Every actor I've met said they found love scenes embarrassing
and would prefer not to "touch bits" with semi-strangers in front
of several dozen other semi-strangers and lots of lights, cameras
and other equipment.

No.
What I said was that some cheap (less than $100) players cannot handle dual
layer discs. There is nothing "arbitrary" or "exclusive" about such discs --
as I mentioned, they are in fact common in TV season sets, which have a lot of
material to cover.
It's such players that should bear a warning label, not the discs, although to
me the cheap price is equivalent to a warning label, not all purchasers are
aware of what they're getting when they buy a super-cheap player.

I'm saying you get what you pay for. If you buy a $79 DVD player, you get a
$79 DVD player and all its problems.

Who said this? Are you serious?
There have been a relatively few number of people (like, under 10) who've
mentioned problems with the DVDs, on this or any forum that I've seen. And
many people who've bought the DVD's and haven't had any problem whatsoever, a
fact you seem to ignore. Quite a leap of logic that the DVD's are
"proprietary" use "incompatible methods" or are not useable by anyone with a
halfway decent DVD player.
Good grief.
>"No proof"? What proof do you demand?
"Proof" in this instance would be a statement that said "I went to a friend's
house (or electronics store) and tried the 'bad DVD' in a player of a
different model than the one I have at home, and it skips in the same place"
(or whatever the problem is). Then it would at least lead to a logical
inference that the problem was the disc, not the player.
> Shame on you for dismissing such information as
> being unfair, wrong, and inaccurate.
And I'd say shame on people who scream "bad disc! bad disc!" in public
without first doing the simple troubleshooting maneuver of taking the disc to
a friend's house or an electronics store and trying the disc on a different
player. That is an incredibly easy way of determining the most likely cause
of the problem. Yet everytime I've asked whether that was done, the answer is
no. Without trying something so simple to determine the facts, the
"information" that such people are giving out is not reliable, accurate, or
anything of the sort -- it's a conclusion that's been jumped to without any
facts to back it up.
So you're right, any reports of problems without such troubleshooting measures
are indeed anecdotal, and therefore unsupported by any evidence, and shouldn't
be relied upon to state the generalization that there's any widespread problem
with the DVDs.

I have two HL T-shirts in rotation: The black one from - um - one
of the Denver cons, I think, and the one from the Anaheim
celebration. That one's got a really pretty design on the back and
I love to wear it. The black one, for some reason, has gotten
very, very soft and it's the one I wear when I want something
that's really comfy.
Today, I'm using Connor's dragon-head katana as a hair-pin through
a thick braid knotted up in the back of my head. Scares the heck
out of the managers, it does. Useful during code reviews, too.
I've taken out a few QA ppl, too.

More recently the movie premiered in Canada on Space:The Imagination Station
in April and then was rerun in early June. It is available commercially on
DVD at <$20US but the VHS price is something like $70US ...
Not the most exciting sci-fi type movie (special effects... huh!, and the
basis in fact questionable) ever made but lots of AP face time which most
"female" HL fans will appreciate and lots of Amanda face time (as she's the
heroine) which "male" SG-1 fans will appreciate. AP plays vulnerable and cute
as well as he ever has and, as a real plus "you'll like him, you'll really,
really like him." :)
PS: They got a body double for Amanda for the nude love scenes but AP stepped
up to the plate and did his own.

