It's possible that Pete and me are wrong on this film :hmmmm:
(click to show/hide)
So if you want to see by yourself you can always check the trailer of it (it's just 1m52s, compare to the 1h44 torture that is the film)....

Always curious Sebastien?

:laugh: Hey Roger... don't mean that they are all that bad. Besides You may like them more then I did. One or 2 of them may even surprise people that I didn't care much for them... such as Blade Runner... I know that one has a huge following.

For the record... here is what I sent him...

- The 6th Day (not bad... but have had it for years and never felt like watching it again.)
- Alex & Emma (Now this one is BAD! [IMO]... but hopefully you will like it... if not... pass it along!)
- Badder Santa (This one I did not like... but seen many people did)
- Blade Runner (Huge cult following... never did much for me)
- King Kong (This one I like... but have an extended version now)
- Kingston High (Urban high school comedy... watched... ok. nothing special)
- Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (Spoof comedy that just didn't do it for me)
- Lotsa Luck: Vol. 1 (This is the first disc of a complete series set that was given to me)
- RV (Robin Williams... who I normally enjoy... but this one is ok... not great IMO)

I think that is about all of them... plus I returned a serial Roger sent to me that I already had.

Oh... and Roger... I would have sent you some surprises if I knew what you already had... you need an online listing! 

And I did take pity on you... I almost sent over The Sorority! :tease:

Actually, I do have hope for a few of those...I've heard good things about Lotsa Luck and almost bought the whole set in the past.  So now I can at least check it out.  I saw the original version of Blade Runner in the theater so I'm interested in the new version (slightly altered, redited or whatever it is).  I was at Wal-Mart today and saw they had the widescreen version of King Kong there (I believe the one you're sending me is full frame) so I can again check out this movie and if I love it, I can get a nice cheap WS copy if the mood strikes me.  I doubt I'll like Bad Santa as I prefer my Christmas movies wholesome but I'll give it a shot.  I do know you disliked Alex and Emma but I like romantic comedies so I'm hoping I'll like this one.  Someone else gave you that, right?  This means this is that movie's 3rd home...  ::)

Just keep in mind... the studios always put the best part of the movie in the trailers!  :laugh:

The use of the term "best" sounds a little bit generous to me

I can't really remember... but I think that first version of King Kong I had was Full Framed. I got it from Eric... so it is also the 3rd home for it as well.  :P I originally got Alex & Emma from Tammy.

I would like to try to pull Tammy and Jen over here to this forum as well... but alas Tammy don't seem to do forums any more... and Jen... I just never see her on anymore. I did send her an email with the address a while ago though.

I actually wrote Jen yesterday since she had tagged me on Facebook (following a post in which I had tagged her) and I mentioned this site and gave her the link also.  I haven't heard back from her yet.  Of course, she is a new mother and may not have the time that she did before.  :D
