LOL im getting there. All my south parks, simpsons, The 4400, and others are taking up most of my shelf space.

Ahhh, the Simpsons. Exxxcellent! Don't have the actual seasons - yet. We have some Halloween disks, but I need to get the Christmas disk - painfully funny, the whole way through. We actually have all the Stargate SG-1's too, (verrrry cool) and since you're here, maybe you'll know: WHEN oh when will season 8 be released??? I can find no mention of a release date anywhere on the net. The closest I've come is on Amazon.UK where they have individual disks for sale at like 15 pounds each - no set. AARRRGGGHH! If you've heard anything, do tell. I've looked on TVshowsonDVD.com, the SG-1 site, etc. etc. Truly annoying, given that Stargate Atlantis (yawn) was released on disk a while ago, and was run at the same time as SG-1 S8. Plus, SciFi won't play the whole season in order - ever. Can't even tape it, and I missed a bunch of eps the first go-around.

Ok, rant over and hope you can help.

Anyway, re Tales, are you a fan from way back or a newbie? Do you have info on how it all started, fun and interesting tidbits, etc. etc.? I'd be interested, as I've considered buying some. Oh yeah, bought La Femme Nikita S1 yesterday - the cheapest I've ever seen it, $64.00! Not sure whey this show was always so expensive.

This was a lot longer than I expected. Sorry! Love my dvds, though.

What shows on disk does everyon have??

I cant find any info on season 8, but I'll keep looking for it. I've been a tales fan from the beginning.....I always loved horror stuff since I was a kid. When I was younger my mom didn't want me watching themore violent gorey films so she let me watch this. Yeah its got bad language but other then that its not too bad. You should definately consider buying it.

Since you asked what TV shows everyone has on dvd here are mine:

South Park(Seasons 1-5)
Simpsons(seasons 4 & 5)
Unsolved Mysteries(Bizarre Murders, Strange Legends, UFOs, Ghosts, and Psychics)
Strangers With Candy(Seasons 1 -3)
The 4400(Season 1)

Well here is my whole collection:
http://www.dvdaficionado.com/dvds.html?cat...d=horrorgirl623

WOW!! You ROCK! I thought I was one of the only girls out there with a yen for horror. I have almost all of the same ones - a few I don't. I have seen everyone of them though, and I highly approve. Speaking of, have you seen the new George Romero Land of the Dead yet?? Is it as fabulous as I think it'll be?? I can't wait, been too busy. And, can you even wait another moment to see The Devil's Rejects, by Rob Zombie?? Woo-hoo!! I loved House of a 1000 Corpses. I have I Spit On Your Grave, (um, disturbing, much??) but not the new DVD version with Commentary by Joe Bob Briggs (drive-in and B-movie/Horror movie afficianado. Real name John Bloom. Hails from Texas, and is soooo cool.) Love Creepshow (King is GOD!!!), gotta get 28 days Later, & Jeepers 1&2. Got Re-Animator, a no-brainer. So to speak! Ha ha ha!! Been looking for a Directors cut of Scream for the longest. One of my ALL time faves. Every DVD I've purchased (3 so far) of it is cut in a different place, with different bits taken out. Not Cool. If you know of one, do tell. Not many people have Dead Alive and It in their collections. NICE! I did manage to see War of the Worlds, and I was kinda impressed! I thought Steven would make it all kid friendly like he did with Jurassic. I could go on, 350 titles and counting, but as I don't have a cool website...I won't

As for shows, lets see:
Alias 1-3
BtVS 1-7
Angel 1-5
SG-1 1-7
ER (one of my other faves) 1-3 (hurry up already!)
Keen Eddie (they totally botched the soundtrack, replaced the ultra cool one with some lame one for the DVD)
Twin Peaks S1 (PLEASE, PLEASE release S2 on DVD. My VHSs are fading)
My So-Called Life S1 (one of my prized posessions)
Poirot Vol. 1-3
Mystery Science Theatre Vol. 1,3, 4
La Femme Nikita S1 brand new

OK!! Whose a bigger geek than me? I love talking about movies and could do it all day, but as this is a 4400 website I will try and refrain. I did notice that I have yet to purchase 4400 S1, and I will correct that shortly. I have 'em on tape, but so not the same.

And, hey thanks, if you do come across SG-1 S8 info, I would be eternally grateful!

THIS is a cool thread - thanks!

Anyone else a big ol' movie geek??

