And in Life of Brian, you do see the Full Monty Phyton.

And a thank you to George Harrison for coming to the
financial rescue of the Phythons, who had fundig for "Brian"
cut days before filming was to begin.

I picked up the "Ausstin Powers: Goldmember" DVD recently and I'm not
happy with it. Not because of the movie itself, that was OK. No, it's
because of the "Infinifilm" stuff. It disabled my scan and pause
functions, which means I have to stop the disc, which means I have to
start watching from the beginning of the chapter I was in, which is
ANNOYING! This is the only DVD I have that does does this so I'm
certain Infinifilm is the culprit.
Has anyone else had similar experiences with Infinifilm DVD's?

I had the same problem with that DVD. I hope this kind of
control-freakery doesn't become more common. It reminds me of when
Disney used to disable all the controls during the 'preview of coming
attractions' segment, so you had to watch it all the way through every time.

From the story of Hanukah:
The family of Mattathias became known as the Maccabees, from the Hebrew
word for "hammer," because they were said to strike hammer blows
against their enemies.

Rather than derail the discussion of the content of what's showing
on the movie and video screen, I'll start the new incarnation of the
copyright/napster items.

Okay i just saw "Dawn of the dead" today and i thought it was pretty good.
I didn't see the original and before today i didn't even know there was an
original. I suggest that if anyone has interests in horror movies that you
go and check out this movie.

We stumbled over "What A Girl Wants" on HBO last night and watched
it all the way through; then went out today and rented the DVD so we
could see the first 20 minutes. Rather a decent piece of Hollywood
fluff, as a 17-year-old American goes off to Britain in search of
her absent aristocrat father, played by Colin Firth. Jeff would
probably object to all the British stereotypes.

They oughtta make a film full of American stereotypes, and see if the people
who moan about Brits who moan about British stereotypes laugh on the other
side of their faces.
Just saw "Love, Actually." Quite good, actually.

Re. 37: Actually, it's been done, sortof. Martin Mull did a
"mockumentary" back in the '80s called "The History of White People in
America." It was full of WASP stereotypical traits and such. Quite
funny, as I recall.

"Love, Actually" is a great film.
I saw "Jersey Girl" yesterday. Went in with low expectations after the
reviews and ended up enjoying it a great deal. Carlin is awesome, Raquel
Castro is a total find and Affleck is, well Affleck. Jason Lee and Matt Damon
have cameos, as does Will Smith and there is a good deal of humor.

Re: #38: I don't know, are they?
I can see this morphing into a discussion that should be in aggro. I HOPE it
doesn't morph into a bitching match.
