The new Posieden Adventure will probaly make more money then any new SSUS will and with less cost. What year was the last Posieden about the time The Big U came out of service? Maybe it time for both to be reserected? ANd I would watch Different strokes wide screen to catch another glimpse of that hot drug taking thief Dana Plato.

It would have to be another actress. Dana Plato died a few years ago.

Point is, why resurrect a film that was not a fantastic film to begin with? I saw the original "Poseidon." I would call it only OK. I guess film works in a way reverse of other businesses, where you want to imitate someone else's success; apparently in film, if someone has a huge success, it's like a mold that someone threw away, so it's never duplicated. It's apparently easier to "improve" a pile of rubbish than duplicate excellence.

lasuvidaboy, you beat me to the Dana Plato issue. Thanks anyway.

I can only hope Poseidon Adventure 2006 will be better. While the first Poseidon may not be Oscar material, it was none the less very entertaining and has achieved classic cult status. This means there are some fairly large shoes to fill with any remake. Let's hope Hollywood doesn't screw it up like they have done with so many other remakes.

Steeple..it's not so much we are bashing anything new but rather just responding to what is happening to Hollywood. They are flunking for the most part. That's not my opinion but the news is reporting miserable box office reports.

BigUFan I agree with. I'd like to add as well not only for the most part have they not had any movies that says..Yep! I go run out and gotta see this, but their political correctness is disgusting.

Sony USA has recently introduced a 2 High Definiton DVR's that can record both standard definition and high definition programs off the air waves* (if you have an antenna) or off cable. The higher priced model can record up to 60 hours of HD content (1080i or 720p) or 400 hours of standard definition (480p/480i digital or 480i analogue) or any combination that does not exceed the hard disk's capacity. The lower priced model is identical except its hard disk only has half the capacity. A bit pricey but I intend to get one as soon as it's available in Canada...I aready have a PDF copy of the manual.

BTW, although there are antennas that are optimized for digital reception, you don't need to buy one if you already have an antenna. I have been watching HD TV since last September using the same UHF antenna that I have used for analogue transmissions for the last 35 years.

* The FCC reports that as of June 2, 2005 there were 1508 stations in the USA broadcasting digitally. More than 90% of US households have access to 5 or more of these stations.

Information on the Warner Bothers theatrical remake has disappeared from IMDB. The only remake listed is the Hallmark TV version which is listed as being in "post production". A few months ago, IMDB contained details of both versions .
