This blows. In my iTunes at work I see 154 twice and 155 isn't coming through, as you are saying. But our feed is completely up to date and validating, so I have no idea what to suggest. When I unsub and resub, everything works great. Lame.

If you're subscribed on iTunes it downloads #154 again for some reason, but if you go to the iTunes store and search on Filmspotting and go to the actual listing in the iTunes store, episode #155 is there and you can just hit the download button and it will download to your regular subscription folder. 

Great episode by the way.  I wouldn't argue with any of your father movies, only wish there could have been a slot for October Sky - this time the brilliant Chris Cooper is the dad not the son, (as in Lone Star).

Damn, I wish I knew that before I just re-published the show with a new name! Now some of you are going to get 155 twice as well! Sorry. That said though, I'm not sure most people are savvy enough to figure out or follow your suggestion.

Thanks for the help blue heron.

Quite disappointed you didn't include Finding Nemo in your top 5 Adam, but nonetheless, great again this week.

I have even turned my girlfriend onto loving you guys now 8)

I really strongly considered Nemo.

Regarding Harrison Ford... Though I can't say much for movies like Firewall, I would say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Six Days Seven Nights. It's a charming romance adventure and Ford gives one of his very best performances here. It's weird, of course, to see the chemistry with Anne Heche, though less so (I guess) with the passage of time. She's pretty good too.

So, I would say give that one a shot. It's an overlooked DVD pick!!!

I watched Strike on the same day as Potemkin, and thought it was superior, though I might have been to tired when I watched Potemkin and simply didn't notice many things (though I found the image of the cannon getting loaded pretty striking).
Anyway, probably it has been mentioned already, but you can watch Potemkin here: http://www.archive.org/details/BattleshipPotemkin

Can't wait for your take on Metropolis :)

As Ford gets older, his vocabulary gets smaller and smaller and smaller. In Firewall, he basically growls. I don't know how much this effects his acting career. Maybe his next movie after Indy 4 will be some kind of prehistoric drama or something.

Good shows guys and I felt Adam was dead on about The Namesake. I sometimes forget for some reason about the penatly box when it gets top 5 times because in my head I kept thinking this time, "Number one is going to be some Corleone time."

 

love
