Not an important question, but I’m just wondering if there is a specific reason Tuesday was chosen? Seems like Friday would be more ideal, because it’s the last day of the week, and people are preparing to relax for the weekend.
Last day of the work week for "most" people I meant to say.
reliases dvd rentals
So I'm watching all the Doctor Who episodes from the beginning. How long should that take..?
Last year I took it upon myself to watch the entire new series. Sometimes I watched some old serials too, like Ark of Space, Logopolis/Castrovalva, and two from the E-Space trilogy. And Survival. Some others, anyway.
At this time, I watched "An Unearthly Child", and left it at that for awhile.
Recently, I decided to watch them in order via rental. Of course some are wiped, and I’ll have to get around to the "Lost in Time" DVDs for that. And some merely aren’t out on DVD, for some wicked reason. Take "The Ark" from the First Doctor, it sounds great and has been issued on VHS but there aren’t currently any plans for a DVD. Blech.
Anyway, I started from "The Daleks" several weeks ago. The Edge of Destruction, with the soundtrack/pictures of Marco Polo as the special feature. Keys of Marinus, the Aztecs, and I just finished the Dalek Invasion of Earth. I felt that serial was the end of an era, since it was the last episodes with the original TARDIS crew. In a few more serials(most of which are intact, thankfully), I’ll be saying goodbye to Barbara and Ian as well(supposedly, Ian was to be in Mawdryn Undead, but William Russell wasn’t available..unfortunate).
I suppose if I were HARDCORE, I’d go ebay the ones that were released on VHS but aren’t available on DVD yet. On a related note, I’ve recently heard a DVD of the 1996 Paul McGann movie will be available within the year.
Anyway, how long should this take?
I imagine by the time I’m done, there will be more Who available on DVD, and then I can loop back and watch those too.

Watching them every day and it would still take 2-5 years?? No way.
Although, I won’t be watching them every day, so this could stretch into into the "years" territory at least somewhat…Bollocks!
12th Doctor: I was under the impression the DVD for the ’96 movie had never been released in the states!? I had given up on seeing it recently, and just watched it online.
Goldenfurpro: Are you purchasing the serials, renting them online, or what?
Today I pulled out the old Hand of Fear VHS I’d bought years ago. The first real serial I saw as an adult, not counting some half-memories once or twice from childhood/PBS.
The TARDIS was VERY different, kinda liked it.
And though I needed no further evidence, once again I concluded that Elisabeth Sladen/Sarah Jane Smith in her prime was a FOX. Gorgeous, really. I can see why she was the first existing companion to warrant as much attention as she did in the papers when she left(Re: About Time books). What a face. Dig the curly hair, too.
"She’s in pink stripes..I said pink stripes…Yes, like Andy Pandy!"

The Boondock Saints or Donnie Darko?
These films are definitive "cult classics." Neither made an impact in theatres, but through word-of-mouth and fan-driven promotion, both have grossed millions through VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray sales and rentals. Both have also spawned sequels, although only the "Saints" sequel featured the original cast and saw a theatrical release. So, which do you prefer?
I enjoy both for different reasons. "Saints" is a very entertaining, Tarantino-esque crime film, buoyed by a colorful, talented cast. It’s a pity Troy Duffy is a self-destructive douche because he is a talented action/suspense director.
Donnie Darko has, to my personal annoyance, been overwhelmed by its emo/Hot Topic fans. However, the film itself remains a highly original and well-crafted piece of science fiction. And it launced the very promising careers of Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Overall, I prefer Donnie Darko.

What is the song called in the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince ending credits?
When the film has ended and the second lot of credits come up, with the black background and white text, the second song that sounds like a church choir singing it, i think it’s sounds so nice, i want to know what it’s called??. I would look on the DVD but i only rented it from Blockbusters yesterday and did not have time to check in the ending credits to see if it listed the song’s name before it had to go back, because Blockbusters are now making all new releases one night rental and the whole family have been watching it different times during the day etc. so once it ended someone else wanted to watch it straight away lol

Is my Father In Law a Jerk? A movie was just released in theatres. My father-in-law (F-I-L) wanted?
us see this movie with him (i.e. his wife, my wife, our two kids & me). We told him our family wanted to wait and see this movie as a DVD Rental. F-I-L said he’d treat all of us to the movie.
We don’t usually buy refreshments at theatres because they charge so much. As soon as F-I-L had the tickets in hand, he asked my kids if they wanted candy, popcorn and soda pop? And of course they did!
So we ordered the refreshments and my F-I-L turns to me and says: “Since I paid to get everyone in, you should pay for the refreshments” So I paid and it cost almost me as much as he paid for the movie tickets.
After everyone got their refreshments, my F-I-L announced: “Sam, this movie is your birthday present from me.” (My birthday is a month away)
This caught me off-guard since I spent almost as much on refreshments as he spent for the tickets to this movie. After the movie was over (which I still felt was a DVD rental quality movie) he repeated that he was really glad (cont. )
he could give me such a great birthday present!
Just to clarify, in the 20 years I’ve been his son-in-law, this is the 1st time he has given me a present.
Although I don’t think this experience really qualifies as present; drag us to movie we don’t really want to see, etc. . My wife and I give him birthday gifts every year.
So here’s my question, with 10 points going to the best answer:
