Re: Movies on DVD
pharvey The simple answer is you cant. Subs files work using a type of add on or plug in that links to your media player on your computer - while the media player plays the vid/audio the plug in synchs the text track and superimposes it onto the media player screen. A lot of players have this integr...

Re: Movies on DVD
A couple of pot boilers from the bag o fun SHADOW PUPPETS Sort of a sci-fi horror thriller that looks to be one of those straight to DVD specials you get on the Sci-Fy Channel, despite starring Jolene Blaylock. Its a pretty simple set up - nine people wake up in an abandoned research facility with n...

Re: History Challenge
Ok, I thought Stevie G would swoop in with the answer. All three have been cited as the cause of someone laughing themselves to death The Goodies episode Kung-Fu Kapers contained the scene above, where Bill Oddie, master of the ancient Lancastrian martial art Ecky-Thump, takes on all challengers.

Re: History Challenge
Ok, Stevie G is on the right track

Re: TV series worth downloading
Matlot depends what software is on your phone. As long as it has Adobe Flash on it (it should have), any streaming source works. If it can run YouTube, it can run other streaming sources. Good sites for TV (and films) http://www.merdb.cn/index.php - default is movie page, TV page is linked at the to...

Re: Movies on DVD
CASTLES IN THE SKY This is more of a BBC feature length one shot drama than a flick, but as its a hour and a half long Id say it belongs here. Eddie Izzard portrays Sir Robert Watson Watt, inventor of the early warning system that would become known as RADAR. Given a tiny budget and little or no su...

Re: Movies on DVD
GOD'S POCKET One of the last films Phillip Seymour Hoffman made before checking out, and like The Master its a pretty good testament to his talents.

Re: History Challenge

Politically, an empire is a geographically extensive group of states and peoples (ethnic groups) united and ruled by a central authority either by a monarch (emperor, empress) or an oligarchy. So I guess that the large areas o...
