Its called desaturation. Basically like turning down the colors on your tv.
Editors often play around with the colors of a film when they are finishing
it. Also if you have the money Panavision will make up film mixtures to
affect the color as well. Which seems sort of wasteful but it is all part
I agree with you on that. Plus there is no reason whatsoever that they need
to raise the price of the book by %75! That's just crazy. Bad business in
the process. I heard that a lot of the publishers were hurting last year and
this is a definite sign.

More than welcome! And it's the same for me. The last pieces of Holmesiana I've

novels written by Laurie King, which posit Holmes as, of all things, a married

No, it wasn't canceled. Indeed, there are at least two made-for-TV movies in
the pipe from Atlantis. So that sell-off really makes no sense, unless the
props are redundancies.

They have taken this subplot and made it into a major storyline this season.
It looks to be at least 3 episodes long. One of the interesting things is a
dark energy light saber from an old war that the main bad guy uses. That was
interesting.

freak meteor shower that turned out to be a the beginnings of a large

including Alcatraz. The effects in the movie weren't the best, but it was

A set for the place they are headquarter in, a motorcycle, street scenes, a
