[color=#000000ost_uid0]It depends on what she's wearing. Or in deference to a certain fiver, what she's [iost_uid0]not[/iost_uid0] wearing.

[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0]I didn't know Dave Barry wrote fivers. [/quoteost_uid0]

He does, occasionaly. Memo to self: find Dave's article on Titanic.

Your point being?

I have no idea what you're all talking about, therefor it's probably babylon 5.
Okay, so I [iost_uid0]did[/iost_uid0] read the b5 fivers today, but still it's kinda hard if you haven't seen the episodes, or any b5 episodes for that matter.[/colorost_uid0]

Remember, you're talking to someone who has difficulty telling Kha-za-dum and Z'Ha'Dum apart.

You know, Cat, it's a strange thing, but I was obsessed with B5 without watching any episodes at all. I started with online synopses and only got to watch episodes nine months after that (when my friend in the US brought back tapes of Season 5, of all things...) Yeah, I'm weird, I know.


Yeah yeah back to Two Towers now [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Back on track for a sec...I think LOTR:TTT is really very well made, and entertaining, and not just because of the elves and hobbits and men. The movie is, in fact, an actual film, I think, not just something of entertaintment(not that that's bad...POTC is a movie, but still good and fun), but a peice of art that happens to be popular, that a lot of effort, time, and artistry went into.

Now, of course there are lots of good films that are made on a shoestring budget, and lots of bad films that are made on a huge budget, but...there's this guy in my program that says that the LOTR series is stupid and bad because Peter Jackson "sold out" and actually made a lot money doing LOTR. So, it raised an interesting question...is making a great movie, in fact a great FILM, which happens to make a lot of money, mean it's bad, because it's popular and not "indepentant"? (that was his argument-popular=bad)

Okay, so away from my late-night ramblings, and back to the subject at hand of...discussing what the subject at hand is...or whatever...[/colorost_uid0]
