    HUMAN TARGET #1:Ilsa Pucci/Season 2/2010

    Same here. It's just barely holding on for me. I'm going to give it a few more episodes, but since I found out that the annoying, walking cliche female thief is going to be a regular character, it doesn't look good.

    Star Wars:The Clone Wars...

    Reading other message boards, the most commonly used word this season is "boring". I've never been a huge fan of the series (for reasons too numerous to mention), but I did watch it. At least I could enjoy the action. This season has just been so dull, I've taken it off my DVR.

    FIFTY remakes? Seriously?

    It's unfair to label all of those films as "remakes". Some are based on books (The Three Musketeers, The Howling, Pet Sematary) or comics (The Crow, Judge Dredd, Death Note). Those are more "adaption" than "remake", IMO. If you have to remake a movie, I'd prefer it was of a bad one. Some...

    DSL Questions

    Because of where I live, the only internet connections I've ever had have been dial-up and (currently) Hughes Net satellite. Hughes Net is terrible. You lose your connection in bad weather, the technical support people know nothing, you have download limits, and it's ridiculously expensive...

    Godzilla vs Gamera Movie. Really!

    Wow. I forgot I even started this thread. Before anyone gets excited, it's from 2002. Sadly, there never was a Gamera Vs Godzilla film (and the world is a poorer place for it). :.-( P.S. Gamera would still win. ;)
