I'd guess because it's too easy to OD on many of them, that there may in fact be no "safe" dose. Stopping the 'war on drugs' doesn't mean everything can be sold without a prescription (and smart anti-drug advocates will claim it will in fact mean that, much like gay marriage will lead to polygamy)

Going to various web sites that list podcasts and making sure you're listed on there would be a good idea (googling 'Podcast directory' brings up a bunch of sites). I freely admit I'm too lazy to do it, but if you give us the actual feed address maybe some of us can get it done. Often those using these sites subscribe using links there and never bother going to the podcast's own homepage. In fact, it should be possible for someone to subscribe to the podcast RSS feed right from your homepage without going through iTunes. No reason to turn away Apple haters

There's two aspects of this. On the one hand, it's a way for a preacher to reach a greater number of people over a greater distance. What before required years of travel and trying to draw crowds can be done from home. On the other hand, that wacky message isn't hidden in a church where only those who bother to go to the meetings will hear it. 20 years ago you would never have discovered him.

I think in the end the main effect will be in fact fewer "successful" prophets, as there will be less need for regional cults and the most effective can draw followers from the marginal ones.

It would be interesting to hear you go over some of the old live action Disney stuff.

Actually speaking of old classics, the new "as uncut as we're ever going to get it" print of Metropolis is playing in Buffalo this week. Any chance of you guys doing something that old school?

It's very possible it's an accidental PG-13. That is, they just wrote and filmed what they wanted to and that's the rating it happened to get. They would have been happy with an R, but didn't feel like going back and adding some F-bombs or nudity to get it.

I think it's clear in the first movie Kyle doesn't know he's the father. He just developed a huge crush on this mystery woman that's probably akin to someone really getting into Joan of Arc and then finding themselves going back and meeting her. As Bill and Ted would say, this is a historical babe!

As for what to do with the sequels, I think you have to go all out with the time travel. The first three films are about attempts by the robots to change history. Start with the scene they were going to start T2 with, Conner captures the Terminator's last stronghold and discovers the time machines. After sending back Kyle and the second Arnold, they look around and find evidence of... alternative timelines. Or time loops. Maybe they find footage of them all dying in the assault they just made (or even the bodies). Some indication that in fact they don't always win and in fact they're just reliving a choose your own adventure story where at the end time travel starts the whole process over again in 1984. How can they actually END the war?

The early script linked to in another thread-
http://screenplayexplorer.com/wp-conten … vation.pdf
has just that. The story is Marcus's all the way, with Connor (who's already in charge) just a supporting character. He's contacted when the resistance captures Marcus, arrives after he's escaped and organizes an attack on the seaside condos of the humanoid terminators when he discovers Marcus is going there to rescue Kyle. If filmed that script may not have worked, but many of the problems with what we did get can probably be traced to trying to fit Connor into that structure instead of just starting over.

I was going to complain that the regular version wasn't even in the feed, but I see it's there now-must have been a delay while Teague played with trying to insert the enhanced version. I'm enjoying it, mostly as I'm usually watching the movie on my computer and can have the small iTunes window next to the film (not sure if having playback controls in the cover view is new in iTunes, but I like it ^_^). It is an addition that opens up lots of possibilities. For example, comments on what's being said as in Stephen Colbert's "The Word" segment when someone goes off on an un-researched tangent.

No, I think GB2 would have a hard time counting much past three even if you spotted it the 1 and the 2.

I'll mention the commentary. Having listened to Dorkman's reading of the first draft, someone has to do a fan film using that script

Also, is there any real idea of what Lucas originally planned for episodes 7-9? Obviously, he changes his mind and personal history every time he's asked (which I feel has to be intentional humor on his part), but all I personally know is a comment in the 1987 Starlog magazine celebrating the 10th anniversary of Star Wars. When asked why Luke doesn't get a girl by the end of Jedi, Lucas comments "You haven't seen the last three movies!"

Actually a good test would be to go to a site like http://www.podcastalley.com/ and see if the address for a podcast you already subscribe to is the same as the one you got from iTunes.

Hmm, you guys aren't listed there. Maybe someone should go around to these sites and submit your podcast

ACC is in general smaller, and to be honest even without the enhancement I wouldn't mind a conversion of older stuff to save room given I tend to keep all the episodes. I'd been thinking of combining and compressing some of them as audiobooks as it is. Some of the episodes are unusually large, with 300 at 121 MB while Titanic is only 69 MB. Naturally the enhancements will eat up most of those savings though
