head.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 07 Apr 09 :: 22:34

Heh. Yep, it kinda does.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 08 Apr 09 :: 07:11

Family Guys is amazing! I have all of the seasons on DVD. Volume six isn't as great as the earlier seasons but it's still good.

Illinoisguy1 · 11 Apr 09 :: 14:58

Bought this from the Walmart $5 bin.

b11001001 · 12 Apr 09 :: 01:57

Yay! I finally ordered it. It should arrive in a few days. Can't wait. :dancing:

TheCentralScrutinizer · 12 Apr 09 :: 03:17

Great movie, incredible performance from Amber. Left me just stunned at the end. Make sure you listen to the commentary track after you see the movie. Amber's great in that too and you really get a sense of how cool and smart and adorably quirky she is. She's also really insightful about the work. I just loved it.

b11001001 · 12 Apr 09 :: 05:11

From everything you've been telling me about it, I'd been dying to get it. It sounds great. I sure will listen to the commentary after I watch the movie. Thanks!

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 12 Apr 09 :: 08:55

Your going to love Stephanie Daley. Amber Tamblyn is amazing in it!

Simon · 14 Apr 09 :: 22:26

As i'm a massive fan, i bought this;

justme · 15 Apr 09 :: 00:07

I like Dr. Who but I still prefer Tom Bakers. That Dr. Who liked scarves as much as Joan.

Simon · 15 Apr 09 :: 00:21

I'm like a total mark on all eleven Doctors.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 15 Apr 09 :: 01:01

Dave loves the whole thing too, all the Doctors. I never got the fascination myself, but then I like a lot of things nobody else gets. But hey, one of my favorite people in the whole world, Pauline Collins played the Queen in one of the recent series. So that's pretty cool.
