Works for me, too. Wish that someone would air "Silent Running", for me. TCM 
had it on awhile back, but I missed it.

I agree with your assessment of Full Metal Alchemist.  It is one of the 
few series that does not have many, if any, WTF moments.  However, a lot

I only caught most of the movie (missed the begining 15 minutes of it) when I 
stumbled on to it on Stars Edge (one of the Stars channels) and found it to 
be very good end to the series (and a possible begining to a new one).   They 
said it will be replayed on Dec 10th on that same channel.   As for Full Metal 
Alchemist I thought it was one of those few anime series that was good from 
begining to end.   Unlike Evangelion (which everyone seems to hate) which I 
found good in the begining and middle but when into a bad WTF terrirory in it's 
last half.   The movies did a good job but still didn't correct that ending.   
Hopefully the new OVA series retelling the story (which I haven seen) will 
finially do just that.

Honestly, I don't know if that's true. I won my copy, and I don't remember 
where it was shipped from (dumped the packaging as soon as I opened the thing). 
The web site I won it at is American, but the owner has lots of friends over in

I started to watch Volume 2 of "Karas: The Revelation" (won it in an online 
contest which I forgot I'd even entered- the FedEx Dump-and-Run was the 
happiest surprise I'd had in many a month), but I was interrupted.

Re: [scifinoir2] DVDs Watched Over Thanksgiving

Love one of the early "Space: 1999" eps where they're still in the Solar 
System. I think they're out near Neptune. There's an abandoned spaceship that 
has some kind of flesheating monster on it. The creature's like a giant squid 
or something, with one giant lighted eye in the center of its body. It pulls 
people in, thein a moment later, ejects a smoking corpse, as though the body'd 
been doused in acid. As a kid, i found that show to be scary. I suspect i might 
laugh at it nowadays.

I do wonder why, if they were still in the Solar System, they didn't just 
abandon Moon Base Alpha in those funky spaceships and head back towards Earth? 
I guess their range was too limited and the Moon was moving too fast...

I watched the first 2 seasons of Sliders. This started off as a really fun
and interesting show. It ended so terribly that it's easy to forget that.

I am actually still on holiday this week, and so I will be watching the
first 2 seasons of Space: 1999, and a bunch of anime I've been collecting
for the past year and have not watched.

It seems as if a lot of us use the Thanksgiving holiday to chill out 
with some DVDs, We watched Mr. Brooks (loved it), Seraphim Falls with 
Pierce Brosnan and Liam Neeson, Spiderman III, and we got Ants for my 
little girl.  What did you guys watch?
