I was also hoping that wasn't supposed to be some sort of threat. Maybe you should have a co editor in name only. You could've kept Teal as a co editor even if he wasn't able to do anything. That way if it really was a threat and he got you banned, you would have someone you trusted still as an editor. Otherwise this loser could swoop in and take over. Just for the record, I do not see conspiracies everywhere I look.

You know, I was thinking pretty much that exact same thing. Only I hadn't thought of making Teal be the co-editor in name only part.
Very smart idea. ;D
Nor do I, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

I just added "Four Rooms" to my list on Netflix. That's one of those movies I always intended to see but never got around to it. Have you seen "The Legend of 1900"? A good little indy movie with Tim Roth.
Oddly enough that is about how I would rank those movies. I loved "Pulp Fiction". "Reservior Dogs" was OK. I've only seen bits and pieces of "From Dusk til Dawn" and I haven't seen "Desperado".

That would be a pretty good idea wouldn't it.
He said he has give up so I assume that means he won't ask or doing anything else.

Cool. I haven't seen "The Legend of 1900" but I'll have to add that to my list of movies I need to see.
Some indy movies are really good and nicely different from traditional hollywood movies.
Desperado is a good action movie. Quentin Tarantino has a cameo in that movie where he tells a hilarious joke. And Steve Buscemi is in it, I just love him.
Cheech has a nice cameo as well.
I'm not always an action movie fan because hey very pradictable plot, but I really like this movie.
So, what are your favorite movies?

Most of my favorites are goofy comedies. I like Mel Brooks. I like a lot of Kevin Smith's movies, except that I couldn't really get into "Clerks". The two Addams Family movies always make me laugh. ;D
A couple of more dramatic movies I like are "Shawshank Redemption" and "Pleasantville".

I really wanted to get that movie "Day After Tomorrow". It looks pretty well done.
Are yall going to watch Point Pleasant created by Marti Noxon.

Have you seen the movie Rat Race[/b]? It's hilarious and it has Seth Green in it - as well a quite a few other very funny people.
Mel Brooks movies are always a lot of fun.
I really liked "Clerks" but I like his other movies better. Unfortunately "Clerks" is the only one I actually own.
But I plan on changing that.
Those movies are pretty funny.
Two more excellent choices.
"Shawshank Redemption" is not only an excellent movie, it's also a short story by Stephen King.
A lot of people don't realize that, but he doesn't always do the horror. He's an excellent storyteller.

I will probably give "Point Pleasant" a shot. I like that they are putting some new shows on in January. There is a sitcom on NBC that looks promising. Can't remember the name though. I thought "Day After Tomorrow" was very typical. Don't take my word for it though. Give me a movie that 99 people liked and I'll be the 1 out of a 100 that hated it. If I was a dentist I probably would be that 5th one who didn't recommend Trident for my patients who chew gum. ;D

The previews for that look really good. Plus since Marti Noxon involved it automatically gets me to at least try it.
Must support all the former Buffy/Angel/Firefly people.
I watched "Shaun of the Dead" yesterday. That movie was different than I thought it would be.
I thought it was going to be a straight horror spoof but it wasn't.
It mixed the horror and comedy aspects pretty well. Plus it was cool seeing a horror film taking place in England, in the suburbs no less. ;D

I think I knew that at some point, but I forgot about that. It was the same with "Stand By Me" right?
I thought "Rat Race" was cute. I normally can tolerate Rowan Atkinson, but he got on my nerves a bit in that movie.
I'm also one of the few people who will admit to not caring for John Wayne. The only two movies I thought he did that were good were "The Quiet Man" and "Rio Bravo".

I have pretty much no interest in seeing this one.
I never got around to watching "Titanic" either.
Back in the day, when the first Crocodile Dundee movie came out everyone was so in love with that movie.
By the time I finally got to see it I hated it. It had been built up so much and it was such a let down.
I don't always like the movies everyone else does. I like my movies to be different and less predictable.
And sometimes I like a bad movie because it's so bad it's good, like the Evil Dead movies.

I would never watch the Titanic. It is way too long for me.
I am a big fan of horror. I love the Friday series, Halloweens, and Nightmares. I even got Freddy Vs. Jason. They really don't make that many good horror movies or even sequals.
There is another series coming out around March called "The Inside". The show runner is Tim Minear. It is on Fox and is supposed to air on Friday.

Yes, "Stand By Me" is based on the Stephen King short story "The Body".
I would like to see them do a movie based on his short story "Rage", but I think it would be too controversial.
The story is about a boy who holds his high school class hostage. It's an excellent read from what I remember. I haven't read that story since I was 18 or 19 though.
It was one of the stories he wrote under the name Richard Bachman.
"The Running Man" is another movie that's based on one of his short stories that he wrote under the name Richard Bachman.
You know, I've never really sat down and watched a John Wayne movie so I'm not sure if I'd like them or not.
I think my Dad likes them but it's just never been something I was interested in watching.

I love to stumble across a movie that I never heard of that turns out to be good. "Unconditional Love" was one like that. Not the greatest movie in the world, but worth a watch. Rupert Everett, Kathy Bates, Dan Ackroyd and Jonathan Pryce are all in it.
Another one that I liked was "I'll Be There". Again, not the greatest, but still cute. I rented it mainly because Anthony Stewart Head has a small role in it. Craig Ferguson and Charlotte Church are in it as well. There is enough good music in the movie that I wish they had released a soundtrack. Charlotte Church especiall has a couple of good numbers.
