I'm too lazy to link to Youtube videos, but here's some of my favorites:

The Wake of Magellan by Savatage. before the group morphed into Trans Siberian Orchestra, Savatage did some great concept albums. This one could easily swap places with Dead Winter Dead.

Selling England By The Pound by Genesis.

Duke by Genesis. Depending on my mood, you could swap in Wind and Wuthering as far as what's the best of the Phil Collins era.

Haunted by Poe. She only did two albums that I can see, but this tribute to her late father is incredible.

The 13th Floor by Sirenia. Narrowing it down to one particular album from this group is hard, but I find myself going back to this one again and again.

This is an interesting example of culture clash, really. A big budget US movie where a female character DOES have her gender become an issue would probably be laughed at, or at least be considered old fashioned. Similarly, a movie about women in the US military might be laughed at in nations like Israel, where women have served in combat for years.

There's no reason why they would have seen the movie. Just as the cover art for books is often done by someone who just has a synopsis, so movie poster art (especially back then) is probably based on a few publicity stills.

I do agree. I thought, when it first happened, that STEAM selling Mac games would be great. After all, we had been ignored for years, and now the floodgates would open. Now I'll pay more for a non-Steam version of a game, only using the service if I want to play a Valve game. Dragon Age 2 as well, apart from the problems with the game itself, was incredibly annoying with its demand you sign in online. I was already ignoring Sims 3, and if Sim City is online only that's another franchise that's losing a customer.

As for old online games being unplayable now, I don't have a problem with a game having a limited lifespan. There are old play by mail games I doubt the old address are still valid for

Here's the question: Was the 70's cartoon more serious than this version?

Probably because enough domestic films were produced there was no need. We also either got the low end, badly dubbed Italian or Japanese films, or the highbrow art movies. None of the middle of the spectrum stuff that would appeal to most people.

It does seem like a live action anime, but without the teen angst or half naked teen girls (there was one show where the mech got more powerful as the two teens inside got aroused).

And meanwhile the guy's wife is standing there going, "I invited her over to go over some recipes. Put the damned guns away, Hank."

Has anyone listened to the DVD commentary? I'd love to know if they actually go into who was responsible for what.

You have to admit, the idea of people working in media expecting to get paid is rather old school. Sell t-shirts or something

It's actually an Atheist musical. I mean, take a look at it: Jesus at no time performs a miracle. Judas is shown at having a legitimate point, especially when you consider that 30 years later the Jews DID rise up, and Rome destroyed the temple. You'll often see productions done in a religious way (I saw a touring version that had demons tempting Judas during his opening song), but that's not what Tim Rice had in mind.

Bible scholar Robert Price has a book where he considers JSC as an actual Gospel, which at some point I'll have to get.

Say what you will, though, such things make it easier to pick out the idiots and assholes. If they were afraid to say it, you'd never know.
