Guilty pleasures.
I have the Alien Nation collection by James Westfall	Apr 15th, 2008 02:12:45 AM
One day I just out of the blue went Alien Nation crazy. I have no idea what sparked it. I went out and got the Alien Nation/Enemy Mine DVD ($10 for two cool sci-fi movies is made of win) and then bought this collection. I hadn't seen much of the series but I watched the Ultimate collection and was sadly underwhelmed.
MAD MEN really truly ownz. by NoPIX	Apr 15th, 2008 02:50:33 AM
Just stick with it. In a way it's a slow burn. Before you know it, you're hooked. I am hoping it pulls off an awesome second season like DEXTER was able to do.
Who, and I mean WHO gives a shit about Tila Tequila? by Playkins	Apr 15th, 2008 04:11:49 AM
Seriously, why is that stupid chick even famous? Because she's small and asian? Because she's a fugly little bi-troll? I really, REALLY don't get it- on the level of Paris Hilton don't get it. I mean, at least Paris has an excuse because she comes from a global dynasty. Tila... is a clubbing whore who got a lot of hits on myspace? WTF?!?
Well, the kids have to learn about Tek War sooner or later by photoboy	Apr 15th, 2008 05:12:24 AM
I couldn't give a shit about Tila Tequila either, she's just another STD filled whore like Paris Hilton.
WHatr is it with these Gay dvd boxstes you keep on trying to pim by Mr_X	Apr 15th, 2008 05:38:38 AM
Bump! American South, The House of Venus Show 2.x is there something about the aicn demographic that you aren't telling us?
"whose MySpace fansite identifies him as a college graduate" by tonagan	Apr 15th, 2008 06:00:47 AM
It pays to carefully read these. Very funny.
Hey, is Sifl and Olly ever coming out on DVD? by tonagan	Apr 15th, 2008 07:21:16 AM
That Ollie Johnston obit made me think of it (seriously. Hey, at least I didn't say anything in that particular talkback.)
I am thoroughly enjoying Mad Men by Franklin T Marmoset	Apr 15th, 2008 07:27:12 AM
Started watching it on BBC4 recently and it's turning out to be pretty damn good stuff. I was a little leery at first of the whole 'Ha ha, look at the stupid old-fashioned people who don't know about sexism and lung cancer and whatnot' vibe, but as the show has gone on they've toned that down a bit and done a good job of developing the characters. I highly recommend it to any fans of mature dramas like The Sopranos and Six Feet Under.
Also, fuck me, Dexter is mint by Franklin T Marmoset	Apr 15th, 2008 07:29:03 AM
Dexter is rapidly becoming my favourite thing on the telly, and it's killing me that we're so horribly far behind here in England. I've seen the first five or six episodes of season one, but that add up above is for the season two box set! I may have to save my pennies and buy it on import.
James Westfall... by MisterE	Apr 15th, 2008 08:18:31 AM
The Alien Nation Ultimate Movie Collection has a release date of April 15, 2008 (today), so it is doubtful that you have yet bought this set. The television series has been released as a set of DVDs named "Alien Nation - The Collector's Edition", so maybe that is what you are referring to?
In that Alien Nation Movie, Faustino's character by Shut the Fuck up Donny	Apr 15th, 2008 08:31:47 AM
had that dumb-ass goatee of his--yet, didn't they address in the show (or the movie) that the Tectonese couldn't grow facial hair? Petty I know, but I always admired the show for trying to maintain a mythos and continuity.
Why is Mad Men first? by Thunderbolt Ross	Apr 15th, 2008 08:54:24 AM
You don't even write anything about it!
Does A&E plan on releasing the Andromeda by skimn	Apr 15th, 2008 08:59:14 AM
DVD days after it airs on the network? The site still doesn't give an airdate, but its got to air during May sweeps. Aw, the hell with it anyway, it'll be a shitty, overblown remake that Wise captured pretty damn well in the original.
