I'm tempted by the BluRay editions as I think there's a set that has all 6 films but it's unlikely I'll spend any more money on the films until there's a BR release of the ORIGINAL original trilogy. Preferably with the Spec Editions and prequels included. I would pay good money for that. OTOH if they are going to make even more prequels or sequels or expanded universe films, even a set of the current six flicks complete with the original original trilogy (we should just call this SW:OOT for short, c'mon, say it, "swoot," that should totally catch on amongst us older fans) won't be a "complete set" so what's the point? |

I'll look at that later...
Right now I have a major choice that will affect my afternoon... I'm conflicted. I'm trying to decide between watching the rest of The Beach Boys: An American Family, watching Aliens, or Saturday Night Live rerun and then Aliens. I hate these decisions. It's major right now but in 4 hours it won't make a difference. EDIT: I've also got On The Beach that I let load on YT all morning.

Load all morning? What kind of internet connection do you have?

A rather depressing film and yet a good film.

Well it loaded for like an hour and a half...but when you get up at 10am that's all morning.
I have a slow internet...but right now it's faster than it was before I left on vacation.

It taught me 'Waltzing Matilda' at age nine. That has to be worth something.
My dad thought it was an evil film. Listening to me sing 'Waltzing Matilda' for two weeks straight might have had something to do with that.

On The Beach. I read this book when I was a teenager. It was by far the most mature thing I had come across and had some lasting effects. I like submarines for one thing and it had that end of the world thing going on. In the early sixties the possibility was not that far fetched.
I've seen the movie a couple of times and although it's well acted, books are almost always better. Movie is good though. Ava Gardner, hubba hubba. Waltzing Matilda.

This is a cool idea for a book/movie. A Submarine survives along with one country after a Nuclear War. Has anybody seen the 2000 Remake?

Though I thought Aliens (the original) was highly imaginative and contrived, I've seen it so many times and all the sequels kind of tarnished it's luster with me. I used to love SNL, but that's when the cast was made up of the original "not ready for primetime players". On another note, I was unpacking some of my DVDs and came across this Romantic Comedy starring John Ritter and Anne Archer. It's an older movie that had comic schtick that was commensuate with the times. It'd probably fall short with the younger generation, but I still enjoy watching it.

typo I meant to say Mad Max 2 is another name for Road Warrior. @frau if you have those limited edition DVDs with the originals then you should also have the special editions then you should have two discs per movie one is the special edition and one is the original. @ RedOctober the easiest way to spot the original SW from the special editions is that the originals will have no CGI effects at all everything was a model a prop or an animated effect(blaster bolts) a TIE fighter will be a model they filmed at high speed and you'll actually see a slight difference in the color of background compared to the background directly behind the TIE fighter if it is smooth its CGI if it looks ever slightly jittery its old school. |

Currently watching this on you tube.
Return from the River Kwai 1988 A POW movie that becomes a submarine movie, not bad so far.

I finally sat down and watched On The Beach.
That was great. That was a truly great movie. I loved it and now I really really really want to read the book. Some sort of sequel to the Bridge on the River Kwai? Or is it entirely unrelated?

Still I liked it though. George Takai plays the bad guy and quite convincingly too. That alone makes it worth seeing. And a submarine plays a major role in the movie...
