This film will be sillier than Predator 2 was.

Well, I either like it or I don't. If I don't, I pick it apart to find out why.  Sometimes it's equally effective to analyze why something doesn't work, as well as why is does.

Oh I could also go a long way to say I don't watch much television anymore, because it's all crap. I read, I write, and I surf a little.

I have to disagree Mac. I think Costner's character was reluctant to take up and keep responsibilty for the kids throughout the movie. That was sorta the theme, a reluctant leader and hero.

Anyhow, I liked it and have watched it twice.

Hmmm - On that, we agree 100%

Dr. Who is good stuff. Though I'm not familiar with all the different actors who played the Doctor on the BBC series, I did like the one with the dark brown, curly hair. What ever his name is.  Did you happen to see any of the movies starring Peter Cushing as the Doctor?

Obviously, I don’t nitpick.  If someone turned "The Fountainhead" or "Atlas Shrugged" into a movie, I would be a lot more demanding I suppose.


I am completely unfamilair with those titles. I am even farther behind in my books than I am in my movies.  My Into to English Studies class is utilizing three books I've never read before, but am quite familiar with: Catcher in the Rye(most of you may have read this, I never did, until now), Uncle Ben's Cabin and The Sound and the Fury.  Should be a good four months of reading.

The Postman was a “feel good” movie and I left the theatre feeling good.  Sometimes that's all I want from my six bucks.


Fortunately I waited until it was on HBO. I liked it, but I don't think it was all you guys say.  And there simply is no denying it was another nail in the coffin of costner's carreer because just didn't make the profit it should have.

Erm, I think there were about three Doctors who had dark brown curly hair, but do you mean Tom Baker?


I found him to be the funniest by far! :)

THAT'S HIM!!! In fact, that is the show's title scene when he played the Doctor.

I know only of three.  Tom Baker being one of them. His characterization was the best of all of them, but this is a very subjective opinion.

I abso sweet lutely do NOT believe this!  I've gone through years of living in the closet, watching my Dr Who in secret and shame only to find out I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE.

*Wipes a tear away as he steps out of the closet, er, TARDIS*

I would have bet real US folding cash that no one here had even heard of the good Doctor, let alone watched it . . .

Tom Baker made an excellent Doctor, but I started with Jon Pertwee and he's still my favorite

I've known about Dr. Who since before 1982. Shortly after graduation I began hanging around with a few people who were very big on Dr. Who. I myself had seen the Cushing movie before that.  The Pertwee actor is another familiar face, and one other that came after Tom Baker.  A young man with blond hair. I believe he wore a coat with a question mark on it.

Regardless, I liked it, but not enough to follow seriously.  Though I did like K-9, Sarah, and I believe her name was Teela. Sarah  complimented Baker especially well.

Do they still make the show? What has become of the actors?

I wanna see Robocop Vs Terminator. I loved the comic/ and video games in the early 90's. That's how I spent many of my 2 dollar allowances back in the day (I speak as an old man yet I know most have underwear older than me  :D )

How about Todd McFarlane vs Frank Miller.

I think just about everyone in the UK grew up watching Doctor Who and I began watching it in around 1976/77.  I've seen many episodes since but the Doctors I like are Tom Baker, Jon Pertwee and Peter Davison, in that order.

The first Doctor, played by William Hartnell (1963-1966)


The second Doctor, played by Patrick Troughton (1966-1969)


The third Doctor, played by Jon Pertwee (1970-1974)


The fourth Doctor, played by Tom Baker (1974-1981)


The fifth Doctor, played by Peter Davison (1982-1984)


The sixth Doctor, played by Colin Baker (1984-1986)


The seventh Doctor, played by Sylvester McCoy (1987-1989)


The eighth Doctor, played by Paul McGann (1996)


Also, Doctor Who films spin off - Dr Who and the Daleks, and Daleks Invasion Earth 2150AD, played by Peter Cushing
