If I had my way, the Titanic would have sunk 30 minutes in. But then that's because I'm a nice man and wouldn't want to put an audience through three hours of unjustified and excruciatingly melodramatic pap.

I like the way you think, but why wait 30 minutes?

Oh, and don't get me started on Star Wars, because if I'd had my way, I wouldn't have let my kids and grandkids tell me how to do the prequels.

I know, but I'm post-whoring without being quite as blatant about it

would you believe that I have the VHS of Titanic for years and have never even opened it? I'm really not excited about the idea of rewinding tape now, either, so not sure I ever will.

Oh and I bought "Arthur" on DVD for like $6 at Wal-Mart. I love that one line: "I don't drink, because drinking affects your decision-making."

"You may be right. I can't decide!"

Not sure why :shrug:

Maybe you can get it repaired at an antique shop!

Hey, can you tell me what the various participation levels are? I am wondering how long I have to be "suspiciously absent".

It'll change upon your 26th post. After that I'll have to consult a thread in the Off the Cuff section as I don't recall.

I don't use VHS anymore...

I think soon DVDs will be extinct too

did any of you guys check out the Wired story on LG15? It was pretty good, but very dated. It sounds like they wrote it in the summertime.
