Performance art, i love it. You tell em Greg, we're on your side. Hey, at least they didn't yell at you to shut up with a straight face for saying "this is the worst commentary ever " while they were waiting around during the live chat; and this shortly after they started taking donations based on your suggestion.

That's a very nice, dreamy kind of illustration. Wiki says Japan launched 9,000 of those things. Scary shit.

That's a good example of when filmmakers say "vote for the type of movie you like with your ticket-buying dollar", the answer is: it's not that easy. I don't want cinemas to disappear like drive-ins or like music on physical media, but it's so easy now. If i was a theatre owner i'd sell it and get into the ISP business, everyone's going to just stream movies.

Maybe this movie (which i haven't seen yet) should've been marketed as "it only cost $15,000". It's like i want to go see movies made in my country but which ones (if any) are they? They never say in the trailers or ads.

Zombie Vampire Justin Biebers: They suck blood from your brains and their hair looks fabulous.

Do you have a link, i've never heard that. I always took the odd casting of François Truffaut to mean his character was the only "enlightened" person in the movie, and that Spielberg believed.

There should be a car chase, a fist fight and an adorable animal sidekick. Maybe an orangutan.

I'll settle for an Executive Producer credit.

Picard's not enough for that one, we need to go full retard.

Damn, that looks great. Dick is so badass it can roar underwater! Exciting trailer, great music.

I'd like to place an order for a DVD autographed by Trey and Megaforce's Barry Bostwick right now, please.

Looks like the costumes aren't happening so how about best movie going experiences?

1)  Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.  When me and 3 buds (wasted) saw the part where Chow Yun-fat chases Zhang Ziyi we were like 'wtf?' A lot of the audience reacted too. I looked over incredulously to my friend who was laughing and he said "they're flying". Always makes me smile.
2)  Weekend at Bernie's.  It was popular, i went with a date, the theatre was packed. Everyone laughed their guts out. Next time a saw it (either on vhs or tv) it was 'meh'. There's something really special about sharing an experience like that with a big theatre full of people.
3)  Dune.  I really wanted to see this thing. I had already read the tie-in paperback. I drive with my older brother to the nearest theatre 50 miles away, in my POS '76 plymouth fury wagon, in a blizzard with foot-high snow drifts on the highway. I fell asleep. We met a young couple who were stranded and gave them a ride to a motel back home, which was halfway to where they were going. They asked if i'd be willing to drive them home the next morning and make some money. I agreed even though my brother didn't like it because of the snow. I had recently gotten my first car and i wanted to drive and drive. The next morning i can barely get to the car because of the snow. I call them up and they ended up taking a taxi all the way home. Not really pleasant, but memorable.
4)  Contact.  During the long silence at the beginning, munch munch munch of people eating popcorn.
5)  Uncle Buck.  In downtown Toronto on a nice summer afternoon looking for work. I decide i'll go see a matinee which i'd never done before. Hart warming movie. A pleasant experience that stuck with me.

If you have some stories please share.

Otherwise, top 5 modern buildings.

A talented crew indeed working on DIF.

They should probably do the director's cut. Is the theatrical even available on dvd or bluray? I'd choose the theatrical because it has a bit more of the weird 70s vibe, which is one of the things i like about it, but that's me.

To be honest i'm glad Phase II never got made. It would've been awful. Would it have had Kirk/Spock/McCoy? Ilia was already cast for it. I love her (i wish) but not every week, especially it she was meant to replace Spock. Although, a chick from the sex planet offers lots of story ideas. But the FX would've been bad; no better, or worse than TOS. There was no ILM to call in the mid-70s. Or maybe it would've been the best Trek ever, we'll never know.

Sorry to be confusing. I was talking about the 'live-in-person' thing mentioned at the top of this topic. Not important, i was just curious.

I like Tron but haven't seen 2012 yet. Not a big John Cusack fan.
