I also saw "Bewitched" and need two hours of my life back now. It's not horrible, but being a Nicole Kidman fan and NOT a Will Ferrell fan...yeah.
Did we know Katie Finneran was in it? Small part, but I did sit up and think, hey!
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Maverick is the only movie named that I'd really disagree about.
I would put Maverick in the "not-bad" group, rather than the "not-good" group.

I enjoyed it a lot, actually. Though I only had a passing aquaintance with the James Garner version on TV, so I guess there was less info for comparison.

Always Anti-fascist!
I liked it too, but I bet JG was funnier...Garner is a funny man. And Matt, I like your nick for Gibson.

I saw Bewitched, The Perfect Man, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith on Friday. I enjoyed them all, though Mr. and Mrs. Smith was definitely the most tightly edited and charismatic. I don't understand what people have against Bewitched, really. It's pretty inoffensive. And I had a few issues with The Perfect Man, mostly a couple of choices the heroine and her mother make, including one painful watch from the hall thing, but it was otherwise better than I expected.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I was almost asleep, when the following question popped insistingly into my consciousness:
What is a 'moisture farm'?

Hey. New board.
It's a large tract of desert land covered with machines called "vaporators" that, as near as I can tell, use some sort of condensation procedure to pull what little moisture out of the air there is. The moisture, which has magically become water, is then sold to the inhabitants of said desert.
Why these vaporators, which almost certainly use a very, very simple running principle, are so likely to break down in Star Wars canon is a question left best unexplored.
ETA: It's evident that I read way too many of the expanded universe novels when I was younger, isn't it? There's a reason my insistence about not seeing the third movie is so strong: my emotional investment is too great to handle another thrashing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

But...it's really good.

Yeah, but there's crops involved too. Unless Uncle Owen ran both a moisture farm and an unspecified crop farm.

Plus the vaporators speak a binary language. (Even though XML would make more sense.)
