1. Thats odd.....

I thought it was a law that the first DVD a person bought when they got a player had to be The Matrix. :P


J/K, Those are great choices. LOTR SE is incredible, and Ronin is one of the best car chase movies ever made, IMO. Never seen Galaxy Quest.....

2. You will love LOTR
extended version on DVD if you liked the books. Much better pace.

with Peter Jackson's commentary, so far it's exceding my expectations. :-)

Up to today, I've never seen Ronin - loved it and yes, the chase scenes rocked. Though they're kind of tough to watch considering what took place in Santa Monica a few days ago.

As for Galaxy Quest, I have a question for anyone that happened to see at the theaters. The scene where Tim Allen & Sigourney Weaver run into the Crushy Choppy things and after finding out that they must navigate them to live. Weaver uttered "Well Fuck That!" I swear, that's what she said when I saw it at the theater. Ever since it seems to have been edited to say "frig" or "flip". Is it me or did they re-edit that scene?

Personally, I think they did and it was a silly decision to do so, it kills the effect. I mean really, what's wrong with the "F" word? :eyes:
