To me this is good news. While I'm a mac fan (having owned several macs and a 2 ipods) who loves itunes. I don't buy anything mp's from their store prefering to use amazon because of copy protection. This is due to me nearly losing over 20 dollars worth of tunes when I upgraded macs and fo

Interesting. I can't say I know anything about Bolden, but Obama may replace the current administrator simply because of the tensions between him and the transition team. There's a feeling that he has a "hands off 'cause you don't understand this" attitude. A bit off the topic of this article

Re: [scifinoir2] iTunes Price Cut and copy protection removed

Good to hear. You'd think companies would have learned from the past that making music and video available for copying won't destroy the industry. They made the same complaints with the advent of cassette recorders and the VCR, and the whole thing didn't exactly implode... -- Origi

[scifinoir2] Will Smith as Nubian Pharaoh Taharka

[This has been a particularly busy year for Smith. Since the 1995 film Bad Boys, he has consistently released one live-action film each year. In 2008, he had two, this one and the July release, Hancock. He is planning to take some time off after this. But he does plan to keep busy on the big sc

Re: [scifinoir2] Will Smith as Nubian Pharaoh Taharka

Denzel Washington and Smith in Uptown Saturday Night? That frightens me! That's a classic comedy, and I don't see that pair working. Smith's silly brand of humour would be too over the top for me, and Washington--by his own words--is just not good with comedy. I can think of lots of better folks

[scifinoir2] Re:Uptown Saturday Night (was:Will Smith as Nubian Pharaoh Taharka)

I don't think the Denzel and Will casting is any more improbable than the original Sidney and Bill match-up. The "funniest" movie Sir Sidney had made before "Uptown" was "Buck and the Preacher." ~rave! --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, keithbjohn...@... wrote: > > Denzel Washington and Smith

[scifinoir2] Shoot 'Em Up!

I just finished watching "Shoot 'Em Up!" in HD on Cinemax and, even though I knew what was going to happen, it was still HOT! It is going to be on Cinemax West at 8:30 pm CST. (Heck, I might watch it, again!) ~rave!

Re: [scifinoir2] Re:Uptown Saturday Night (was:Will Smith as Nubian Pharaoh Taharka)

Point, but I disagree just because of these two. I could have seen Sidney having comedy in him. Not so Denzel. And either way, I'm just tired enough of Will Smith so that I don't want to see him in this. He was always just a tad too much of a clown for my taste in the comedy thing. But then, th

Re: [scifinoir2] Shoot 'Em Up!

On one of those days I totally wanted to blow brain cells, I watched "Shoot 'Em Up" and "Smokin' Aces" back to back in HD. "Shoot 'Em Up" won. It does what it says on the box. Great casting! Great effects! No script! AND an ending so bad Spike Lee would complain! All my favorite things!