Yes I saw Land of the Dead the day it came out....what can I say im a horror freak . Personally I loved it...its not the masterpeice all of the reviewers were saying it was but its still really good. Just don't go in thinking it gonna be like Dawn or Day cause its not. Go in with an open mind and enjoy it!

If I have to rate it on 10 Scale I'd give it a 9.


Edit: What wrong with Dead-Alive? Its a cheesy horror classic LOL. I actually got it as a present a couple of Christmas's ago but im glad I did. Now you can't find it anywhere....

I have these TV Shows on DVD:
Season 1 of Simpsons
Season 1&2 of Millineum (waiting for last season 3)
Season 1&2 of Roswell
Season 1-9 of X-Files (and X-Files Movie)
All of the Planet of the Apes (movies and TV show)
All of Star Trek
All of Star Trek: The Next Generation
Season 1 of Star Trek Voyager

I want to get the Smallvilles for Christmas.
(My mom was a super Sci Fi Geek!)

These are the TV shows I have:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer 1-7
Angel 1-4
Stargate SG-1 1-5
Earth: Final Conflict 3-5
Roswell 1-2
X-Files S1
The 4400 S1

Shawnfan: I just looked it up and the 8th season of Stargate SG-1 will be released on August 17.

Hey there Forevermore...bad news (for me, I guess):

Just looked on the SG-1 site and the release dates for S8 are as follows:

USA: 10/04/05
Can: 10/04/05
Aust: 08/17/05
France: 08/16/05

Apparently, MGM has confirmed these release dates so...

WAAA! Oh well, I'll have to distract myself with things 4400

Or get an all region DVD player...

So: what shows do you folks have on dvd?? Anyone seen any good movies lately??

I know this is OT, but we still have some time to kill before the next ep, and I was kinda hoping to read something OTHER than an 'Ode to Alana' - what is it, like FIVE threads in a row devoted to one character's 'hotness'?? OK... LOL! (I'm sorry - make that SEVEN.) Eye Roll.

Looking forward to the next ep. - big time!

The one I need to get is "Farscape" all seasons.

My Family Guy Dvd's are my favorites.

Hey there 4301 - how the heck are ya?

Family guy, hu? I've watched about half an ep of that, so sadly I cannot comment on the show per sey. But I saw the creator on Dinner for Five and he was very cool, funny and intelligent - all the things you look for in an animated series! So, Joe Bob says 'check it out'. I'm a long time Simpsons fan. As are we all, to a point, hm?

As you are here on this board, and this show is decidedly scifi, what other series do you like and or have??

Do Tell

Not really a series of TV shows but, we got the Monster series of movies on DVD - the old Dracula, Wolfman and Frankenstein movies. Then, we got the Mummy movies series on DVD. All these come in very good packages not a lot of extras, really, but the DVDs are cool. It is kind of fun to watch the horror movies that don't have all the just violence stuff. You can actually watch the movies, get kind of creeped out without being grossed out.

Nothing wrong with an off-topic thread, at least this one is interesting! I wouldn't have guessed there were so many horror fans! I'm kind of new to the whole DVD thing, so don't have much of a collection yet. I did see someone had Poirot on their list (sorry, I forget who that was). I love that show, David Suchet is the ultimate Poirot. I'm a huge mystery fan, have been an avid reader since birth, ok not quite birth, but pretty close. I do have Midsomer Murders on DVD, got that recently for b-day.
Speaking of horror shows, does anyone remember Dark Shadows?

Needs:
Farscape complete show
Enterprise all seasons

Haves:
ST TNG-all
ST DS9-all
Dune - SciFi channel production
Children of Dune
X-Files, Mixed Episodes
Simpons, 1,2,need to get them all
Rescue Me-season 1

and...
I'm watching the New Battlestar Galactica
besides the 4400, its my favorite show on TV.
This isnt SciFi,..but my other favorite show is Boston Legal,...well it has Shatner in it, so it kinda counts.LOL

We have a lot of the Dark Shadows Video Tapes. My mom started buyign them when she first got sick and was in bed alll the time and she would order them from Amazon.com. They take up a lot of space. And, they are very good.

Hi there - I'm the Poirot poster. Yes he IS the coolest, hu? Me and my husband love watching him - I love his mannerisms, and the way he gently roasts Hastings all the time! LOL Hastings is such a harmless Magoo, isn't he?? Love it. Also, I really love the whole Art Deco theme to the whole show.

Hmm, all this Poirot talk makes me want to watch some again.

