The DVD and Blu-ray covers are sized to be printed on standard 8 1/2 by 11 paper. Just choose the 'size image to page' option when printing.  The programs can be easily sized down using the option.

Somebody has to begin to care!

Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

Veetus, YOU need to stop caring. When YOU stop caring is when Fox will start moving. As long as YOU are caring, Fox will do nothing. Veetus, stop caring.

I think Robert Rodriguez and PREDATOR are a good fit, though I dislike the way this guy has been making "green screen" movies for the last few years.  The original POTA was shot also entirely "in camera" and think just how unique and even innovative it would be if some filmmaker were able to do the same thing these days.

 

By the way, Veetus, what is with this obsession with what Fox is up to?  Yeah, maybe they may make a new POTA (or at least POTA related) movie, but maybe they won't -- in fact, I'll bet they won't, but other than that I think Fox today is basically a bunch of D$$$$$BAGS!  It just ain't the same ol' Fox.

So pretty much the only thing I'll be focused on (internet wise) next year will be POTA and Avatar. potacollective.com will get a whole new facelift (redesign)while scificountdown.com will only be covering "Caesar" and "Avatar."

So I hope it is good.

That'll be out next year as "The Last Airbender," directed my M. Night

The "Avatar" cartoon is a great series.

Many of my favorite films are James Cameron movies (including
TITANIC), but I have to say the first trailer for "Avatar" left me
severely underwhelmed. The second was better, but still.... I will
see it in IMAX 3D, but my expectations will be somewhat low....

Thank you.  I felt the same way when I saw the trailer.  It's a video game.  Not to mention a visule rip-off of both ALIENS and STARSHIP TOOPERS.  I know know who Cammeron didn't get sued for ALIENS with all the tech and visuals stolen from TROOPERS - not to mention some of the lingo.
