Should you guys even go to that trouble, though? Considering they're going to be listening to a show which has a habit of harsh language and the semi-frequent R-rated story, just bleeping the preview seems like it'd be producing a false impression that would then be corrected by the actual marathon. Or are you referring to somehow bleeping the livestream as well as the hour "teaser"? Sorry if this sounds contrary, because I'm really not intending it that way and I obviously am not someone whose decision-making has anything to do with the show, nor should I be; it's just something that occurred to me.

Guess I'll start the race. Uploading these as soon as Teague PMs me and explains how to.

That's true; Intermission has gotten removed sometimes, but not that removed. So strike my suggestion and consider me in agreement with the Doctor.

Is there any way I can donate besides PayPal? I can't legally use it yet, as I won't be eighteen for another year.

I don't agree in terms of the visual effects and cinematography—most gorgeous movie ever—but in terms of the story itself, yeah, definitely. And while the book is far better, the same holds true for Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?—it's nowhere near Philip K. Dick's best novel, and doesn't touch on many of his central themes as a writer. Seeing people lavish praise on Androids and ignore A Scanner Darkly, Ubik and VALIS always hurts my heart a little (you might actually like VALIS a lot, Dorkman—it's basically a semi-autobiographical, insanely weird mix of sci-fi and theological quest that was written after Dick had an encounter with what he thought was a divine intelligence that left him half-crazy and desperate for answers).

I recently got all nine seasons of the show on DVD for an insanely low price (Amazon clearance), and I'm rewatching a couple per weekend. I was really struck upon re-viewing it just how bad the pilot is. Besides the weak script, I was especially surprised at how subpar the acting was. Duchovny wasn't too bad, but then again Mulder was never really a complex character; Gillian, though, was very stiff and awkward, which surprised me as she's generally the much better performer of the two.

"Squeeze" is always the episode I use to introduce people to the series. It might be the best non-comedic Monster-of-the-Week episode of the show's run, in my opinion; Hutchison's performance as Tooms is wonderfully creepy, Tooms himself is a very original creation, and the script is a perfect showcase of the blend of humor and horror that the best episodes possess. The regular actors are still finding their feet a little, I think, but they're already far better than they were two episodes ago.

I really wish I had seen everyone saying this before I went to see it opening weekend. I saw it in 2D, and as a college student subsisting on mostly ramen and animal crackers I can't justify going to see it again, even though it's without a doubt the best film I've seen in years. For what it's worth, I was just as terrified in 2D, but my chronic fear of open spaces might have something to do with that.

I've only ever read Red October, and thought the film was far superior; Clancy seemed way too obsessed with showing off all the research he'd done rather than just telling the story. Is that a problem with the rest of his works, too, to anyone who's in the know, or do they get better?

Except Luke isn't a Chosen One. They never say that only he could destroy Vader and the Emperor. The business of a Chosen One is never brought up until the Prequels, referring to Anakin, and the guys criticized the prequels heavily for that.

Also, I just have to point out that their criticisms of the Gelflings were perfectly valid—they criticized Bruce in their Jaws commentary, as well, even though they love Jaws. The fact that the Gelflings could have been better given more time and money doesn't matter; in the end, they don't look good, and it's a perfectly legitimate criticism to make.

Also, just because someone's criticism doesn't agree with yours doesn't mean it's invalid criticism or should be addressed as such.

I'm curious, Dorkman--have you ever given any thought to re-writing the final books? Not as in writing actual novels, but like your SW Prequel story treatments.

Oh Lord.

Just thought I'd mention that "The Internet Song" is my alarm for this semester of college, and both my roommates are wondering who the hell the guy on the piano that wakes them up every morning at 6:15 is.
