Re: [RE][scifinoir2] ...Meanwhile, over on SciFi

Yeah, I'll check out Scifi as well, though i guess I have to use up more VCR tape space. Between the SciFi stuff, X-Men on NickToons, and Batman/Secret Saturdays/Clone Wars/Ben 10 on Cartoon Network, I'm actually finding too many shows to watch on a Friday night! -- Original messa

Re: [RE][scifinoir2] Avatar, New X-Men Show on NickToons Today

I have it on the downstairs TV, but not on the upstairs one. (Trying to save a bit of dough during these times, you know?) I cut back on my Comcast service a few years ago, eliminating all the premium channels and going down to basic (no higher than SpikeTV). Added a few back so my wife could wa

[scifinoir2] ...Meanwhile, over on SciFi

...and, SciFi has a decent new and I guess permanent lineup tonight. Reruns of "Enterprise" at 5 pm (okay, not everyone will like that), and TNG at 7 pm. Even if you're sick to death of TNG, they're starting with the point where the series really took off. Tonight's ep is "Who Watches the Watch

For those who have the NickToons (NToons) cable channel, the final arc of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" is currently being aired. This goes up to the series finale, with Ang having to face the Firelord and end the threat of the Fire Nation. After that is the premiere of the new series "Wolverine

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: "Benjamin Button" Runaway Lead in Oscar Race

I guess that "star power" wins out. Like I said, i was appalled to see a local entertainment show where the anchors went on and on about "Brad and Angelina", etc., and completely ignored Melissa Leo, to the point of not even reading her name as one of the nominees. -- Original mes

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: "Benjamin Button" Runaway Lead in Oscar Race

You really think they're rewarding him for past performances, given that most of those were pre-burnout? Also, why "cringe inducing"? The racial aspect? Finally, this idea of combining comedic and dramatic performances in one award never made sense to me. The whole acting process is split broadly

[scifinoir2] Re: "Benjamin Button" Runaway Lead in Oscar Race

I've seen it. It was filmed locally so I am biased: I loved the film, but it doesn't touch the heart as "Slumdog Millionaire" does. Some of the themes in BB are repeated more than once, but perhaps that is necessary for american viewers. (At least Hollywood thinks so). Even though some revie

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: "Benjamin Button" Runaway Lead in Oscar Race

Yeah I think Downey's gonna get it based on that as well. I rather liked Downey in Tropic Thunder, but considering that the voting pool is made up of over 1200 actors, I think he was nominated for everything he's done since "Weird Science". Well, okay, maybe "Heart and Soul". On

[scifinoir2] Re: "Benjamin Button" Runaway Lead in Oscar Race

I think Downey's nomination is more for his cumulative work this year. His work was good in Tropic Thunder(cringe inducing but good) but not really that much better than other comedic performances I saw last year. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, keithbjohn...@... wrote: > > Interesting picks
