"Keen Eddie" (2004)
Fiona: Get out.
Eddie: Out of the kitchen?
Fiona: Out of the kitchen, out of the flat, out of London, out of the
world. It's full. Get out.
Eddie: I can't get out of the world. I didn't pull the kind of math
grades you need to qualify for the space program.
"Brimstone" (1998)
Angel: Oh, there's one more thing you should know. Your fate was never
determined until you killed Gilbert Jax. All in all, you've led a good
life, Ezekiel. Have faith. Your work's appreciated.

it just doesn't stand out to me. I'd expect something more traditional

Pardon the reply to myself but I've been watching the sales ranking on
Amazon.com. Last night when I put in my pre-order, it was over 10,000. This
morning at 7:30 AM EDT, it was 2,118. Now, at 8:00 AM, it's 1,108.

I wonder when it will come out in Europe.

season 1 in dvd so far. Now they are airing the series from the
beginning on a sat channel, so I hope we can get all the other seasons
in dvd as well)

placed my order. For a product we won't see until 3 months from now!

Agreed. Last night, I noticed that the only other pre-order item in the top

Something that isn't coming out until _late July_ at number SIX? Incredible!

9pm mountain time, #6. It is truly said that B5 fans tend to be just a

Somebody post when it hits number one.

#6 in about 24 hours, solely because of the internet grapevine and word
of mouth.
Now, Amazon is sending out emails about a one or two day delay in
shipping on that first day of availability. I haven't gotten such an
email (Maybe I ordered early enough.), but it seems we might have
**swamped 'em**.
Gees, think there's a market? :-) Hope you have ideas about how you're
going to fill the next "Babylon 5 - The Lost Tales" DVD.

(Trying this a third time -- I just realized I have been posting with my

IMPORTANT NOTE: Amazon will *cancel your order* on May 25 if you do not
log in to your account and *approve* the shipment delay.

Now at number 5. <g>
Rounding out the Top Ten:
1. Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series
2. The Queen
3. Night at the Museum (Widescreen Edition)
4. The Secret (Extended Edition)
5. Babylon 5 - The Lost Tales
6. Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series [HD DVD]
7. Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series [Blu-ray]
8. Deja Vu
9. Casino Royale (Two-Disc Widescreen Edition)
10. The Last King of Scotland (Widescreen Edition)
So this little direct-to-video title is attracting more orders than
the hi-def versions of one of the biggest and most-hyped TV events of
the past year, the latest incarnation of James Bond and a multiple
Oscar (tm) nominee. Not bad. Not bad at all.

I did not get any such threating message, but I went into my account to
make sure. It also has no cancellation threat, and indicates expected
delivery Aug 3-7. So perhaps that only applies after the first 100,000
orders or something like that.

The way I understood the whole Law Of Attraction thing was that the Universe
had trouble with "not".
It'd still give you what you were thinking about, even if you were simply
reminding yourself not to think about it. ;-)

I also believe this has "bubbled up" in the public consciousness again
because Oprah recently did a show about it, and tosses it into the

Ah, OPRAH talks about it. That explains everything. I have to confess that

Other way around, I should think. <g>
And yes, from the 5 seconds I spent looking at the Amazon page for
"The
Secret", I'd say the "Law of Attraction" thing is part of it, or is an
older
idea borrowed for it. Basically the usual "If you build it (or in

attract
riches, that sort of thing. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go

Oh, ick! I had totally forgotten about that. (I only saw the film
once, and that was enough. Not only did it generaly suck - pardon the
pun - but there was a really disturbing JonBenet vibe about the
"little girl" character that I suspect you can kind of get away with
on the page, but on screen was just too much given that there was a
real little girl actress under that makeup.) Thanks for ruining Mary

Non-fiction? Uhhhmmmm... :)
Bill
ummm ... Amy? "Interview with the Vampire" was released in 1994. By
that logic, the Olsen twins - as they are now - shouldn't be
considered attractive simply because the whole country has watched
them grow from infancy. I'm curious, are you equally skeeved by Harry
Potter star Daniel Radcliffe's nude turn on stage with Equus?
Joe, I suspect that the JonBenet vibe was deliberate on somebody's
part. Since I never read "Interview", I'm not certain if that was Anne
Rice or the director's idea. Personally, I liked it from the
standpoint of an artist pushing the audience out of their comfort
zone.

Oh, I didn't say "not attractive." It's just hard for me to think of her as
anything but a little girl. I was a _big_ fan of Anne Rice back around that
time, and I went to her annual Halloween ball the year IwtV was released.
Kirsten Dunst was there. I saw her around town a lot over that week, and
also _in costume as Claudia_ (the vampire child), at the ball itself. She's
pretty much cemented in my mind as a little girl. :-)
>> I'm curious, are you equally skeeved by Harry

Honestly? A bit. But that didn't stop me from looking at pictures from the
production. :-D

The Claudia character was written as a kind of grief-processing response to
the death of Rice's own daughter, at around age five, from leukemia. The
point of view of the other vampire characters in the books was that it was an
abomination to 'turn' a child, for just the reason that squicked out Joe:
eventually, she would be a woman, eternally a grown woman, in the body of a
child. So not exactly Jon Benet, but a similar sort of vibe, I guess.
Amy
Joseph DeMartino
> Joe, I suspect that the JonBenet vibe was deliberate on somebody's

Actually it may be that the pagent photos of JonBenet reminded me of
the child-vampire from "Interview", because the film was released
nearly two years before her murder (and the book long before *that*.)
So that "vibe" couldn't have been deliberate unless someone involved
owns a time machine.

Interesting. I never had this problem with Bill Mumy, Patty Duke, Ron
Howard (even though he was adorable in the "Music Man"), or Kurt
Russel....
(and whilst jogging my memory about Kurt Russel, who really did remake
himself and got out of the Disney/child actor mould in which he
started his career, I noticed there's a pre-production listing for
"Escape from New York" [2009] - WTF? That movie really doesn't need to

Call me cynical, but could the reason that they are remaking it be

My cynicism says that it's simply another example of how cautious and
unoriginal Hollywood's become. I'm sick of remakes!
>> I see no reason why it should be remade. <<
Agreed. All you add with most remakes is better special effects, and
sometimes that just doesn't help (and in fact hurts). The exception to the
rule is something like "King Kong," which restored missing parts of the
original script, or "The Wicker Man," which filtered the original story
through a more modern socio-political sensibility (both of which fell flat,
IMHO). Most remakes are more like "Planet of the Apes," "Texas Chainsaw
Massacre," and the upcoming remake of "Halloween" -- simply an attempt to
make use of spiffier technology.
In the case of "Escape from New York," I think that better effects will
_decidedly_ hurt it. I just love the cheesiness of that film, _everything_
about it. It pains me that they're going to try to improve upon that.