Just so people get a sense of the context in which AT made this statement,
I'm including the ENTIRE interview from Cult Times. Sorry for the copyright
violation ...
Cult Times #69 June 2001
Interview with Amanda Tapping by Thomasina Gibson
Who'd Live in A House Like This?
...scattered, all over the shop, are gifts from adoring fans. Outside, sheets
of rain steadily soak a huddled TV crew. Where else could we be but on
location with Stargate SG-1?
Now we know what it's like - being ordered around by Stargate SG-1's Major
Carter. "Come on over to my place," said Amanda Tapping, "take a look at
where Sam Carter lives." Knowing what's best for us, and naturally curious to
visit the home where the Major wends her weary way after a hard day at
Stargate Command, Cult Times immediately jumped on a plane to Canada. They
say the sun shines on the righteous, so there must have been some seriously
naughty people around last month. Having decided to ignore the smart advice
about dressing for cold, wet conditions (Stargate SG-1's publicist has
recommended that for years and it's never rained once) we found ourselves
soaked to the skin and chilled to the bone, having arrived at their location
site during what can only be described as a downpour of biblical proportions.
Still, the warmth of the welcome extended by the show's cast and crew made it
all worthwhile. Take it from one who knows - production teams rarely break
into smiles nor offer hugs to journalists who appear in their midst.
The residents of the city are used to carrying on in the face of the
paraphernalia that accompanies a film crew, and the good folk living in the
North Vancouver suburb chosen as the location base appeared oblivious to the
activity going on in their seemingly ordinary street. Well, it would have
been like a regular street had it not been for umpteen police cars scattered
across the road; the big, white van disgorging space-suited figures carrying
radiation detectors; and the arc lights illuminating the whole scene even
though it was barely midday. Sam Carter's home is actually a colonial style
property belonging to a local resident who has given permission for the house
to be used as a set. If you ignored the sight of the neighbours making
valiant attempts to stay behind the drapes and blinds at their own windows,
and the team of camera operators, sound technicians, runners and assistants
scurrying to and fro between the very lovely house and a makeshift rain
shelter opposite, it could resemble an average, quiet, suburban scene
anywhere in North America.
Richard Dean Anderson (Colonel Jack O'Neill), who says he'd only popped
outside to see what was going on, has managed to drench one of the crew.
Apologizing profusely, Anderson innocently claims, "I was only trying to
direct the water off the tarpaulin," but the fact that he'd waited till the
victim stood directly under the point where the water would run off did not
go unnoticed. Meanwhile, we're huddled under the barely adequate shelter
observing executive producer Michael Greenburg direct the second unit. Eager
to not get any wetter ourselves, we decide to venture inside Major Carter's
house.
Just inside the entrance to the two-storey building, the 'bootie police'
pounce on us to make sure that no one ventures any further with wet shoes.
Made out of the same material as disposable wash cloths, these very fetching,
elasticated over-boots make sure that the flooring inside the building is
protected at all times. Whoever said working on a film set was glamorous has
obviously never had to wear these.
Squeezing past the numerous bodies packed into the hallway preparing for the
next scene, we emerge into a very light, homely living room to be greeted by
the major herself. "Don't I have a nice house?" she beams. "Do you like my
river rock fireplace? I built it myself. And I have an amazing car. Did you
see my car?" I did.
Silver grey and gorgeous, it's parked outside the front door.
As excited as a schoolgirl, Amanda Tapping is thrilled to finally be given
the opportunity to show a private part of her character's life. "This is a
huge, huge episode for Carter," she begins. "We get to see where she lives. I
get to wear normal clothes. I drive an amazing car. It's sweet. You know
what? I think Carter is very cool. She has a 1940 Indian motorcycle; a 1961
beautiful, mint, vintage Volvo and she's got a Harley in her garage that
she's working on, too. How great is that?"
Agreeing that it certainly is wonderful, we ask about an interesting rumour
that we've heard about Carter's life. Bashfully, she reveals, "I have a man.
Of course, at first nobody believes he exists. He's a bit like 'my imaginary
friend'. Actually it's a great episode for me because everyone thinks I'm
crazy and plays into the fact that Carter has no life outside the SGC. They
play into the fact that she never relaxes, so they keep saying things like
'take it easy', 'rest' and 'go home'. So you get to see her house and see
that she does have a normal life."
"My boyfriend is played by Adrian Paul from Highlander, and there is a very
rude scene"
Scoffing at the very idea the actress shrugs, "It's not like she's a complete
loser, you know. Well, she might be a little bit of a loser, but not
totally." Flapping the edge of her cardigan whilst waving her foot about, she
goes on. "I'm loving this episode. I'm wearing funky clothes, well, normal
clothes, and I'm out of my army boots!" she yells. "Look, I'm wearing
ordinary shoes." Clearly used to these impromptu outbursts, the rest of the
crew give Tapping's feet a brief glance before carrying on with their work,