Hey, I'm about to watch "Alien Ressurection", for some reason I never saw this chapter. Ripley rocks, and I understand this movie has a clone of her. Is it worth watching, or should I just post and chat all night?

It's not too bad. Not nearly in the same league as Aliens (the second one) but if you're a Riley fan, you should see it. I like Riley too. She does indeed kick ass There are some good monsters in it, but I feel about this Alien movie the way I feel about the last Matrix movie: see it to complete the set. Hey there are far worse things you could be doing on a Sat. night!

Thanks!!! Yeah, had to complete the Matrix trilogy to see how good things good bad...LOL.

Not like LOTR, which progressively got better.

I'm looking forward the the new " chronicles of Narnia" movies which are coming out soon.

Thanks again.

Me Too!! My dad read me the Chronicles of Nania set and the LOTR and the Hobbit when I was young. I read them myself later. The LOTR movies did indeed just get better and better. I hope they don't mess with the Narnia ones too much. Too bad Peter Jackson isn't directing again - he had the good sense to do right by LOTR, bless him. Looking forward to his take on King Kong!!

Yeah, King Kong, I think Jackson will get that one right!

As for Narnia, the same art/scenic designer from LOTR is working on Narnia, so it should be good. I just read an article about how much this project is challenging him to create a world different from LOTR, its more like a "childs dream" he says. sounds like its in good hands.

Well I don't have this on DVD, but I've seen it ...the movie "Saw"....I love horror films, this one was done in a different style then most movies...anyone else seen it?

Yeah, I liked saw, too bad some areshole told me who the killer was. I would have been shocked more, but I still enjoyed it.

I hear all the buzz is going to be "red eye" by wes craven.

You betcha - I bought that one sight unseen, I had so much faith in it. And I wasn't disappointed! Man, that mask (the clown-like one) was one of the scariest masks I've ever seen. That was one dark flick, hu?? I have a big ol' horror collection and that is one of the best, imo.

Hey I made Journeyman! Yay.

Red Eye by Wes Craven?? Why haven't I heard of this flick? I must be slipping. Bad horror fan, bad! I watched Cursed the other day - the one about werewolves. Pretty lame. I remember hearing about it when it was still in production. Wasn't Scott Foley of Felicity fame supposed to be in it? I guess something happened. Anyway, the good news is the SOUNDTRACK to Cursed is far superior to the movie, so I got me some cool tunes.

I love iTunes!

I'm glad to see other people are Poirot fans as well as Dark Shadows fans. I'm kind of surprised that I haven't seen anyone mention Stephen King (unless I missed it) on here. I thought The Shining was a classic (the original with Jack Nicholson). As a rule, I'm not really that into horror, but I also liked Carrie and Interview with the Vampire for horror movies. Then I vaguely remember some old (70's) movie about a bunch of kids living in some remote place and any adults seemed to disappear...I don't know, the old brain isn't what it used to be.

Try not to puke, but they are working on an X Files 2 movie. It will probably suck like the first movie and the last two seasons of the show.

My mom loved Dark Shadows. What was the name of the creepy vampire? I cant think of it.

Another X-files movie?? Hey that's cool, I didn't hate the first one I have to say. I love the Files, always have. Mulder definitely floats my boat! Guess you could say I'm a Phile...ba-ha!

And I can't believe I haven't mentioned The King (Stephen, that is.) HUGE fan. More of the books than the movies - that is one writer people have a hard time translating to the big screen for some reason. Maybe 3 movies have done him justice: The Shining, Dolores Claiborne, and Shawshank Redemption. Ok, and Carrie.

I started reading his books when I was about 13 - Firestarter was the first. Wow. I was hooked right there. I love his 'Forwards' and 'Intros', when he talks to his 'Gentle Readers'. He is such a great guy. When he had that car accident (i.e. when that van accidently HIT him) and he was touch and go there for a while, I was actually really scared he might die, like the thought of losing a friend. Kinda geeky, hu? But he just has such a way of connecting, and making you feel like he's talking to you.

And no, I'm not his number one fan!! LOL Actually, Misery wasn't bad either, movie wise. James Caan was some serious miscasting, but Kathy Bates was right on the money.

X-Files movie is one of my all-time favorite movies. I can't wait for X-File II. But, then, I love everything X-Files

Don't forget Stand By Me. Not a great adaptation of Stephen King's story but a SUPER DUPER FANTASTIC MOVIE!!!!! That movie is so much like me and my friends. I wish RIver Phoenix was still alive.

