curse you mgm! *dead

>> ^Sarzy:

FYI Robocop totally holds up. It's a great movie. I think people tend to underrate Verhoeven; he's pretty awesome.


Yeah. I am glad the remake got shot down due to MGM's budget problems.

Watching this before Toy Story 3 made me think of exactly that, I was watching ye good ol high quality MGM cartoons of the 50s. Well you can throw Warner Bros. in there as well

I'm just really happy Pixar (or rather a few key Pixar folks) managed to get Disney to make 2D animated movies again... and make sure they didnt suck either.

It's been a while since I saw an episode but I didn't hear any of the themes from Tom and Jerry in there. Is she playing a more recent version and not the old MGMs?

Ahh, I loved this ride, only ever went on it at MGM, but this is a *Quality find.

I keep hearing his

saliva sounds, which makes listening a bit unbearable to me.
>> ^cheesemoo:
Any idea who the narrator is? His voice is neat.

And the MGM lion is probably already dead..and so are most(?) of the actors in the film fragments..

MTM is the production company. Remember the MGM style logo, but instead of a roaring lion, it had a mewing kitty? I always liked that, as you might imagine. From the all-knowing god of the internet Wikipedia...

"Moore married Grant Tinker in 1962, and in 1970 they formed the television production company MTM Enterprises, which created and produced the company's first television series, The Mary Tyler Moore Show. MTM Enterprises would later produce popular American sitcoms and drama television series such as Rhoda and Phyllis (both spin-offs from The Mary Tyler Moore Show), The Bob Newhart Show, WKRP in Cincinnati, Hill Street Blues, and Newhart. Moore and Tinker divorced in 1979."

On a side note, I once installed a custom home theater setup in her apartment in NYC. I never met her but it was a nice place. I had to put speakers in her enormous walk-in closet.

In reply to this comment by therealblankman:
Regarding your recent WKRP posting... Mary Tyler Moore? What's the connection?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

If they were Sifters, you can be damn sure they'd never give a cent.


I'm not sure about that. They are railing against corporate giants - I like to think they would support a grassroots community like this. I could be wrong.

I'll be honest and say that if I was on the other end of their pirating - say as an indie film maker trying to feed my family- I might feel very differently about their organisation. But I hope that if I was an indie film maker- I would have used a novel distribution method a la Radiohead- and bypassed MGM, Fox and the rest of those fat cats - and managed to make a decent amount of dosh on my own.

I hear what you're saying, the argument that because BMW probably paid MGM a decent amount of money to use their car, it suddenly becomes alright to pirate the film. And I think its absurd to suggest they're heroes of morality.

On the other hand the RIAA and MPAA are such immoral bastards themselves there aren't too many consumers willing to fly their banner (lest they get sued for flying a banner without copyright permission).

I think a lot of us dance around in the grey area, not really right, but not exactly outright thievery. I really don't think a "right/fair" option exists at the moment.

>> ^Bidouleroux:

lol. Don't you realize that by watching videos on the sift you're breaking the copyright laws of most industrial countries?


Sorry if it was unclear, the eye patch and peg leg bit was directed at myself

Yep, reminded me of this exhibit from Disney's MGM Studios... which isn't MGM anymore. Huh. They're calling it "Disney's Hollywood Studios" now.

I experienced something almost identical to this 10 years ago at MGM Studios in Florida. They had low lit booths with headphones you sat in and would give a freaky surround sound experience out of just two speakers. The one I was in was a barber scene and it too made the hairs on my neck stand on end when the razor and scissors were used. I think that was hosted by Sony at the time. This one is pretty good too. Upvote!