although make-up artist Jan Newman can't quite smother a little giggle.
"What else can I tell you?" Tapping wonders, unperturbed. "The second episode
in was a great episode for Christopher Judge [Teal'c] - he did a terrific
job. We've got scripts up to episode five but that's all I can tell you
because, of course, actors are the last to know what's going on. I don't know
if we 're doing a sixth season or a movie or both."
According to her fellow actors and colleagues, one of the most endearing
things about this woman is that she falls for any sort of joke. Teasing her,
saying that we know what's going to happen but won't tell her, Tapping jumps
up and moans, "Oh, for crying out loud. I'm going to have to wait till I read
about it in this magazine, aren't I?"
Tapping may not have been able to shed much light on the future of Stargate
SG-1 but she has lots to say about the film she made in the hiatus between
Seasons Four and Five. "I did a movie called The Void which has already been
pre-sold to Europe." Smiling, she says, "I had the lead and play a physicist
again. I only get to play smart women, I don't know why, but this time the
character does have a life. She actually has sex - which Sam Carter never
does." Perish the thought!
"My boyfriend is played by Adrian Paul from Highlander, and there is a very
rude scene." Blushing to the tip of her head, she smiles, "Now I've only ever
done one love scene before and that was for network television, so it was
very safe. But this is a movie - which is not so safe." Speaking very slowly
so I don't miss a word, she explains, "I have a very strict no nudity clause
in my contract, so the boobies you see in this movie are not mine. I haven't
seen the finished piece yet, so can only hope they're nice. It's a very
strange thing being an actress with a no nudity clause and then realizing
that they are going to substitute your body and people are going to think
it's you. They are supposed to think it's you." Grateful for her co-star's
professionalism, Tapping says, "Adrian was wonderful to work with. He had
done a lot of love scenes and knew exactly what was OK. He knew exactly where
to put his body so that we didn't have to touch, you know... bits. He's a
lovely person. Of course, there is no comparison to Richard Dean Anderson,
who is the best, but he was lovely all the same.
Sparing her blushes - Tapping had become all flustered by this point - we
turn to another source of delight, which was the actress's first encounter
with veteran actor Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange). "I was so terrified
about working with him in The Void because he's a legend, but it turns out
Malcolm is one of the nicest and sweetest people I have ever met. In the
first scene we rehearsed together he comes in and says in that wonderful,
wonderful voice, 'You've been a very busy and a very naughty girl', and
though I'd literally just met him I went to say my first line and just burst
out laughing because Malcolm McDowell bad called me naughty."
The very thought sets her off again, so to calm down she concentrates on bet
present home. "Have you seen the pictures?" she queries. Indicating the
photographs liberally dotted around the toom, Tapping proudly shows off her
teal family. "There's my grandmother, who is 100 years old, and my
grandfather who is like an English version of Elmer Fudd. And that's me and
my twin." Although she is only ten months old in the picture, Ms Tapping has
hardly changed a bit. The smile and the sparkly eyes are clearly evident. "I
wanted the place to look like my own home so I brought in some of my personal
things." Pointing to two quilts that cover the settee and chair she says,
"Those were sent to me by a fan. Quite a few of the things in here were. I
brought them because my fan mail is just piling up and I haven't had a chance
to answer everyone but then realized this is something I can do to thank
people. I can have their gifts in my episode." Tapping is most insistent that
people refrain from sending her things and states, "This is just a general
'thank you' to acknowledge all the fans, all they've done for the show and
the blessings they bestow on us. Nothing they do is taken for granted by any
of us."
It's almost 7pm and most of the cast and crew have been here since early
morning, but there are still some scenes left to shoot. Following Tapping
down to the garage level, we're there for a further hour or so whilst the
'discovery scene is rehearsed and blocked. They may be nearing the end of a
14-hour day but humour is still high on the agenda. Privileged to find out
what the big secret is, Michael Greenburg - this time huddled in a shelter
outside the garage - warns that the publicist may have to resort to axe
murder if we reveal said secret. He needn't worry. All he has to do is
threaten to stand us out in the rain for hours next time we visit Stargate
SG-1. You'll have to watch the episode on Sky 1 this autumn to find out for
yourself.

Please. We've seen the man's chest, butt and various other parts
of his anatomy (Amanda - the HL one - was right - he has nice legs).
So he's CERTAINLY not shy. Reminds me of a limerick I saw on a HL-
related list:
An actor named Adrial Paul
Was muscular, handsome, and tall
"Oh! Beefcake for you
I just will not do,"
Said he as he bared nearly all.
<g>
I suppose Amanda Tapping, when talking about the only other sex
scene she'd ever done, was referring to her X-Files episode,
"Avatar". Well, at least she got the hunk of the show there too -
Skinner! :)

She just sounds rather shy and sweet to me. Not freaky in the least.
Besides, she's right. Jack O'Neil is the best. <g>
