Trancers: crap-tacular sci-fi
From the makers of “Puppet Master” comes a movie that is even worse. The acting is horrible, stunts laughable, effects cheesy, and acting abismal. If that if your cup of tea, rent “Trancers”. I had not seen it until today and man do I wish I had not, but at least I now have the experience of seeing a seriously bad ‘USA network in the 1980′s’ genre garbage-flic. The budget was obviously less than that of an episode of MacGyver and the overall quality of the film/video was just junk. Perhaps it was shot straight to video? Anyway, here is a boom mic in one of the scenes… not even really an important few seconds that couldn’t have been dropped in the edit, but they let it in. Super sloppy and lazy.
I almost want to remake this whole movie shot for shot as a parody. I could surely do better effects and can borrow a scooter (they ride scooters around).
The DVD menu link that labeled ‘web site’ plays a video of the mailing address and says “Send us a letter”… really? Wow.
Facial Hair: O what time changes
Looking into the mirror after a fresh hair clip and shave today, I couldn’t help but think back (wavy lines) In high-school I was a bit down about my lack of facial hair. Unfortunately, this was one of the few things in life my ‘wishing’ worked. I now have facial hair everywhere on the sphere of my head except: 1. 2 ‘silver dollar size’ circles below my eyes. 2. one mom’s side of the family balding region on the top of my head. 3. one dad’s side of the family balding region on the front of the top of my head. 4. inside my ears (time will change that I suppose)
BBC should extend license fees to N America
It would make so much sense for the BBC to offer streaming television (IPTV) in N America.
With the launch of the BBC iPlayer, we know the technology is already there.
The BBC has a huge opportunity to make gigantic audience inroads.
Potentially, they would be able to sell N America the same programming without having to operate any physical terrestrial broadcast equipment.
Yes, they would most likely need to locate some additional server in the Americas, but the probable cost/viewer ration dropping for IP only TV, it should be a way to subsidize British TV using overseas funds.
From best I can tell the annual fee for “residents of the UK pay £116.00 a year for a color TV license”.
I think the biggest obstacle would be existing BBC America deals with cable and satellite.
Come on BBC!
I want your content (Sky too) but I don’t want nor need US cable or satellite money grubbers in the middle.
Isn’t it 2008?
