Ben and Jerry's is giving away ice cream.

I thought everything was bigger in Texas?

Halloween 3: Season of the Witch. An underrated little film that gets ripped on for having nothing to do with Mike Meyers. Black Christmas is a great horror film that is light on gore and big on scares. Bob Clark sure knows how to make a good Christmas movie. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

I have seen it as low as $2.03 here in Minneapolis.

While I love The Descent, I would guess the level in gore in it might be more the greeg wants to watch.

I think Jacob's Ladder might be right up your alley greeg.

And jordan slaps down a T3 line. Cheater!

This thread is doing wonders for my self esteem. Now if only Toby would stop in, show off his dainty connection speed, and my supreme authority will be assured.

Currently it is Dr Ronald Chevalier.

You seem to be ignoring the fact Cooper shot at the deputies, injuring one. Cooper also had a history of unlawful actions, the warrants were hardly trumped up, though the manner in which they were served is certainly odd. My guess is since Cooper had made it publicly known that he would violently resist any attempt to arrest him, they posed as trespassers in the hopes they could prevent or limit any violence that might occur.

Do you have any experience in film making?Do you have a cinematographer? Who is going to finance the film? Are you going to shoot on film or digital? What kind of film stock? The simple cost of covering basic living expenses and shooting costs alone will be quite expensive for a two month period. Well into the tens of thousands of dollars at bare bones prices. Do you have that kind of financing available?

They also brought back one of the show's greatest hits. "It squeaks when you bang it ... that's what she said."

Bad Astronomy is the best place I have found that completely dispels the myth that the Lunar landings were faked. He is an Astronomer that also has spent some time writing on the history of Science and how it is continually misrepresented throughout history. There is massive amounts of proof (over 800 lbs in Moon rocks for one) from just the Apollo missions alone the show the missions occurred. Believing anything else is choosing to be ignorant.

Penn and Teller also did a reenactment on their show and were able to pull it off rather easily. They also proved that why the magic bullet theory actually works is because the car was moving, so the bullet actually does travel in a relatively straight line, not the zig-zag manner that is depicted by drawn mock up.

Eyewitness accounts are notoriously awful to rely on, whether it is looking for a skunk ape or for a criminal investigation. Human memory is horribly faulty, and if that is what you are pinning your hopes on, you are going to come up disappointed.

While mountain lions could possibly be melanistic, it is incredibly rare. Jaguars are still barely crossing the border into the US, so even they are incredibly unlikely. Mistaken house cats though? I'd put every dollar I had on that one every single time.

The audio can be a bit more difficult as it depends on the original recording process, and the masters that might be laying around. Considering how old Casablanca is I wouldn't be surprised if it was a Mono track. In those instances they typically split it into two channels to give the impression that something is "surround sound". It really all depends on how the original audio was recorded and the condition of the masters but my guess is Casblanca is Mono 2.0 for DVD, Blu-ray or any remastered prints playing in theaters. With companies that are very good at doing film restorations (like Criterion and Kino) they will usually remaster everything and split up the audio into separate channels if possible. It is a very labor intensive process, and is a big reason why it takes so long for them to put out discs and the typical high cost of them. It probably isn't possible for them to do 7.1 in the vast majority of cases, but true 2.1 is pretty common and typically sounds very good and even Mono 2.0 can sound pretty impressive when done right. But we are talking films made pre-1960 or so. By the 80's pretty much everything was recorded so you could remix it into absurd numbers of multiple channels. Also, to clarify, remastering audio doesn't really mean making the soundtracks sound better, but it is about making the film sound as how the director originally intended. Films that were recorded in Mono will always be 2.0, and it is simply a matter of making that 2.0 sound as good as possible for home theater. It may not seem right, but Casablanca in Mono 2.0 would sound much better then in 7.1. So I guess the answer is if they can make something 7.1 nowadays they will, but they won't artificially turn a Mono soundtrack into 7.1. Hopefully Robert steps in and explains this better then I can.

Diskono is correct. Celluloid film has a much higher resolution then High Definition, somewhere in the region of 4 to 5 times higher. That means 1080p is vastly inferior to 35mm film. Moving up to 70mm or something ridiculously sick like true IMAX and you are talking potentially hundreds of times more resolution then high def. The reason why HD often will look "better" then film is that companies are now removing film grain in order to make the image as crystal clear as possible. This actually has a negative effect as it results in the image losing depth of field, resulting in a flat image. In the worst cases, as when something is shot using HD digital cameras, it will give the frame a two dimensional look as the individual frame simply doesn't have the information space that film would. It also is much more obvious as the screen is enlarged.

Actually, the odds of a large ape running around the Western US is ridiculously small. Same with stinky apes roaming around Florida. Their simply is no legitimate proof for either of them, and the "conspiracy" is largest dependent on urban legends and myths to perpetuate it and seriously lacking in credible evidence. At least with the claims of large black cats roaming the Midwest their could be a case made for jaguars returning to more northern reaches of the US after being hunted to near extinction, though this is still highly unlikely.

The Illuminati was not composed of Satanists, nor was it Christian in nature. It was primarily scientists and artists who didn't follow the Catholic Church. But the Church simply had a much better press secretary then they did.

Just want to be clear Al, but by here do you mean WI or this message board?

I would want to know why The Lone Gunmen was canceled.

I'll take whatever you have left.
