Whale Rider movie on TV tonight (4/12/04)

[Mermaidman]

Oxygen network is showing Whale Rider tonight. I was surprised because it's a 'new' movie on a non-premium network.

The film was actually produced in 2002, but not released in the United States until June 2003, I believe. The fact that it is being aired on a fairly publicly available channel less than a year after the US release is nice, and certainly could be classified as a deal.

TFTHU!! lol

They showed this monster on oxygen before. They showed it a couple times because I saw like the end of it and it was really good so I watched from the beginning when they repeated it!

I'll watch this as soon as I'm done watching Inhale with Steve Ross and Oprah After the Show.

The cute girl in the titular role was nominated for an Oscar for supporting actor.

More info on Whale Rider

And you admit to watching the Oprah channel?

Not a hot deal.

Not that there's anything wrong with it you presumptive diot.

I got it here. and I like free movies

Free is good and I suppose a girl in a titular role must be OK too.

I'm pretty sure she was nominated for best actress, not supporting actress as she was the lead in the movie...

She's like 13 or 14, dude

Good movie, off topic.


Oh, and let's get this straigt, men don't watch Oprah

 

[Gamedude51]

Titular means having to do with the title....ie the little girl is the whale rider. He's saying it's a good thing that this movie has women in prominent roles.

The movie has 2 things going for it in my book:
1. Lisa Gerard of Dead Can Dance did the music.
2. It is a modern film dealing with the Maori culture.

Can I post a Hot Deal anytime new episodes of my favorite cartoon series are scheduled to be shown on Cartoon Network?

They are new, never seen before, and they are FREE! Hot Deal, right?

Unless it's some sort of free or discounted monthly cable/satellite subscription, Pay-Per-View, or Video On Demand offer, I don't see how any kind of television programming can be considered a "Hot Deal". You're paying for any other kind of programming by either watching commercials or paying your cable or satellite provider.

Wrong forum.

Lock this crap.

 

[TechDreamer]

Thanks OP.

My Tivo is set to record it at 10am on 4-13.

 

[jamminj606]

this is a great movie. I don't know why people get so ansy about locking stuff that *might be slightly off topic. Its a premium movie on basic cable, its close enough to a deal for me.

Because there are so many damn threads on here! It's hard to separate the actual hot deals from crap like this. Think about it: If everything in the world were a hot deal, how would you tell what's hot anymore?

I think it should be more proactive moderation on here, i.e., a thread has to be approved before posting.


And, it's 'antsy', by the way.

That's why there's something called a thread title.. and you might actually find it useful if you read it and judge the "hotness" for yourself.
