    What I find to be amazing is that they overshot their goal($50000) already within a few days and will probably continue to get more money.

    Erm... good! They should have one there!

    I don't suppose you could googlemap me the location of Metropolis so I could have a look? ;)

    I think there is a plaque in [insert correct U.S. state here] saying "Da boirthplace of Capt'n K'rk and year of birth" (I might be paraphrasing here as I'm not really a super geeky Start Rek phan, just a casually interested person)

    Hah! That's pretty good :-)



    Found it! Here's the Wiki-article on Cap'n Kirkie's birth.

    BTW Is that just a random skit or from a movie?

    From a movie called Fanboys, low budget, but does have some amusing moments.

    It's from the movie 'Fanboys' - It got mixed reviews, I thought it was really good, but I knew nothing about it when I saw it so no hype damage.

    Worth checking out.

    It's unforgettable :lol:

    I wrote down all the cuts (over 60 iirc) and wrote a letter to ITV complaining about it. Got one back saying they'd had loads of complaints so the next time they would show it it wouldn't be as cut. And the next time it was actually the BBFC passed version :o :D

    I've probably still got those letters 15 years on!
    Oh, no. Every time you turn up something monumental and terrible happens.
    I don’t think I have the stomach for it.

    Anybody seen the cable TV version of Kill Bill? "I'm Buck and I came here to PARTY!" :lol:

    The Pussy Wagon even has the word party badly super imposed over the word pussy, it's so bad it actually looks like they've just tried to pixelate the word to hide it :D

    Not all the best lines, but some cracking edits that I remember, and some wonderful dubs!

    Not anywhere near as bad as the ITV version of Beverly Hills Cop!!

    I saw a version of the last boy scout once with the bad language CUT from the film completely - it only lasted about 45 minutes!

    i remember seeing the directors cut of teminator 2 on ITV. it has loads of extas scenes put in, but because of all the cuts, it was actually shorter than the original. :razz:

    but yeah ITV was bad for that sort of thing, schwartzenegger and bruce willis usually bore the brunt.

    It was shown like that first on BBC1. I remember finally getting to see the proper stuff in the ending, but I had to suffer the stupid white flash cuts all the way to the ending.

    I'm glad they released the DC on DVD here :D