Growing Pains and Who's the Boss by yanksno1	Apr 15th, 2008 09:45:30 AM
Just give me those 2 complete series sets, pretty please with sugar on top? Why is that so hard to ask for. We get so many crappy series out first and for some reason they won't release these. I know the S1 sets didn't sell well, but those were the weakest seasons of both series. Come on, get with it!
MAD MEN RULES!!! by Mr. Nice Gaius	Apr 15th, 2008 09:49:48 AM
Do yourselves a favor and get to know Don Draper. Oh, and Roger Sterling. JOOOAAANNN!!!
I guess even Tila Tequila has standards by Big Jim	Apr 15th, 2008 10:51:47 AM
Like Groucho not wanting to belong to any club that would have him as a member, Tila doesn't want to have anything to do with a guy who'd compete on a show where she is the prize. His sad boy rant is the funniest thing I've read today. He's a college graduate? Can you now get a BA in illiteracy?

Birds of Prey by monorail77	Apr 15th, 2008 11:28:29 AM
I've never even heard of this. It looks great.. Anyone seen it and care to comment?
You haven't seen BOP? by James_O'Nasty	Apr 15th, 2008 12:09:34 PM
Well, it was on back in 2001/2002, it was kind of like a heightened senses Catwoman, stronger, faster... while Dinah Lance was somewhat psychic and a martial artist, while Oracle was hot and disabled. But then she walked and fought in the last few episodes and she did wear the Batgirl costume. It was okay, but why a DVD 7 years later??? P.S. THERE ARE NO GAY FANBOYS!!! THEY HAVE MORE PRESSING MATTERS, LIKE CHOKING ON HOGS.
Oh, Dinah's mom had the Canary Cry by James_O'Nasty	Apr 15th, 2008 12:10:35 PM
and was a piece of ass!
Birds of Prey's only redeeming qualities . . . by SkidMarkedUndies	Apr 15th, 2008 12:11:48 PM
were the TWO SECONDS of footage of BATMAN running down a hallway and Mark Hamill's cackling laugh over a shot of a stunt man in Joker make-up. Oh and Ashley Scott is SUPER HOT, but not hot enough for me to last an episode. That's about it.
I always say this about Birds of Prey... by tonagan	Apr 15th, 2008 01:02:29 PM
Dina Meyer in a Batgirl costume.
I want to congratulate Herc on a Buffy-free week. by ZeroCorpse	Apr 15th, 2008 02:03:51 PM
Seriously. You proved you could do it. You actually went a week without posting anything having to do with Buffy, Whedon, or the cast of a Whedon show. I'm impressed, and thankful. I'm equally thankful for the great Doctor Who talkbacks. Thanks, Herc. You came through for us.
A Buffy Question... by MisterE	Apr 15th, 2008 03:09:57 PM
Thanks, ZeroCorpse, for reminding me that I have a question about Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Do I need to watch the Buffy theatrical movie before watching season one, or is there no real need?
A Buffy Answer... by redfang	Apr 15th, 2008 03:22:12 PM
Not only is there no need to watch Buffy-the-movie first (unless you're a Kristy Swanson fan), it might even confuse you, since the mythology and monsters work slightly differently in the movie than in the series. That being said, Pee-Wee Herman's death scene is worth the price of rental.
Birds of Prey had Harley Quinn... by schnorbis	Apr 15th, 2008 03:23:45 PM
...played by Mia Sara. I thought the show was pretty good.
A Buffy P.S.... by redfang	Apr 15th, 2008 03:27:13 PM
Season 1 shows promise, and is a must-see if you watch the series, but it's uneven. Season 2 is where it really catches fire. How long that fire lasts is a matter of debate.
Redfang... by MisterE	Apr 15th, 2008 03:38:52 PM
Redfang, thanks for the reply. I rented season one from my local Blockbuster a couple of days ago, but remembered that a movie had came out before the series began. I wasn't sure if I needed to watch the movie first.
