Also, I do credit the remake of Gone in 60 Seconds for one thing -- Making it possible for the original to be released on DVD! It's pretty sad that the new one wasn't even dedicated to HB Maliki since he died on the set of Gone in 60 Seconds 2...(in the 80s).

The progress bar just kept going and going. Right now, my iPod is "stuck" in disk mode, but not only is it ignored by both Macs I tried hooking up to, mine and my girlfriend's, I can't even turn it off. So in numerous instances, I had to wait for the battery to drain before trying anything. I hate doing this, but I might have to go to the Apple store and consult one of their "geniuses". In the past that's often ended in a shouting match. <strong>Slonie:</strong> Actually, I remember the Vanishing Point Dreamcast game... And one thing I learned from Death Proof is that Gone In Sixty Seconds was actually a remake! That and Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry has just been added to my Netflix queue.

And one thing I learned from Death Proof is that Gone In Sixty Seconds was actually a remake! That and Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry has just been added to my Netflix queue.

I saw a midnight screening with four tecate's smuggled in under my jacket, and also scored a real double-sided one-sheet for my trivia prowess. Can't wait to put that up, maybe in the downstairs bathroom so guests will be punched in the face with awesome when they go to take a piss. Somebody borrowed my copy of Vanishing Point and never returned it, and I don't know who...Did you know there was a 1997 remake (direct-to-TV) starring Viggo Mortensen? Crazy huh?

The Sad iPod is never a good sign, but I'd still fire up Fire up iPod Software Updater in the Utilities folder on your eMac and see what happens. That cosplay video is genius.

Repeat, awesome! I'm not a big zombe movie guy, but Planet Terror is probably the best flick in the genre at this point. I totally thought Death Proof was insane-kick-ass-good, genius really. And yes, Thanksgiving was the best trailer in it (if only for the final shot, though the trampoline girl knife death was highly praise-worthy). Hopefully the word will get around that this double-feature is mega awesome (not according to box office pull -- 4th place people?) so spread the word web-heads! See it in a drive-in if you can, I'm sure that will only make the whole thing 1000% better than it already is. Grindhouse is awesome! Repeat, awesome!
