At least half my collection isn't available for streaming. And you can't stream director's commentaries or other extras—or even subtitles, for the most part.

re: number of commentaries... By my count, John Pavlich has released 171 commentaries. Teague has participated in 160 released commentaries. That puts the two of them among the top 4 or so* most prolific commentators and THE top-producing MOVIE commentators.

* The others are Al Jean and Mike Scully, one or both of whom are on nearly every commentary on The Simpsons boxed sets, but those are 22-minute TV eps. (Note: this doesn't count MST3K episodes as "commentaries".)

I wish more Struzan posters were boobalicious like that.

That really really slick. Well acted; great effects. Storywise, I suspect Rod Serling got there first, but the execution is terrific.

The odd things at the top of the first pic are 750 GB hard drives that are extensions to my DVR and together hold about 300 HD movies.

Glad we did this. Now I can see what I have in my collection even when I'm traveling.

Discoveries:

• Hey, I own Monty Python's Meaning of Life!

• Hey, I own The Magnificent Seven!

• Hey, where's The Simpsons Eighth Season?

• Hey, where are Fringe seasons 1 and 2?

• Hey, I own a LOT of children's movies for a guy who does not own children

• Hey, my Hovitos fertility idol has become separated from my Indiana Jones movies

That's hilarious, altho some are unfair. "Look at my face", "ya think?", and a few others are just common sayings anybody might put in a script.

Well, the point is that Sorkin's characters don't talk like three-dimensional individual people. They all talk like Aaron Sorkin.

I'll tell you what's unforgivable....

Nobody ever says it cheerfully when friends arrive unexpectedly.

Can you blame him? Look at this!

Can you even tell which one is Benicio Del Toro and which one is Talisa Soto?!

Yeah, broken families are naturally just more interesting, so everything from Greek mythology to folk tales to comic book superheroes to sitcoms are full of orphans and children of single parents and women impregnated by gods.

That last one is admittedly less common today, but I think it's true of at least one character on Glee.

Sister has my camera, but here's a placeholder from a couple of years ago....

But even so, they didn't need to make the scenes with Sinestro resemble the Jedi Council scenes in the prequels. Arrange the dudes in two rows or a half-circle or on screens or walking thru in a garden or sitting around a table—anything.

EDIT: And to be clear, I don't think a movie needs a big, elaborate training sequence or even an '80s montage set to a cool rock song. Just indicate the passage of time at some point, so the hero's training isn't 3 continuous minutes.

I watched Green Lantern last night. It's very much by-the-numbers, but there's nothing particularly objectionable. It cribs a lot from the Star Wars prequels, of all things, for the Green Lantern Corps.

Also, I'm baffled as to why film makers don't want to give a hero a proper training montage. It's all "Try to do this. No, no, no! You're hopeless!" Then the apprentice flips the master and training is over.

In all, if it had had some sharper dialog, it would have been a good superhero movie.
