The only remake of a foreign classic that I like is Sweet Charity. Bob Fosse took a serious drama by Fellini and turned it into an absurd musical comedy. WTF, but... it's GREAT!

Oddly enough, the laptop I'm sitting in front of has firewire. (And linux sees it! Might actually work...)

Are the usb disk device names changing?

And... the 1980 adaption of Lathe of Heaven is fantastic. (There's also a remake I refuse to acknowledge.)

Are there any VHS decks that will allow digital transfer without writing a DVD?

Edit: Found it! There are MiniDV / SVHS combo decks with digital out via firewire. Pricey though.

This was a long time ago, so I don't remember the exact details, but...

A couple went as a pair of penguins. And they had a half-dozen friends dress up as National Geographic photographers, following them around.

(Oh, this was probably when March of the Penguins had just been released.)

I've got about 50 books "saved for later" on amazon. I expect to have the spare cash to buy them all sometime soon.

Roadside Picnic has gravitational anomalies, but they're very small, don't move, and are caused by abandoned alien artifacts.

I collect old computers (mostly high-end 90s servers: Sun & SGI, but also some older things like that decwriter & tektronics graphics terminal) and I help run a computer museum, so I frequently have things on loan from the museum - either stuff I'm working on, or photographing.

I had this on loan from the museum a few years ago to get V7 Unix (circa 1979) running on it:
