2001: I could never watch that movie for more than ten minutes. It's just too psychadelic...

I like the new release date too. I don't know anyone who won't be seeing it within a week or two, and the theaters will now be less packed on Saturday!

I am going to orginize a groupe from the office to go to Star Wars. We've done it in the past with Trek, and had as many as eleven go together. I think we can get even more for this one.

I hate to admit watching Battlestar Galactica, but I did, as recently as last year, Sci-Fi was running them and I watched them again. The writing was pretty bad, but I didn't expect as much from them, so I liked it anyway

I hope they keep the overall look of the vessels, but redesign the bridge (and other) sets to appear less "retro".

"The one, the only, THE 359!"

And for my money, they should move Armageddon to the horror section...it's that bad. MHO of course.

Futher I would lobby for only two other categories. Saving Private Ryan is an exacting tour de force, a truly great film. It that touched on the key issues of WWII in a way that was both poignant and unflinching.

And for Ian McKellen...his performance in Apt Pupil was masterful; the center of the film and the only thing really holding a jumbled mess of ideas together.

My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring, we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds. Pretty standard, really.
