There are spoilers. Please read, and don't enable Abrams by giving him money. Grab a torrent some day so you can watch it in a few chunks later. Plenty of BigDumbMovies in theatres now and soon.

Stark Trek was good but without the freshness of the new actors hitting the mark as old characters, flaws were apparent. The plot was thin, minimal lip service to the usual Trek thoughtfulness, and the show pieces along with the old references were of the obvious sort for the most part. Not like the stunning opening of the first one. Still worth seeing for the character acting (except that gratuitous blonde) and senseless show pieces.]]> johnny k Spork Central Sat, 18 May 2013 20:29:55 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,17,42297#msg-42297 Re: Multi Media Discussion http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,17,42297#msg-42297 El Jeffe Spork Central Sat, 18 May 2013 18:29:25 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,17,42292#msg-42292 Re: Multi Media Discussion http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,17,42292#msg-42292

Not at all the story I thought it would be. Spader was good. TLJ was just TLJ, imo.
If it were told like LOTRs, there'd be a lot more drama in the movement of people, and not the dialogue whilst standing still.
No action. His youngest looked like Damien from the original Omen in his last screaming scene.
Did not make anyone but US Grant out to seem like a guy that has no qualms about his place/role/next step. (like that actor, too).
Overall I walked away liking the the dialogue, makeup/wardrobe. A few of the dialects/accents were strange. I suspect many non-native-AMERICAN-English speakers faking 19th century American English speakers is the root cause. (aka Brits playing USAmericans....again)
This concludes a week of co-workers discussions on how the CSA did not surrender and they/might be considered an occupied country. So, the movie was apropos to this in timing.

Music was done by the Letters from Cleo people, I think. They also did the music for the Generation O cartoon.

Damn, Rachel Leigh Cook is cute.

The movie also had Parker Posey and Alan Cumming. How, HOW can that be wrong? And it's got about the largest anti-consumerist satirical message since "They Live".

As much as Netflix would want House of Cards to be "it", GoT is going to wind up being the poster child for whatever happens next in digital distribution, methinks.

Pirating would be wrong. "A Lannister pays his debts."

They are releasing it on CD and LP and a very limited edition run of cassettes. The cassettes are done by a company in the UK and people who order them also get a digital download of the album in pretty much any format they want (including lossless).

Of course I had to order the cassette. It came in the mail today and they included a packet of PG Tips tea and a recipe for cheesecake.

Hmmm...

There were a lot of comments about delays between the GOT episode airing in the US and when it becomes available on iTunes Australia. I'd signed up for the season pass when the first episode was already available. The 2nd episode wasn't available last night when the torrents started to go up - however for the first 6-12 hours after the latest GOT torrent goes up there's absolute gridlock because the ratio of seeders/leachers is way out of whack - the download was going to take half the night...

Wake up the following morning and iTunes pops up with a little "you have a new GOT episode, would you like to download?"

"You bet your happy arse I do" -- click -- and ten minutes later I'm watching Theon finally getting his just desserts...

So, all in all, almost as quick as torrenting and better quality. I think that's worthy of a swiffie.

There are a few episodes of the show that I remember very well, having practically worn out the tapes they were recorded on. I've lost all of those tapes over the years, unfortunately, but recently discovered a way to get those memories back...

During its "golden era" the Dr. Demento Show was distributed by the Westwood One Radio Network. Each two hour show was shipped via UPS to the affiliate stations on two vinyl LPs. These even included the commercials.

People have started to sell these on eBay and I just bought a few. I picked up three episodes that I remember having recorded on tape 25 years ago. They arrived today and I just finished recording the first of them into MP3 format. I'm probably going to re-record it once I get a better turntable and a good disc cleaner but at least for now I have the ability to re-experience something I loved when I was 13 years old.]]> Cloudscout Spork Central Fri, 12 Apr 2013 23:32:38 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,17,41639#msg-41639 Re: Multi Media Discussion http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,17,41639#msg-41639 El Jeffe Spork Central Fri, 12 Apr 2013 19:09:50 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,17,41629#msg-41629 Re: Multi Media Discussion http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,17,41629#msg-41629
