(My choice for Dia De Muertos, Santo y Blue Demon contra El Doctor Frankenstein had a "Short wait" and didn't even make it out of the queue.  :mad:)

:D

The fun thing about the movies that get put on a wait is that they'll often send you those on top of your limit when they become available.  I always put all my waitlisted movies to the top of the queue to exploit this to the fullest.

On the other hand, sometimes it bites you in the ass, and you actually get them. :P

It's weird sometimes what gets on a wait, too.  Singin' In the Rain is waitlisted because I wanted the blu-ray, I guess--as is Pinocchio--and I understand the DVD of The Fury, but the DVD of Snake Eyes and the BD of Passion?  Someone's having a Brian De Palma De Palooza, I guess, and it ain't me.

And Hardcore's been on a "very long wait" for like eight months. <_<

Lol, empirical investigation would require independent verification of Carlito's Way and Scarface.

Well, the popular Brian De Palma movies are probably going to be available. :P

But I will tell you that Raising Cain is also on a wait.

Quotemelt their enemies without a hint of regret or remorse,

So Dorothy's protestations to the contrary were a sham?

Missed this, saw it while collating some stuff.  Yes, they were.  She's all "OH I'M SO SORRY I KILLED YOUR LEADER IT WAS ACCIDENT GREEN MEN," but when the soldiers are like "It's totally cool, bitch was awful," she stops being sad about manslaughtering someone immediately.

Same deal with the Witch of the East.  She did not care.  She was using subterfuge until she could assess the political situation in both cases.

P.S.ellus: I was kidding about the B with The Apartment, if that wasn't obvious from the context of the post. :)

Ever since After Hours, I just can't think of the phase "Surrender Dorothy!" in the same way.  ;)

No American home is complete without a crossbow and bolt making tools.  A common housewarming gift.
I do wonder how long it's gonna take before they run out of bullets.

Dude, they're in America. We have plenty of ammo to kill the population several times over.  :showoff:

I know that, but having bullets in Texas while in Georgia is not helpful to your current situation ;)
They are basically sedentary instead of nomads now, at some points, supplied are gonna run low.
Of course, since they keep dying en masse, they'll probably get to the point where they have food surplus for years by the end of the season :D

People in Georgia love their guns almost as much as those in Texas.

Walking Dead- OK, that's one thing that annoys me about this show, and TV shows in general really. So that young couple, they've been happily surviving for what, over a year?, but then the moment they meet the main characters away they go. That just felt thoroughly dumb, complete immersion breaker.
Also...Where does Daryl keep getting his spare bolts? Crossbows aren't the most common of things even in the US right?

[spoiler]What bothered me about her death...was that it looked like when they found her severed leg, the amputation looked pretty clean...as if someone hacked it off with a sword/axe.  And her body was pretty distant for her to crawl (maybe her boyfriend dragged as far as he could before hoofing it).  And why no gunshots?  Makes me wonder if he pulled a Shane on a her.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Well they were suppose to be split up, but she had firearm and nary a gunshot so who knows what happened to her. They were really throwaway characters to show how Carol had moved to the cold pragmatic side. [/spoiler]

Walking Dead.

I know, but if I didn't want to be spoiled on Walking Dead how would I know not to look at the spoiler if I don't know what the spoiler is for before I look at it?

This thread is a bitch for us late watchers. <_< I just ignore anything I think could remotely be WD related. After I watch season 2 I intend to venture to the begining of the thread up to 2011. :)

If you're not watching you really won't know what we're talking about right? I mean if i say "So-and-So" is forced out of the main gang by Season 4, when you watch Season Two are you gonna go..."Hey that's So and So, she's (or he :rolleyes:) is gonna get kicked out of the main group in Season 4. Damn, wish I didn't know that.".... I don't know, I think spoilers are over rated...it's not like agatha christie whodunnits or anything. Look at all the peeps watching Game of Thrones...I mean we all know So And So is  gonna get his (or her) due next season but we still watch.

It's different if you're gonna watch something tomorrow...but if it's not for a while then, spoilers don't mean anything. The first episode of BSG that I saw was the finale. Didn't stop me from then going back and watching the whole thing.