Birds of Prey by MGTHEDJ	Apr 15th, 2008 03:53:21 PM
Ok, this will get confusing, but, the histories of the characters are based on the 1970's and 1980's parallel universe home of the Justice Society of America called Earth 2. DC used the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" storyline from 1985-86 to shut down those plotlines. The show failed because people born after 1978 were raised on Frank Miller and Bruce Timm's versions of the characters, and were completely lost when it came to "Birds of Prey's" take on character relationships, bloodlines, and superpowers.-------later------ m
YAY Alien Nation!!!!. Woo! by podkayne8	Apr 15th, 2008 04:28:08 PM
Seriously, so excited! Thanks for letting us (or more to the point ME!) know about the Alien Nation collection. Been a huge fan for forever and the later movies are hard to come by! Awesome!!!
Mad Men is so wonderful... by DanielKurland	Apr 15th, 2008 06:01:41 PM
The characters have such rich, great monologues. Pete Campbell has one about how he pictures a wife shpould act, and it's a thing of art.
Mad Men is the best TV drama post-Wire by wash	Apr 15th, 2008 06:07:43 PM
And post-BSG second season.
MisterE RE: Alien Nation Ultimate Collection by James Westfall	Apr 15th, 2008 07:34:44 PM
The Alien Nation Ultimate collection isn't new. I bought it either this past January or last December. Same box, same name (Ultimate Movie Collection) and same five made for TV movies.
The Alien Nation set... by Big Dan	Apr 15th, 2008 07:51:41 PM
was previously a Best Buy exclusive only. It did come out last year.
James Westfall and Big Dan... by MisterE	Apr 15th, 2008 09:12:37 PM
I stand corrected in respect to the Alien Nation TV Movie set. Sorry for doubting you, James.
Season Finale of Human Giant tonight by INWOsuxRED	Apr 15th, 2008 09:15:39 PM
Guest stars include but may not be limited to David Cross. I heard they aren't licking Herc's vagina, so he won't be posting a press release or anything. Now you know.
MisterE by James Westfall	Apr 15th, 2008 09:30:34 PM
Don't be sorry for being wrong about when it came out - be sorry for me having bought it! Heh.
James... by MisterE	Apr 15th, 2008 09:46:09 PM
I bought it, too, but I'm a fan of the show. I pre-ordered from Amazon and received it today. I think that I only saw the first two TV movies, and recall that they were very bad. The novelization of the second TV movie, "Body and Soul", is really good, though (it's written by Peter David, if you know who that is?).
What the hell is Birds of Prey? by samsquanch	Apr 16th, 2008 02:50:16 AM
And when the shit is Heroes starting up again fuckers?
I'm watching Dexter right now. by samsquanch	Apr 16th, 2008 02:52:49 AM
It rules.
Breaking Bad is also really fantastic... by DanielKurland	Apr 16th, 2008 09:25:26 AM
I would love to see Bryan Cranston get an Emmy, but then that would mean anyone from Mad Men wouldn't be getting one. The scene where he realizes he needs to kill a man, and his continuous cycle of saying "I'm sorry" is great.
Cannon Season 1 by Meglos	Apr 16th, 2008 11:58:41 AM
Sexiest DVD cover ever.
I think I threw up a little... by Aitrus233	Apr 16th, 2008 12:18:29 PM
when I saw the Stargate Infinity DVD.
X-Files: I Want To Believe by John L Raiser	Apr 16th, 2008 02:01:05 PM
official title of new flick.
Human Giant season finale fo reals? by turketron	Apr 16th, 2008 03:10:46 PM
Dammit, I haven't seen any of the new season... off to the torrents I go. I bought the season 1 dvd set, haven't got around to watching that either. Saw most of the episodes when they aired. HILARIOUS show.
had alien nation box set since x-mas by elvirasbuttboy	Apr 17th, 2008 10:03:53 AM
I had the Alien Nation movie box set since Christmas. It originally was a Best Buy exclusive at the time.
