On the flipside, sometimes a remake can make the original, smaller known movie more famous and have that first film enter the public spotlight.
It is rare, but it can happen. I see the press for the Let Me In/Let The Right One In and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo American remakes mention the originals a lot and I know some people who went to see the originals because of that press. -
I just wanted to make this thread to say I hope the 3XK does not go after Alexis, Ashley, and Martha. That phone call from Martha, where they were throwing at everyone's names like willy-nilly, plus Castle remarking upon why 3XK let him live, scared me into some foreshadowing.

I once heard of psychic contortionist who foresaw their own end.

Dammit, Janet! I mean, Marcian!
I am excited for this and I am not even a huge Rocky Horror fan. -
I with you, Marcian, I don't think a new version of something invalidates the old one. In fact, as you point out with Shakespeare, we've been doing it for ages.
I do think one complaint hinges on the fact that we view ourselves as stupid. People think, subconsciously or not, that the new thing will become more well known than the old thing, the thing they love, and the version they love will be forgotten. They don't think people wil lbe able to differentiate between We're in Love (1979) and Love, We Are In (2010, Yoda Version). It's not so much that the old work will be erased by the new one, but it will be tossed aside by newer versions. -
Good, bad, I'm the guy with the frock!

Just to be clear, I pretty much figured you knew about/already had the album, I was mainly posting to point out about him performing with the band.
THANK YOU

I like the time it was posted: "A long time ago."

Question: What is cooler than Weezer putting out an album called Hurley?
Answer: Weezer actually performing WITH Hurley!
Yes, I still like Weezer, though I am told hipsters say they've stunk since Pinkerton.
Yes, I saw Weezer in concert a few months ago and they still rock. -
Since Glee is a rerun tonight, to fill that void, here is some Glee stuff on the internetz:
Glee Arts & Crafts
And, uh, a racy GQ photoshoot with Corey Monteith, Dianna Agron, and Lea Michele -

Yeah, I am conviced the change in DNA/them constantly being referred to as E.T.s is just a red herring.
Add in the fact they speak perfect English and easily recognized vaccuum tubes, they at least knew a lot about where they were heading. -

Or how much you eat. Even multi-grain bread is bad for you if you eat a whole wheelbarrow of it.

Only really half-watched this, so I may be missing a few things. But my thoughts:
I got two big Lost flashbacks (heh) tonight: the Leila/Sean call reminded me of the Penny/Desmond call from The Constant and the Vicky situation, her refusal to kill a baby and then raising it as her own, and Sean trying to leverage her son against her reminded me of Ben, Alex, and Keamy's confrontation, with a little happier ending. While Vicky isn't as complex as Ben is right now, I wonder if the show is trying to slide her into that role, one where she is the villain and ends up playing up both sides for her own gain.
Has anyone commented yet on the fact that the aliens seemed prepared to crash in the cold, with their dress? They sure looked at least somewhat warm in their clothing. The definitely did not make a wrong turn at Albuquerque
Thomas was made out to be a wuss. Next episode looks like he'll get some of his bad mojo back.
Finally, the highlight of the episode (and last) was the dad from Boy Meets World playing evil as Bad Cop. -
Quote:True, but The Expendables had the bigger acting pedigree (in terms of big names), director (Edgar Wright only made British films to that point, funny British films, but still "foreign" director), and even "source material" (small, almost unknown comic versus winking nod to a whole decade of action movies).Originally Posted by UltraTroll
Wait Scott Pilgrim was made by a Major Movie studio made at 75 Million while Expendables was much smaller budget a fraction of what they used to make and promote Scott Pilgrim and Expendables was mostly a small budget film from a small film company.
Goliath was Scott Pilgrim and Expendables was David. It turned out people wanted Expendables made at 25 million not the 75 million Scott Pilgrim was.
Regardless of the Fans of Scott Pilgrim wanting to say they were the small film that got jipped by the public at large. The film was in fact the big Hollywood film.
One can say the bigger budget and promotional push of Scott Pilgrim was an effort to turn the David aspect of the actual movie content and people involved into a Goliath and it failed as it turned out the man with the big biceps and bigger guns were the Goliath. -
My future self has no comment.
I am not 100% convinced it is By His Bootstraps, but will settle on eventually (re)reading(?) it to find out.
I have another time travel short story I need help identifying, but will save that for another day. -

No, but you can render them incapable of harming anyone else ever again, as well as turn the sand around them into decorative glass! Pretty! Sparkly!

Also, like previous shots of Reynolds in the suit, it may just be a prop that is in a "transitional" state, that is, not being fully used and will only be seen for a few minutes on screen.
Perhaps it only glows when it is used to recharge or when it first is pulled out of nowhere. -
Add in the fact that Artie was suprised that Brittany would act that way, while the show has never hid the fact that Brit does have this reputation (and even references that in the episode), it seemed like the writers' purposely put Artie in this big blind spot just to get to his speech at the end.