Yeah, Stand By Me wasn't bad either. I too miss River Pheonix.

Well, it's a goregeous day in my neck of the woods, so I'm out for a bit - I'll post tonight after the ep. And I'm betting lots of other folks will too. About the SHOW for a nice change.

Let the folks over in the shallow end of the kiddie pool have their sad little game. Actual discussion and conversation seems a bit out of their reach. My guess is that most of them took the LITTLE yellow bus to school!

I agree, and I would have to add Close Encounters of The Third Kind, and E.T. and let's not forget Independence Day.

I am something cool now instead of Stranger or Newbue - Journeyman. I don't know what it means or how they decide maybe since i have been here since the beginnning or something. But, now I am.

Saw the previews for Chronicles of Narnia looks great. Also, you can see the movie preview of King Kong on the Internet. I would wish for Peter Jackson to do the Hobbit, too. But, Elijah Wood already said he wouldn't do it.

Independence Day is great! Also, the idea and graphics of Jurassic Park is excellent. JP 4 will be out soon. I loved #1 and 3. 2 was Ok, but not great. Hopefully, 4 will scare you like #1.

Independence Day? No way.

I like how Mulder took a wiz on the movie poster of that in the XFiles movie.

I really liked IRobot.
And one of my favorites is Gattaca

Hiya, killin' a little time before I watch tonites ep - on tape.

Since this is a thread pertaining to movies and shows, anyone else here watch Queer as Folk? Or Six Feet Under?

QAF is heading out the door - only one more ep. (So is SFU, actually.) I've watched it pretty much since it first aired. LOVE Brian Kinney And Emmett. These last few eps have been incredible, it looks like the show will go out strong. (I was gonna say go out with a bang, or go out on top...but that's just too obvious! )

Anyway, Six Feet Under is getting so depressing that I am looking forward to it ending. Never thought I'd say that. Nate is turning into a truly unlikable guy, imo.

Ok, that's it for now. What shows do you folks watch - when you're not engrossed by the 4400?? Do tell....

Rescue Me...FX
Dead Zone...USA
Battlestar Galactica...SciFi
SG1and atlantis...SciFi
Boston Legal...ABC
Smallville...WB
Lost...ABC
Family Guy...FOX
American Dad...FOX
Family Plots...A&E
Hooking Up...ABC (i have no idea why I like this show)
7 Days...reruns on SpikeTV

Damn, I'm a TV junkie.

I watch Queer as Folk. I like that Melanie and ;indsey are back together as parents. I wasn't sure if I was gonna like it for Brian and Justin but it seems pretty good afterall. I haven't watched tonight yet it comes on in 25 minutes. I also hope Michael gets Ok.

I dont have the pay channels, but my mother loved Six Feet Under before she suddenly passed. I have the QAF soundtrack and that is great.

Just saw the previews for "Invasion" on channel 8. Looks good. I wonder what it will be like

Hey there XFiles Boy and 4301 -

Re QAF; it has gotten really good lately, hu? I'm glad Lindsay and Mel are back too, although I can barely stand Mel. I won't give away tonites plot, although you are probably watching it as I write this. You'll love it, full of heart. As the last eps have been. And YES that soundtrack is amazing. They have a really big one on iTunes - something like 40 or 50 songs for 24.00. I'm seriously considering it. Just for that Sneaker Pimps song 'Spin Spin Sugar'. A.Mazing.

As for the shows I'M addicted to??

ER
Alias
Dead Zone
4400 Duh!
QAF - bidding it a fond farewell
Six Feet - in it's better days. Right now I'm just seeing it out the door.
Good Eats - a MUST see!
Stargate SG-1
The Simpsons
Buffy and Angel reruns, of COURSE!

Think that's it. Egads, more than enough. Sundays lately are busy! Four shows on in one night - two of which I am taping. Luckily we have Dish, and have PST and EST feeds - get to watch 'em twice! Yay.

Who's next?

Kind of related but not really to the show itself but when I watch Queer as Folk, as the closing music plays, it cuts off and starts up again like for the past two seasons. Does it do that for you too and why would the owners of the show let that happen. It makes the show sound real cheap.

Wow, so many shows I've never seen, and some I've never heard of. I guess that comes from working nights. Hey 4301, in answer to your question, the name of the vampire on Dark Shadows was Barnabas Collins. What a great, campy show that was!
