Good to see you around, surther! Better wake up the rest of MWC! You guys are sooooooo close to 1 million points, just a few games would put you over the top.

So close and yet so far. But I do have hope. Labor Day is around the corner, the crops will come in school starts and folke will want to neglect there responsibilities and escape into GalCiv.

You ring wraith must be pretty excited, what with your movie getting released to DVD on Tuesday.

To be honest with you, I haven't even seen the Two Towers, yet. The DVD will be my first opportunity.

Just saw the news that LOTR - The Return of the King would be shown on Dec 17.

Don't be a sucker. Wait till november when the extended "I don't want to call the directors cut the directors cut" version comes out.

I bought the first one when it came out... then i kicked myself when the directors cut came out...

I've learn't my lesson.. I'm going to wait till all 3 some out in the directors cut boxed set

Yikes! That should cost about $400!

I don't have that kind of patience. I will rent it tomorrow just to see it again, and then buy the full version in November.

This version is the full theatrical release. I'm going to rent it as well. I haven't seen the movie. The extended version (The director says he hates to call em director's cuts) will be the one out in Nov. That's the one I will buy.

I have the full(directors cut) version of LOTR's and I will buy the same for the Two Towers, although I personally found the 2nd movie to be far inferior to the 1st.

Often the case I'm afraid.
References. Star wars trilogy.
Harry Potter
Godfather trilogy
etc,
etc,

Also the case with the Matrix I've been told.

I think one of the problems is sometimes the first is so groundbreaking and a new story that the second just doesn't compete. It becomes a case of you better do far better with the second just to have an impression it was as good.

Unfortunately, the tendency is not to do quite as good or just as good with the second with the result people perceive a marked decrease in quality.

Good heavens. I actually agree with Pontius about a sci-fi movie being a piece of crap (Matrix Reloaded).

This is apparently the week for shakeups at the core of the Metaverse. I'm now waiting for MM77 to join up with Gamma Squad and for Ray and Pontius to shake hands, follow it with a manly hug, and join MWC!

This is all Kit's fault!!!! If he hadn't left, this wouldn't have happened!!!!!!!

Wait - at a second reading, it seems that you're indicating that you haven't seen the movie yourself and are going on secondhand info. Ah, everything's all right again.

                    
#390  by Veteran TheQuack - 8/25/2003 10:30:37 PM

The second Godfather was the best.

And I think ESB was the best of the original Star Wars trilogy.

But you're right, good sequels are the exception, not the rule.

                    
#391  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 8/26/2003 8:44:01 AM

I rather thought that the exorsist series was way better than the god father..


                          
#392  by Veteran surther - 8/26/2003 1:15:02 PM

I also agree in general with Pontius (strange). Although I think that the Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, and T2 are some exceptions to the rule. It seems that the Two Towers was intended to only be a filler to get you from the excellent first movie to (what had better be an) excellent third movie. That is not to say that there weren't excellent parts to TTT (The Two Towers).

Actually I said I didn't see it but I'm told It's a piece of dung. I didn't see it yet and will reserve judgement.

T2 was definitely alot better done than T1. Ahhnold had actually learned to pretend to act by then. Empire... It was good... Starwars was better. Aliens was better than Alien. But after Aliens... It went down fast. I haven't seen the twin towers. I'm gonna go rent it. I was interested to see what the second would be since they shot them all simultaneously. I'll have to rent the director's cut of the first as some of the extra scenes they shot for that post movie release (1) explain some things you see in 2.

If you haven't noticed I usually wait for video... I'd rather pay the 3 bux, and contribute the other 28 I would have paid at the movies into the kids college fund.


                          
#396  by Veteran Captain Jack Sparrow - 8/26/2003 4:47:18 PM

Also I figure since everyone deadpanned Matrix reloaded, I might be P0'd if I spent 30 bux, but love it for only 3. hehe

I would guess that uber-Matrix fans would not care how good or bad Matrix Reloaded reviews as. I did not find the movie to be half bad myself, but then again I never go in with high expectations for a sequel. I get surprised by one sometimes, but generally not.

Hey, Surther, Great Leader, Omnipotent One, etc. etc.

How do I get access to the MWC forum on the site? I haven't been able to get into it.

Thanks...

Grathocke just tap this link and it should take you home. http://idle.thehueys.com/midwest Link
Otherwise go to the Metaverse and click on MY Empire there should be a link there to the MWC.
