I have found the first season of Farscape on Fancast. So I have seen it. But it is not the same as owning the DVD's outright. They may pull Farscape off the site and I may never see it again. So I watch as often as I can so I can have a lot of it memorized. But I am glad I discovered it. Farscape is a close second to Firefly as my favorite series. http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=28764731 Traveler

O_o is that how they're explaining it? They weren't even hunted until book 2. 'Who are you and how did you get in here?' 'I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' Police Squad

*shrugs* maybe theyre combining em. have to admit most of book one wouldnt really make an exciting movie, i mean, its him jumping to a million different places and eventually letting his girlfriend in on the secret. woohoo.

Very true. It would've ended up like one of those "intelletual" movies in the 70's. 'Who are you and how did you get in here?' 'I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' Police Squad

lol yeah. so you have to admit there was justification for what they did with the film. books dont always translate well from narrative to visual, like the bourne series. holy shit, you cannot depart farther between book and movie as they did. O_o the films are hardly even relatable to the books. but both were still very, very good.

Tuesday, October 14, 2008 5:19 PM

GORRAMGROUPIE

True, but there was also a good 30 years in between books and movie, at least the latest. I think they made one in the 70's (shudder). Things had totally changed, but still very good both book and movie. 'Who are you and how did you get in here?' 'I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' Police Squad

lol totally agree. so i take it you dont like 70s movies? ;)

ok FLT now figure out this quote ( it's so obscure almost no one ever gets it... Penguin if you drop by, shut it!)

I found it, by googling, not by any special knowledge, so I remove myself from the running. Wish some politicians felt the same. Except removing themselves from the gene pool, that woudl be a better option. 'Who are you and how did you get in here?' 'I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' Police Squad

Yup it's Opus... from A wish for wings that work I do so love the flightless bird support group and when the ducks take him flying and the kiwi whose wife left him for an albatross hears the crazy chicken say " don't suck a duck into your tailpipe" he screams " suck up an Albatross" That and when in the meeting he says " you want big wings, marry the space shuttle you shrew" I'm weird ____________________________________________ Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage."

I was thinking it was from the Batman movie. The evil Pengiun. http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=28764731 Traveler

*gasp* Opus is not evil. nor is Bill the Kat, though *he* does look like a stoner XD

I know Opus is not evil, but the only movie in my small memory bank with a penguin is the the second Batman film that also had Catwoman. And I can imagine Catwoman telling Penguin to "Shut it!" http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=28764731 Traveler

I think the last Batman film I watched was with Joker and Twoface. I finally saw the Dark Knight, but I am more a X-Men fan. Not that the X-men films were better, I just prefer the comics. The first Spiderman film was great, but the last one was a bit to much. http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=28764731 Traveler

I sometimes get confused when I'm trying to read comics, whole order of the pictures n such >< I get the whole left to right top to bottom thing, but sometimes it takes me a bit to figure out the order in which the characters are speaking, then u have those pages with the damned sidebar picture and its like "ok when am i supposed to read this part? why is it here?"

Wednesday, October 15, 2008 2:32 PM

TRAVELER

You are not alone. I go from top-left to bottom-right. If it does not sound right then I am stuck. But most often it works out all okay. And I read sidebars first. Maybe wrong, but they do give you heads-up on the section you're reading. Actually they talk to much. They should be fighting their evil opponent, not discussing how they are going to thrash them. Of course they do that because like radio and TV you don't want dead air. http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=28764731 Traveler

That is probably why I read more X-Men then the others. They have have more of a storyline that you can follow. But they have so many X-Men series I get lost trying to keep up. They just recently made some big changes. Disgarding old series and starting new ones. I don't know if will continue reading them. Time will tell. I am glad they stpped making X-Men films. They were not following the comica at all. Of course when does the film industry ever follow the oruginal story. http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=28764731 Traveler
