Re: [scifinoir2] Call for: Worse Saves In SciFi History
I can't stand small screens either...My ex has a 20 screen in her apartment and it is absolutely maddening to watch the tiny TV... [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i don't like small TVs or screens. My living room TV is 32 and i can't wait to upgrade to a 42 or 50 plasma so i can watch it from the den as well. (that'll proabably be next Christmas, though). I really like to see detail on the screen, so small screens bug me. i like to be immersed in the complete audio-visual experience (which is why, Tracey, I'll never give up the theatrical experience, even when i get a big flatscreen). I do feel you on the small rooms, though. i wonder if it's because I grew up in a small house (five rooms, three brothers in one bedroom) but I like smaller, cozier, feeling rooms. When I see apartments or houses with giant open plans and soaring, vaulted ceilings, i feel nervous and exposed. Seriously. The biggest thing my wife and i had when we bought our house is that, since it's older, it has smaller, discrete rooms, and only 8' ceilings. My wife--who is only 5' tall--feels closed in by the rooms and the low ceiling. But I--standing 6'1--feel just fine. She wants our next house to be open plan, where the kitchen, den, and living room are all more or less visible, similar to one big one. She even has been talking about getting a loft. My comment to her was that if we do that, i'll almost never be in the living room, probably spending all my time in a smaller guest bedroom. And a loft is right out, i'm afraid. I was the kind of kid who'd find a spot on the couch, then cover myself in pillows to have a fort or something, and feel completely snug and comfortable. The first time I left my neighborhood on foot (instead of in a car) i was a young child walking our dogs with my mom. My old neighborhood is surrounded by freeways, a river, and a railroad track, and has lots of trees. It's one of those where you can feel a bit sequesterd in spots. So, when we walked out of the neighborhood i was greeted by the sight of the trees dropping away to reveal a large expanse of flat land that ran to the freeway, which arcs upward to a bridge. All around me was open sky, open fields, a giant freeway. I freaked out and had to walk back. Soon as I got behind the cover of the trees again, i felt better. To this day really open spaces make me feel a bit nervous and exposed. You know how some people have nightmares about being entrapped, closed in? My nightmares typically find me in an open plain, flat to the horizon, with the exception of a giant building or ship towering above me. The terror i feel at standing in the shadow of a giant cruise ship or spaceship or building towering a thousand feet above me is hard to describe. Yet i'm not afraid of heights... -- Original message -- From: Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't really know. Just always have.

I actually like small tvs myself.

Re: [scifinoir2] Call for: Worse Saves In SciFi History
i don't like small TVs or screens. My living room TV is 32 and i can't wait to upgrade to a 42 or 50 plasma so i can watch it from the den as well. (that'll proabably be next Christmas, though). I really like to see detail on the screen, so small screens bug me. i like to be immersed in the complete audio-visual experience (which is why, Tracey, I'll never give up the theatrical experience, even when i get a big flatscreen). I do feel you on the small rooms, though. i wonder if it's because I grew up in a small house (five rooms, three brothers in one bedroom) but I like smaller, cozier, feeling rooms. When I see apartments or houses with giant open plans and soaring, vaulted ceilings, i feel nervous and exposed. Seriously. The biggest thing my wife and i had when we bought our house is that, since it's older, it has smaller, discrete rooms, and only 8' ceilings. My wife--who is only 5' tall--feels closed in by the rooms and the low ceiling. But I--standing 6'1--feel just fine. She wants our next house to be open plan, where the kitchen, den, and living room are all more or less visible, similar to one big one. She even has been talking about getting a loft. My comment to her was that if we do that, i'll almost never be in the living room, probably spending all my time in a smaller guest bedroom. And a loft is right out, i'm afraid. I was the kind of kid who'd find a spot on the couch, then cover myself in pillows to have a fort or something, and feel completely snug and comfortable. The first time I left my neighborhood on foot (instead of in a car) i was a young child walking our dogs with my mom. My old neighborhood is surrounded by freeways, a river, and a railroad track, and has lots of trees. It's one of those where you can feel a bit sequesterd in spots. So, when we walked out of the neighborhood i was greeted by the sight of the trees dropping away to reveal a large expanse of flat land that ran to the freeway, which arcs upward to a bridge. All around me was open sky, open fields, a giant freeway. I freaked out and had to walk back. Soon as I got behind the cover of the trees again, i felt better. To this day really open spaces make me feel a bit nervous and exposed. You know how some people have nightmares about being entrapped, closed in? My nightmares typically find me in an open plain, flat to the horizon, with the exception of a giant building or ship towering above me. The terror i feel at standing in the shadow of a giant cruise ship or spaceship or building towering a thousand feet above me is hard to describe. Yet i'm not afraid of heights... -- Original message -- From: Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't really know. Just always have. And I should clarify- the storage room I speak of was actually the master bedroom of my apartment.

I can related there with the small room thing too. I used to have this big one room loft that doubled as a photography studio I shared with a business partner and I kept setting up these small living area nooks instead of using the whole space. I hated the high ceilings (weird huh). If I ever get a loft again, I would get one with an actual loft section for sleeping or one that is sectioned up. I know that is defeating the purpose.

In fact, I think if I got rid of it, and I¹d be pretty happy. I love watching games and an occasional movie on it ...but you know what I like even more? I have an iMac in my office since I think 2004. I LOVE watching movies and TV shows on my computer. When I settled in to watch Sliders season 1 (which is still $20 at Wal Mart, btw) -- iMac. Transformers on DVD? iMac. When I watched the LOTR DVDs it was on a much smaller TV in my office. I enjoy watching that smaller TV with my son because we have our own chairs to sit in and get comfortable. And he¹s 4, so it¹s not really about what¹s on screen, it¹s the time we¹re spending together. We could be listening to radio serials and it would have the same effect. I am waiting for the RE-remastered TOS episodes to go to iTunes because I will download them all and watch them at the end of the day. I watch more TV on my computer than I do on the screen. When I¹m on the road I watch DVDs on my laptop, and if Apple steps up their anime game...iPhone. My iTunes library is pretty big, I listen to more music and podcasts than I watch network TV. IN fact, if it weren¹t for TCM and football, I would only watch like 3 hours of programmed TV a week. I know I can get most of the movies I like on TCM from GreenCine or Netflix. I have been thinking about getting Setanta Sports. If I could get it so that I could watch EPL games on my iMac or laptop...I would really have no reason to watch a large screen TV. In fact, I should run the numbers on what I would be spending if I got a package to watch soccer on my computers and bought tickets to go SEE football games I wanted to see in Charlotte. If I downgraded my cable package, I may actually end up spending the same amount of money and would have more fun.

Well there is know duplicating the 50 people yelling at the screen experience that you crave I know there is know getting you out of the theatre. Regarding the Big Room/ Small Room conflict. Chris and I have the reverse. He loves big open room and I like lots of small cozy rooms. If we had the large open living room with the high ceilings, i would hang out in the office or the bedroom. They look pretty, but I feel like I am in a lobby or waiting room. I did the pillow fort thing too. My daughter gets me to do it with her now. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i don't like small TVs or screens. My living room TV is 32 and i can't wait to upgrade to a 42 or 50 plasma so i can watch it from the den as well. (that'll proabably be next Christmas, though). I really like to see detail on the screen, so small screens bug me. i like to be immersed in the complete audio-visual experience (which is why, Tracey, I'll never give up the theatrical experience, even when i get a big flatscreen). I do feel you on the small rooms, though. i wonder if it's because I grew up in a small house (five rooms, three brothers in one bedroom) but I like smaller, cozier, feeling rooms. When I see apartments or houses with giant open plans and soaring, vaulted ceilings, i feel nervous and exposed. Seriously. The biggest thing my wife and i had when we bought our house is that, since it's older, it has smaller, discrete rooms, and only 8' ceilings. My wife--who is only 5' tall--feels closed in by the rooms and the low ceiling. But I--standing 6'1--feel just fine. She wants our next house to be open plan, where the kitchen, den, and living room are all more or less visible, similar to one big one. She even has been talking about getting a loft. My comment to her was that if we do that, i'll almost never be in the living room, probably spending all my time in a smaller guest bedroom. And a loft is right out, i'm afraid. I was the kind of kid who'd find a spot on the couch, then cover myself in pillows to have a fort or something, and feel completely snug and comfortable. The first time I left my neighborhood on foot (instead of in a car) i was a young child walking our dogs with my mom. My old neighborhood is surrounded by freeways, a river, and a railroad track, and has lots of trees. It's one of those where you can feel a bit sequesterd in spots. So, when we walked out of the neighborhood i was greeted by the sight of the trees dropping away to reveal a large expanse of flat land that ran to the freeway, which arcs upward to a bridge. All around me was open sky, open fields, a giant freeway. I freaked out and had to walk back. Soon as I got behind the cover of the trees again, i felt better. To this day really open spaces make me feel a bit nervous and exposed. You know how some people have nightmares about being entrapped, closed in? My nightmares typically find me in an open plain, flat to the horizon, with the exception of a giant building or ship towering above me. The terror i feel at standing in the shadow of a giant cruise ship or spaceship or building towering a thousand feet above me is hard to describe.

