I got so sick and tired of the worthless crap spewing forth from every one of cable's 200 channels that I took the radical step of purchasing the DVD boxed set of "I, Claudius" produced by BBC television back in 1976. For you Trekkies out there, it's a real trip to see Patrick Stewart as a young man with a full head of curly hair!
This is some of the best writing and acting I've ever seen. Why don't we produce this kind of quality anymore? If I see one more mass market bleach blonde teenager shaking her half-covered ass on network prime time in what amounts to a thinly veiled strip tease, I'm going to puke! Stick that flavor-of-the-week in a sugar cone and bring out Ian McKellen as Richard III (which is a truly great work... Shakespeare's classic adapted to 1930's England, with striking parallels to Nazi Germany thrown in to illustrate the patternistic nature of history)! Once I've played this series out, I'm getting the entire series of "The Prisoner," which was also produced by BBC Television, but was produced back in the late sixties (I think). Then it's on to Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen" -- all 14-1/2 hours of it! Anyone have suggestions for additional significant, substantial works of audiovisual artistry? I figured maybe we as a community might each purchase something, watch it, and then rotate it to the next interested party. Kind of a "ColdFusion Community Lending Library" that we could all discuss from time to time. Then, when we're all done, the original buyers can recoup some expense by selling their purchases on eBay. What do you think? Anyone with me? PS-- "Dude, Where's My Car?" is NOT a candidate film for this venture. :) Respectfully, Adam Phillip Churvis Advanced Intensive ColdFusion MX Training http://www.ColdFusionTraining.com E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 770-446-8866 Team Macromedia Volunteer for ColdFusion http://www.macromedia.com/support/forums/team_macromedia/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
