The Star Wars porn is, in fact, good. Better than Pink Five in some ways, to be honest. Each two-DVD set comes with a version of the movie with the sex removed, perfect for showing in public. However, for some god damned reason they put an auto playing graphic phone sex ad at the start of that DVD. So, you'll have to have it already cued up on the player before inviting Grandma to watch smile

I'm not talking about dubbing over swearing. I'm talking about doing an entire new take of a scene with the cast saying new dialog. In Ghostbusters, the TV version has Bill Murray saying "Well, wasn't that a load of fun" or some such when he comes out of the hotel ballroom, instead of his "We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass!" You can tell he probably only agreed to one take of that version smile He also has a different joke instead of the "dickless" line, with a different setup. In Animal House, they filmed it once with women topless, and once with them in bras. I saw the bra version on TV long before I ever saw the theatrical version. Some of this footage even slipped into the main movie: when the guys are fleeing the Black nightclub on their road trip, the girl who jumps out the car window still has her bra on while it was long gone a scene earlier. Obviously, the editor liked the bra take better than the topless one, and figured nobody would notice. Well, either that, or the girl refused to do the stunt without some protection.

Try Paperhouse, a good British film from 1988. A girl draws a house, dreaming that there is a sick boy living in it.

On the other end of the spectrum, Sleepaway Camp. Don't read anything about it, just watch it smile

You know, maybe part of the problem is having the producer and script editor be the same person. Yes, I know, it's the modern way for a TV series to have one show runner who does everything, but that's not the only way to do a series. If there was someone with almost equal power to bump heads with Moffat, we'd probably have a better show.

I think the difference is, fan fiction is often the equivalent of "if I was the writer of the sequel, this is how I'd do it!" Fan edits can come off as "here's how I would have done your job better."

It also might never exist smile The fact the Watch project started after his death could mean it was one of those ideas he had no interest in but which now became possible. One aspect of a company with a strong visionary leader is it tends to stick to that one person's vision. We need more than one company tossing lots of money into R&D, to vary what we get, but at the moment in this area it's only Apple.

Heh. I'm not sure how the Deer are in France, but locally they love living in suburban areas. Their population has actually grown as there is no hunting, their only predator being cars. You see a new dead one in the road every day. I had a baby deer jump on top of my car a few years ago on a busy bridge. Slid right off my back window.

A month ago, I came across a mother trying to teach her baby how to cross the street. She did this by standing in the middle of the road at noon, waiting for the line of cars in each direction to just vanish, while her kid stood by the side of the road wondering what the hell his mom was thinking. I finally just tapped the gas, startling them into running away.

The 80's action movie: its rise and fall. For a brief period of time action movies were, if not great, FUN. Why did that start, and why did it end?

I was born a month after Woodstock. All I have to do is throw the movie soundtrack in smile

Hey, I've had dates which didn't last that long smile

I assumed they had at least met. Lots of friends of friends in the entertainment biz.

Interesting episode. It does not sound like the type of documentary I would ever watch, which says much more about me than anything else. Weirdly, while I have no idea who she is, every mention of something I WAS familiar with made me more invested in her story. OK, you taped this at Earwolf. I listen to one podcast from them, How Did This Get Made. So, that made me pay attention. Then she mentioned two of the hosts of that show are assisting her. Oh! Well, that's interesting! If that had been slipped in up front I would have been even more invested. It's stupid, but probably a part of human nature.