Re: [scifinoir2] Call for: Worse Saves In SciFi History
Here is my nomination for the worst bad plot blockbuster of all time: Revenge of The Sith: Anakin haunted by visions of the death of his beloved Padme embraces the Dark Side in order to save her from what he sees as an inescapable fate and when she questions his judgement, he attempts to kill her. Not only is this one of the insipid and lackluster character motivations of all time, it's also the single most disappointing moment in the history of Sci-Fi. Watching George Lucas destroy what could have been the single greatest legacy in the history of the genre and essentially reduce it to used asswipe is staggeringly heartbreaking. Arguably, there has never been a moment more anticipated or considered in the history of Science Fiction than the transition of Anakin Skywalker from Jedi Knight to Sith Lord.

Re: [scifinoir2] Call for: Worse Saves In SciFi History
Bad moment, but it's not technically a save. For a bad straight out save from Star Wars, how about Luke getting his a kicked by the cackling Emperor, whining Father! Help me please!. I always thought the conversion of Vader from this super bad buy who'd spent decades murdering his own former Jedi fellows to a good guy was rushed. We didn't get enough time to believe his love for Luke would grow like that. After all, he'd told the Emperor earlier Luke would joing them or die, then, after one meeting (when Luke, manacled, is carted off to the Emperor) he starts having pangs of guilt?? WTF? There wasn't any real time devoted to him and Luke getting to know each other, to bond. So that's his son? Big deal. The guy's killed God knows how many children over the years.

Re: [scifinoir2] Call for: Worse Saves In SciFi History
you know, Tracey, just dicussing DS9 makes me nostalgic. I was up really late this morning, and Voyager was being shown on Spike TV at 1 am. I feel asleep, but when i awoke for a moment an hour or so later, i think i heard an ep of DS9 in the background. Fell asleep again, but remember feeling vaguely angry at why it'd be on at such an inaccesible hour. I got about two hundred bucks worth of Best Buy gift cards for Christmas. I keep bouncing back between saving them for a big flatscreen plasma TV, or getting the complete run of one of my favorite series: Avatar, Battlestar Galactica, Homicide (one of the greatest TV dramas ever), Babylon 5, original Trek, or DS9.

Re: [scifinoir2] Call for: Worse Saves In SciFi History
Both Conan movie finales. In the first Conan flick (which I love) i thought Conan overcoming Thulsa Doom's mental control to chop off his head was anticlimactic. He wobbled for a bit, then starts swinging the sword. Always feel let down by that one. And in Conan the Destroyer, the fight with the god at the end is just laughable. With the obvious fake lightning and thunder (stagehands flickering the lights and hitting metal sheets with hammers) Conan jumps on the underworld creature and literally tears its mouth open to kill it. Supposed to be a big deal, but seemed stupid to me. Who's he supposed to be, Hercules? -- Original message -- From: Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L.

Let me fix that...(big screen, big screen, big screen...) You can hav the big screen and buy the collections later...(big screen, big screen, big screen...) Everything will look so much better on that BIG SCREEN...this is only a suggestion... [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: you know, Tracey, just dicussing DS9 makes me nostalgic. I was up really late this morning, and Voyager was being shown on Spike TV at 1 am. I feel asleep, but when i awoke for a moment an hour or so later, i think i heard an ep of DS9 in the background. Fell asleep again, but remember feeling vaguely angry at why it'd be on at such an inaccesible hour. I got about two hundred bucks worth of Best Buy gift cards for Christmas. I keep bouncing back between saving them for a big flatscreen plasma TV, or getting the complete run of one of my favorite series: Avatar, Battlestar Galactica, Homicide (one of the greatest TV dramas ever), Babylon 5, original Trek, or DS9. I keep finding myself leaning towards DS9... -- Original message -- From: Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L. Minor) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Refresh my memory. I forgot how it ended.
