Point Break ON DEMAND
« on: October 10, 2006, 05:54:31 PM »
I know that there will be no need for me to rent Point Break, because if you have Comcast Digital Cable, it is On Demand in the Free Movies section. I'll just crank up my computer, and turn on the cable.
Maybe I'll reauthor it once the new dvd version of Point Break goes down in price a little.

Yeah, I know what you mean! I went to the store thinking "OK, Point Break'll be $10, tops." Then I saw that they just came out with some fancy version of it for $15! It wasn't a deal breaker and if I win the Point Break surfboard they're giving away it will be worth it, but that was even more expensive than X-Men! X-Men is a superior movie by far. OK, maybe not by far, but it's better.

Back to re-authoring!

I think every one of us should try for the surfboard. It belongs to a Riffaholic!

Netflix doesn't have Point Break in stock?  At least in Minneapolis, it doesn't.

Will I have to buy it and go for the surfboard as well?

SecretAgentSuperDragon, did you notice the change from widescreen to full frame about 5 minutes in? When I watched it, when the change occured, it looked like it was fake widescreen and they just sort of slid the black bars from the top and bottom.  ???

That's a technique they use in making full screen movies.  If a scene can't be converted to widescreen, or if its to nice, they'll keep in widescreen and transition it to fullscreen.  This is common for movie beginnings and closings, since that's usually when directors put their big vista shots.  Directors probably demand these scenes stay in widescreen for TV viewing.

Mostly to keep from having to redo the credits for a full screen version.

Notice it's ON DEMAND, not IN DEMAND.  I don't think this movies ever been In Demand. Until now. For us to laugh at.

Grapes? I hate grapes, I can't stand grapes. I loathe grapes. All kinds of grapes. I hate green grapes and I hate purple grapes. I hate grapes with seeds, I hate grapes without seeds. I hate them peeled and nonpeeled. I hate them in bunches, one at a time and in small groups of twos and threes.

What boggles my mind is that they would come out with a new dvd release of it. That would be like coming out with a"Extreme Future" edition of Future War. Its like sugarcoating a dog turd.

Did you notice that the new edition came out around the same time as the riff? Coincidence? I think not!

I think that it's a secret plot by...
